The symptoms your mother is experiencing are concerning and require medical attention.
Possible Causes
- Phlebitis: Inflammation of the vein caused by the cannula, which can lead to pain, swelling, and discoloration.
- Thrombophlebitis: A blood clot in the vein, which can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected area.
- Infection: Bacterial infection at the site of the cannula, which can cause pain, swelling, redness, and pus.
Immediate Action Required
- Consult her doctor: Reach out to her doctor or the hospital where the cannula was inserted to report the symptoms.
- Seek emergency care: If her doctor is unavailable, consider taking her to the emergency room or urgent care for evaluation and treatment.
Preliminary Care
- Apply warmth: Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling.
- Elevate the hand: Elevate her hand above the level of her heart to reduce swelling.
- Monitor for worsening symptoms: Keep a close eye on her symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen.

View allI found out I have a small clear cyst on my cervix measuring 9.66 cm and they called it a nabothian cyst. Is this something that needs surgery or can it be left alone? I'm a bit worried about the size since it seems large
Nabothian cysts are benign—even 9.6 mm size rarely needs surgery unless symptomatic or infected.

I'm a bit concerned because my recent TVS scan at 5 weeks and 5 days showed the yolk sac and fetal pole, but there wasn't a heartbeat detected yet. Should I be worried? Is it possible that the heartbeat will be detected in the next scan? Can you offer some guidance on what this might mean?
At 5 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, it is not uncommon for the fetal heartbeat to not be detected yet. It is possible that the heartbeat may be detected in your next scan. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
