I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife is 20 weeks pregnant and her screening tests for Down syndrome all came back fine, except for the nuchal fold measurement, which is at 6.7mm. I'm wondering if we should be concerned about this? What could it mean for the baby?

Can you recommend any medications to help delay my period? I really need it to be postponed by at least a week. Also, when should I start taking them to ensure they work in time?
_Puberphonia: Addressing Voice Concerns and Exploring Treatment Options_ Given your concerns and experiences, here's a summary of puberphonia, treatment options, and recommendations for achieving a deeper, more masculine voice: *Understanding Puberphonia* 1. *Definition*: Puberphonia is a voice disorder characterized by a high-pitched voice in males beyond the age of puberty. 2. *Causes*: The exact cause is unknown, but it's thought to be related to hormonal changes, vocal habits, and psychological factors. *Treatment Options* 1. *Voice Therapy*: Speech therapy is the primary treatment for puberphonia. A speech-language pathologist (SLP) will help you develop proper vocal techniques, such as: - Relaxation exercises - Breathing techniques - Vocal exercises to lower pitch - Speech therapy to improve vocal quality 2. *Hormonal Evaluation*: Consult an endocrinologist to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances that might be contributing to your high-pitched voice. *Recommendations* 1. *Seek a Specialist SLP*: Find an SLP with experience in treating voice disorders, particularly puberphonia. 2. *Regular Therapy Sessions*: Commit to regular therapy sessions (at least 2-3 times a week) for an extended period (several months). 3. *Practice Consistently*: Regularly practice the exercises and techniques taught by your SLP to reinforce new vocal habits. 4. *Be Patient*: Changing your voice takes time, effort, and patience. Don't expect immediate results, but instead, focus on gradual progress. *Additional Tips* 1. *Record Your Voice*: Record yourself speaking and listen to the recordings to become more aware of your voice. 2. *Relaxation Techniques*: Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, to help manage stress and anxiety that may be contributing to your high-pitched voice. Please consult a specialist SLP and an endocrinologist to discuss your specific situation and develop a personalized treatment plan.

I found out I have a 3mm cyst in my uterus and I'm 32 years old can this be treated with medicine or would I need surgery? I'm a bit worried about what the best option is for my age
A 3mm uterine cyst is often benign and might not require surgery. Your doctor may recommend observation and regular follow-ups unless symptoms develop.
