I'm currently 132 weeks pregnant, and I've noticed that my fasting sugar levels have gone up to 110, while they used to be around 75 before I got pregnant. Should I be worried about gestational diabetes? And what steps can I take to manage it? I'm also concerned about whether this could harm my baby.

110 mgdL fasting blood sugar is elevated but not necessarily a sign of gestational diabetes on its own. Confirmatory testing will help determine your next steps.

View allI'm 6 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy with no miscarriages or other issues so far. My doctor prescribed me Duphaston from the first day until now. Is it really necessary to take it, and what exactly is it for?
Duphaston is a brand name for dydrogesterone, which is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. It is commonly prescribed during early pregnancy to support the uterine lining and reduce the risk of miscarriage. It is often recommended for women with a history of recurrent miscarriages or certain hormonal imbalances. In your case, since you have no history of miscarriage or other problems, the use of Duphaston may be a precautionary measure to support a healthy pregnancy.

I've got two reports showing issues in my uterus and I'm really worried. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other options? Also, what are the chances of recovery if it's stage 1?
Issues in the uterus can sometimes be treated without surgery, especially in early stages. Non-surgical treatments like medication or uterine artery embolization might be options. Stage 1 conditions generally have a high recovery rate with the right care.

I've been dealing with some irregular periods lately, and I'm trying to figure out why this might be happening. I'm 22 years old, and this has only started happening in the past few months. What could be the causes for these changes in my menstrual cycle?
Common reasons include hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and certain medications. I would recommend consulting with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If hormonal imbalance is suspected, birth control pills like "Yaz" can be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle.
