I'm dealing with PCOS, and I was given an HCG shot of 10,000 UI along with Duphaston. My pregnancy test came back negative, and now my doctor has prescribed Ovral G for 20 days starting from the second day of my period. I'm wondering why I've been given Ovral G, and why it's important to take it at the same time every day. Could you help me understand this better?

My mother is 45 and has been dealing with gynecological issues for the past three years. She had uterus surgery back in 2015 and has been consulting Dr. Shipra Rani and Dr. Hemlata, who are known as the best gynecologists in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. But now they're saying she needs to see a higher specialist outside our area. I'm really worried what could be the issue that they haven't been able to diagnose? Where should we go for better help, and are there any precautions we should take in the meantime?
Patient is advised for surgeon opinion for further management.

I'm 37 and in my 36th week of my first pregnancy. My ObGyn said I have a genetic blood clotting issue that's affecting the baby's growth she's small at 2.25 kg, and I even lost 2 kg last week. They prescribed daily Innohep 450 injections to help, but I'm worried since I'm planning a C-section. Could this medication cause excessive bleeding during surgery?
Yes, Innohep (enoxaparin) can increase the risk of bleeding, including during a C-section. It's a low-molecular-weight heparin, a type of anticoagulant, meaning it prevents blood clots but can also make it harder for the blood to clot. Because of this, it's crucial to discuss this with your ObGyn and surgeon.
