I'm currently using an Aerocort inhaler for my asthma attacks, but now that I'm three weeks pregnant, I'm worried if it's safe for my baby. Is Aerocort okay to use during pregnancy, or is there a safer alternative I should consider?

Aerocort inhaler, which contains beclometasone and salbutamol, is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy for managing asthma, as it helps control symptoms and reduce risks to both you and the baby. However, its essential to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to review alternative options based on your pregnancy stage. Your doctor may adjust your medication to ensure both your safety and the baby's health.

I'm looking at my wife's ultrasound report of her lower abdomen, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions that both her ovaries are showing a PCO pattern. Can you help me understand what this means? Also, it says there's no abnormal solid or cystic lesion seen, and both RO and LO measure 33x18mm. Should I be worried about any of this? What does the measurement indicate?

To find the best doctor for your condition, consider the following options: 1. Consult a Proctologist or a Colorectal Surgeon. 2.
