I'm 7 weeks pregnant and dealing with a lot of acidity. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Gelusil syrup for this. Can you advise?

Based on your blood test report:
High PDW (18.9 fl), MPV, and PLCR indicate:
- Platelet size variation: High PDW suggests a larger variation in platelet size, which can be seen in conditions like thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis.
- Larger platelets: Elevated MPV indicates larger-than-average platelets, which can be associated with conditions like thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, or inflammation.
- Increased platelet activation: High PLCR suggests increased platelet activation, which can be seen in conditions like thrombotic disorders, inflammation, or infection.
Reason for concern:
While these results are abnormal, they don't necessarily indicate a serious underlying condition. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any potential health issues.

Is it okay to use saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation? I'm just wondering if there are any health concerns or risks I should be aware of.
Using saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation is not recommended as it can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, herpes, and gonorrhea, and may also cause vaginal or anal irritation, yeast infections, or other infections; instead, opt for water-based or silicone-based lubricants

My mom needs open abdominal surgery to remove fibroids but our insurance only covers a general 6-bed ward in a well-known Mumbai hospital. Would she be better off staying there or going for a twin-sharing room in a smaller hospital? I'm worried about her comfort and recovery.
I can understand your concern. With your health policy documents comes a document in which all the affiliated hospital names are listed. Whichever you find the best, you can go there and get it operated. Any gynecologist would be able to perform this surgery. Therefore you have to consult a gynecologist of your choice and a hospital of your choice as per your insurance and then consult there.
