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?

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 allI'm dealing with something that's been bugging me and could really use some advice. I was diagnosed with minor PCOD back in July 2015. My periods were delayed back then, but they eventually started happening naturally without any medication. To be on the safe side, I went ahead with PCOD treatment, and that's when my anxiety kicked in, which I find a bit confusing. So, after about three months, my ultrasound reports came back normal, and my PCOD seems to be cured. But there's this one thingmy periods are now really scanty, only bleeding for about a day. I used to bleed for around 3 days before all this started. Some people tell me it's all in my head, probably because of high stress and my anxiety disorder. It's confusing because I feel like PCOD might be the root cause of my anxiety, but now that it's supposedly cured, I'm wondering why my periods aren't normal. Any thoughts on what's going on with me?
reduce your stress. Maintain the regular diet and start doing exercises

My mom is 45 and has a tumor-like growth in her uterus. One doctor said surgery isn't urgent and the lumps might shrink after her periods stop. Should we wait or is immediate surgery necessary? Just worried about what's best for her.
Myomectomy (my-o-MEK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids — also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs). These common noncancerous growths appear in the uterus. Uterine fibroids usually develop during childbearing years, but they can occur at any age.
