I'm currently in my first month of pregnancy and I'm taking folic acid and Duphaston 10mg tablets right now. I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe and beneficial to take Duphaston during pregnancy. Do you have any recommendations or advice on this?

View allI'm in my 7th month of pregnancy and started having this cough since last night. Could you suggest any remedies? I'm really concerned if this could be harmful to my baby.
As a pregnant woman in your 7th month, it's essential to manage your cough safely; consider trying warm liquids like tea or broth, honey, and saline drops; avoid cough medicines containing alcohol, caffeine, or codeine; instead, opt for pregnancy-safe cough medications like dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, after consulting your obstetrician; in general, a cough itself doesn't harm the baby, but underlying conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis can, so monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or persist.

I'm looking for some advice on an issue my spouse and I are facing. We've been married for six years and have a five-year-old daughter. We were apart for a while due to work, so we really haven't had regular penetrative sex in a bit. Now, when we're trying to get back into it, my spouse says she feels irritation in her vagina during penetration, even though we have a lot of foreplay and she's wet before we start. It's causing us to have trouble having intercourse. Should we be using a lubrication gel or is there any other remedy you'd suggest?
It sounds like your wife may be experiencing vaginal dryness or irritation. A good solution could be using a water-based lubricant like KY Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and provide comfort during intercourse. If the issue persists, its best to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's in a lot of pain in her abdomen and her menstrual bleeding is pretty heavy. Her hemoglobin level came back at 7.8 gm, which seems low. The sonography shows a bulky uterus. What could be causing all these symptoms? Do you think she might need surgery, or could it be treated with medication?
Can be indicative of conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In the case of fibroids or adenomyosis, medications such as Tranexamic acid can help with heavy menstrual bleeding. For pain relief, your mother can take Ibuprofen. If the symptoms are severe and affecting her quality of life, surgery may be considered. It is important to consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
