I'm five months pregnant and my recent ultrasound, the TIFFA scan, showed that my baby's kidneys are swelling. I'm really worried. Is this a major problem? Are there things I can do to help reduce the swelling before the next scan?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The swelling in your baby's kidneys, detected during the TIFFA scan at 5 months, may indicate a condition like hydronephrosis or pyelectasis, which can be caused by a urinary tract obstruction or infection; while it's a concern, many cases resolve on their own, and with proper monitoring and care, the prognosis is often good; to reduce swelling and ensure the best possible outcome, follow your doctor's recommendations, attend all scheduled prenatal appointments, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, including staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress.

View allIve been told to take gynaset twice a day for five days to trigger my period. If I stop taking it, will I get my period right away? Im planning to travel on the 18th and started the medication on the 5th. Will my period be finished by the time I need to leave, or should I keep taking the gynaset until my trip is over to push back the period? Could use some advice!
Periods are expected to start 2-7 days after stopping these tablets. In order to be sure to avoid periods during travel, you can take the tablets till the day of travel or until the day you complete your travel.

My wife's pregnancy is going fine, but she noticed some blood spotting twice today, along with brown discharge. Her last period was on April 9th. Our doctor gave her pubergen and ethasyl injections. Is this something we should be worried about, or is it normal? What should I do next?
The bleeding and brown discharge may be implantation bleeding or a threatened miscarriage, but the doctor's administration of Pubergen (progesterone) and Ethasyl (ethyl estradiol) suggests they're taking precautions to support the pregnancy; closely follow the doctor's advice, ensure your wife rests, stays hydrated, and attends follow-up appointments to monitor the pregnancy's progress, and avoid self-medication or excessive worry, as the doctor's intervention aims to mitigate potential risks.
