I'm 34 weeks pregnant and trying to understand some terms from my latest scan results. Can you explain what these foetal growth parameters mean? Like, what do 'bpd 86 mm', 'hc 312 mm', 'fl 69 mm', and 'ac 304 mm' indicate about my baby's growth? And, it says the estimated foetal weight is 2.5 kg, which sounds reassuring, but is that an average weight for this stage? Also, my amniotic fluid is normal with an AFI of 12 and the placenta is posterior with grade 2 maturity in the upper segment. They're saying there are no obvious anomalies now, and something about the Doppler study of the umbilical artery with terms like 'psv 36 cms' and 'edv 15 cms', and other readings like 'pi 0.84', 'sd 2.3', and 'diastolic filling good'. What do these mean for my baby? It also mentions the uterine artery on the right, and the foetal mca Doppler trace is within normal limits. I'm a bit confused about what all these mean, especially when they mention things like a single live foetus with a vertical lie and low head position. It sounds like everything is okay, but no IUGR and no cord around the babys neck are mentioned too. Could you help clarify all this for me?

I noticed a small lump about the size of a pea under my skin near my clitoris about a month ago. It disappeared but now it's come back and feels like a hard little ball. What could this be and should I be worried?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a benign cyst, possibly a Bartholin gland cyst or a blocked gland. While it's usually not a cause for concern, it's a good idea to get it checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any issues and get proper advice on how to manage it.

Can a woman have an Orgasim after menopause?

Yes but it is also natural that there to be less blood flow to the clitoris and vagina, which reduces sensitivity and can make orgasms both more difficult to achieve and less intense.

I'm really worried because I haven't had my period for the last 6 months, and I can feel something hard in my belly. I don't really feel any other symptoms, but back in January, I had typhoid and jaundice. Could this be related to that? I also had sex in November, but my missed period started before then. Is it possible that I might be pregnant, or could it be something else entirely?

Given your 6-month amenorrhea (absence of periods), feeling something hard in your belly, and previous illnesses like typhoid and jaundice, it's essential to consult a gynecologist
