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 had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged uterus with a large subserosal fibroid measuring 148.8 cm in the right lateral wall and areas of early degeneration, plus another subserosal fibroid in the anterior wall measuring 1.72.2 cm. My ET is 8mm. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others suggested trying to conceive first. I don't have children yet and I'm really confused about what to do should I prioritize surgery or try to get pregnant with these fibroids?

I'm feeling really nauseous and getting vertigo after taking the ipill. I'm also feeling really weak. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating? Maybe there's a diet plan you can suggest to help with these symptoms?

Your liver function test results show slightly elevated SGPT (49) and bilirubin levels. The bilirubin indirect level (1.47) is close to the upper limit of normal. Fibrosis value (liver stiffness) of 6.3 kPa indicates mild fibrosis. Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist to discuss these results. They may recommend further tests, such as an ultrasound or liver biopsy, to assess liver health. In the meantime, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
