I'm a bit worried about my wife who's in her 7th week of pregnancy. She's been having a really tough time with vomiting and just can't seem to keep anything down. The doctor suggested she try Emeset 4mg, but after taking it, she's been feeling uncomfortable with some stomach pain and constipation. I looked it up online, and now I'm confused because there are mixed opinions about using it during pregnancy. Do you think it's safe for her to continue with this medication, or should we consider switching to something else?

Emeset (Ondansetron) can be used in pregnancy but should be done so under careful medical supervision. If she continues to experience discomfort, it's essential to contact her healthcare provider for possible medication adjustment or a safer alternative.

I have a large 17 cm fibroid in the fundus area of my uterus, coming from the posterior myometrium. It's causing pain on the left side of my abdomen, but no lower abdominal pain. My USG shows my uterus is 9.4 cm. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help with this?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for a large fibroid like yours, though surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) is often considered the most effective long-term solution. If you're looking to avoid surgery, options include medications to manage symptoms or address the fibroid itself
