I'm currently pregnant and I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and a bit of a cold. I've heard that crocin or paracetamol can be taken to help with these symptoms, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you guide me on whether that's safe or if there are specific precautions I should consider?

During pregnancy, Crocin (paracetamol) can generally be taken for fever and cold, as it is considered safe in moderation. However, it's important to consult your doctor before taking any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your specific stage of pregnancy. Always follow the recommended dosage.

Does the period cycle change due to the weather change?

My uterus is anteverted and bulky, measuring 11.18.58.1 cm, with nonhomogeneous myometrial echoes. The endometrial thickness is 3 mm, and my right ovary is 2.11.3 cm while the left is 21.3 cm with normal echoes. Should I consider surgery for this, or is it something that can be treated without surgery?

It's important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. A bulky uterus, particularly with nonhomogeneous myometrial echoes and thickened endometrium, could indicate conditions like fibroids, adenomyosis, or other issues, which may require surgery, medication, or other treatments

I've noticed some black spots appearing in my vaginal area, and it seems to be getting worse, almost like it's spreading. I'm really worried about what this could be. Could it be a sign of something serious? What should I do next?
