Question 2

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I just did my glucose tolerance test. My results came back showing that my fasting glucose is 79 mgdL, the 1-hour test is 219 mgdL, the 2-hour test is 192 mgdL, and the 3-hour test is 181 mgdL. My doctor suggested I start taking metformin tablets. I'm concerned about how this might affect my baby. Could you please help me understand if there's any potential impact on my baby from taking this medication?

Interpreting dengue test results can be complex.

_Test results:_

1. _NS1- Weakly positive_: Indicates possible early infection or low-level viral load.
2. _IgM- Negative_: Suggests no recent infection or inadequate immune response.
3. _IgG- Negative_: Indicates no past infection or immunity.

_Treatment approach:_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Discuss your test results with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
2. _Monitor symptoms_: Keep track of your symptoms, such as fever, headache, or joint pain.
3. _Supportive care_: Focus on relieving symptoms, such as:
    - Resting and staying hydrated.
    - Managing fever with medication (e.g., paracetamol).
    - Avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen.
4. _Follow-up testing_: Your doctor may recommend repeat testing to confirm the diagnosis or monitor your condition.

_When to seek immediate attention:_

1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe headache, difficulty breathing, or severe abdominal pain.
2. _Bleeding or bruising_: If you notice unusual bleeding or bruising.
3. _Deteriorating condition_: If your symptoms worsen or you experience severe fatigue, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Concerns about your daughter's weight and development are understandable.

At 14 months, most children start walking and weigh around 9-10 kg.

Consider the following:

- Consult a pediatrician for personalized advice.
- Ensure proper nutrition: Increase calorie intake with nutrient-rich foods.
- Vitamin and mineral supplements may be necessary.

Pediatrician may recommend:

- Weight gain supplements like Pediasure or Ensure.
- Vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone development.

Please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

I had an ultrasound yesterday that showed a right ovarian mass measuring 43.5x20.7mm with two hemorrhagic cysts (15.0x12.0mm and 9.2x8.9mm) and no dominant follicle. The left ovary is normal. I'm really worried do I need surgery to remove the cysts or can they be treated with medication?

It's understandable to be worried about the findings from your ultrasound. Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are usually benign, but some may need treatment, including surgery. The size and any associated symptoms will help determine the best course of action.
