Pregnancy with Mitral Heart Disease

_Safety of Continuing Pregnancy_

1. _High-risk pregnancy_: Your pregnancy is considered high-risk due to your pre-existing mitral heart disease.
2. _Close monitoring_: Your cardiologist and obstetrician will closely monitor your condition throughout the pregnancy.
3. _Risk of complications_: There is a risk of complications, such as heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke, during pregnancy and childbirth.

_Surgery After Delivery_

1. _Open-heart surgery_: Your cardiologist recommends open-heart surgery after delivery to address the severe mitral regurgitation.
2. _Valve repair or replacement_: The decision between valve repair and replacement will depend on the surgical evaluation of your valve condition.

_Surgical Options_

1. _Valve repair_: Repairing the mitral valve can preserve the natural valve and avoid long-term anticoagulation.
2. _Valve replacement_: Replacing the mitral valve with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve may be necessary if the valve is severely damaged.

_Precautions During Pregnancy_

1. _Regular check-ups_: Attend regular check-ups with your cardiologist and obstetrician.

Accepted Answer

It's generally safe to conceive if your husband has completed treatment for lymph node TB and is cured. If he was still on medication, it might have been advisable to consult your doctor for guidance. Since your periods are delayed, take a pregnancy test to confirm, and consult your gynecologist for further advice.

Accepted Answer

Drinking lots of water, especially on an empty stomach, and consuming tea in the morning may contribute to loose stools; to achieve normal, smooth, and well-formed stools, try the following: drink water in moderation, avoid drinking water immediately before passing stools, eat a balanced breakfast to help firm up stools, incorporate fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), exercise regularly, and consider reducing or avoiding morning tea or switching to herbal tea to minimize caffeine's laxative effect.

Question 6

I recently drank 2 caps of Lizol, and now I'm feeling a burning sensation in my mouth. What could happen to me? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Drinking Lizol (a disinfectant) is dangerous and can cause severe burns to your mouth, throat, and stomach, along with potential organ damage. Please **seek immediate medical attention** to prevent complications, as it is a medical emergency. Avoid inducing vomiting unless directed by a doctor.
