I'm 30 weeks pregnant and just found out that my amniotic fluid index is 20.8 cm. I'm a bit worried if this is normal. My blood sugar levels and glucose tolerance test were normal, and I don't have an RH negative blood type. Could there be a reason for this high fluid level? And, is there anything I can do to reduce the excess fluid?

Can we eat ice cream during periods?

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

I'm a bit worried because I had a D&C procedure just for a scan to check for any remains after two weeks. Then I had to repeat it with the suction method. Is it normal that I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been almost three weeks? Am I safe?

Based on your description, it seems like you underwent a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure followed by a repeat procedure using suction. It is normal for your menstrual cycle to be irregular or delayed after such procedures. However, if you are concerned about the delay in receiving your menses, you should consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. They may prescribe medications such as Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) to help induce your period.

I have a bartholin abscess and my doctor said surgery might be the only option but I'm really hoping there are medicines that could help instead what treatments or meds could work for this?

While surgical drainage is often necessary for Bartholin abscesses, particularly large or infected ones, some cases can be managed with conservative treatments, including antibiotics and other measures.
