I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant and have a cervical length of 3 CM. I just found out I have a grade 2 anterior placenta. Is it typical to have that at this stage in pregnancy, or should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having a grade 2 placenta at 23 weeks is considered a normal development during pregnancy, and it's common for the placenta to progress from grade 1 to grade 3 as pregnancy advances. Grade 2 placenta typically occurs between 30 to 38 weeks of pregnancy, but it's not uncommon for it to appear earlie

View allI'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?
Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I know this might sound a bit odd, but I'm concerned about the possibility of an ant getting inside the vagina. Could you let me know what the potential effects might be if that happened? I'm just a bit worried and would appreciate your advice on this.
Elevated SGPT and SGOT Levels* Your SGPT (alanine transaminase) and SGOT (aspartate transaminase) levels are significantly elevated, indicating liver stress or damage. *Current Regimen* You've been following an Ayurvedic treatment plan, cycling daily, and avoiding oily and fatty foods. However, your liver enzyme levels have increased instead of decreasing. *Concerns* 1. *Inadequate treatment*: The current Ayurvedic treatment may not be effective in reducing your liver enzyme levels. 2. *Underlying condition*: There might be an underlying condition, such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis, or other liver disorders, that needs to be addressed. 3. *Medication interactions*: Certain medications, including Ayurvedic preparations, can interact with each other or with your liver, exacerbating the condition. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist*: Seek a specialist's opinion to determine the underlying cause of your elevated liver enzyme levels. 2. *Re-evaluate your treatment plan*: Discuss your current treatment plan with your doctor and consider alternative options, such as conventional medications or lifestyle modifications. 3. *Liver function tests*: Repeat your liver function tests to monitor your enzyme levels and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. 4. *Abdominal ultrasound*: Consider undergoing an abdominal ultrasound to rule out any underlying liver conditions. *Job Abroad and Retest* 1. *Inform your employer*: Share your health concerns with your employer and request guidance on the retest. 2. *Provide medical documentation*: Offer to provide medical documentation from your doctor to support your situation.

I'm about four months pregnant and my gynaecologist started me on cutenox injections back in my second month. Lately, I'm noticing that my thigh muscles are getting hard from the injections and it takes a while for the spots to heal. One time, after an injection, I started bleeding and it took hours to stop, even though my platelets are fine. My doctor wants me to continue these injections for the whole nine months. Is this safe for such a long period? And if I decide to stop them, could it harm my baby? I'm worried and would love some clarity.
The prolonged use of Cutenox injections, containing low molecular weight heparin, for 9 months may increase the risk of osteoporosis, bleeding complications, and thrombocytopenia, and although generally considered safe during pregnancy, the frequent bleeding episodes and muscle hardening you're experiencing warrant a reevaluation of your treatment plan with your gynaecologist to weigh the benefits and risks and consider alternative options, as abruptly stopping the injections may not harm the baby, but a gradual transition or adjustment under medical guidance is recommended.
