I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my liver enzymes were high around week 32, so I started taking Udilv 300 tablets. Now the levels have returned to normal. Should I keep taking Udilv 300 until I deliver?

Hydrocele in Children

Hydrocele Overview

Fluid accumulation: Hydrocele is a condition where fluid accumulates in the scrotum, causing swelling.

Common in infants and toddlers: Hydrocele is relatively common in young children, especially during the first two years.

Surgical Intervention

Recommended for persistent hydrocele: If the hydrocele persists beyond 2-3 years, surgical intervention may be recommended.

Surgery benefits: Surgery can help prevent potential complications, such as hernias or testicular damage.

Wait-and-Watch Approach

Suitable for younger children: For children under 2-3 years, a wait-and-watch approach may be recommended, as the hydrocele may resolve on its own.

Monitoring required: Regular follow-ups with your pediatrician or pediatric surgeon are essential to monitor the hydrocele's progress.

Considerations for Your Son

Age and persistence: Since your son is 3.5 years old and the hydrocele has persisted, surgical intervention may be a reasonable option.

Consult with a pediatric surgeon: Schedule a consultation with a pediatric surgeon to discuss the best course of action for your son.

Remember

Every child is different: What works for one child may not work for another.

Follow your pediatrician's advice: Your pediatrician or pediatric surgeon can provide personalized guidance based on your son's specific situation.

My wife's been having some back pain and issues with her uterus for about a year now, she's 40. A few gynaecologists suggested we need to go for a surgery to remove the uterus. I'm just trying to understand, how much does this operation usually cost, and are there any side effects we should be aware of after the surgery? Could you give me some advice on this?

Dear Kumar, removing the uterus (hysterectomy) is a common and generally safe procedure when necessary. The cost can vary based on the hospital and type of surgery but is typically between 50,000-1,50,000. Side effects may include temporary pain, hormonal changes if ovaries are removed, and recovery time of about 4-6 weeks. Please consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation and options.

I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.
