I'm living in the Czech Republic and recently had a laparoscopic myomectomy. It was on February 23rd, and I just got home from the hospital after 5 days. The surgery was a bit tricky because the fibroid was quite large, about 7cm, and I ended up losing 1000ml of blood. The surgeon mentioned I should wait about a year before trying to conceive so that the scar has enough time to heal. I'm curious about what I should expect post-surgery, specifically concerning my menstrual cycle. Also, my belly seems a little swollen, almost like I've gained weight, and I'm puzzled about what's causing it. Is it okay for me to start doing yoga? And should I continue taking Folic acid tablets? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Pregnancy with Mitral Heart Disease
Safety of Continuing Pregnancy
- High-risk pregnancy: Your pregnancy is considered high-risk due to your pre-existing mitral heart disease.
- Close monitoring: Your cardiologist and obstetrician will closely monitor your condition throughout the pregnancy.
- Risk of complications: There is a risk of complications, such as heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke, during pregnancy and childbirth.
Surgery After Delivery
- Open-heart surgery: Your cardiologist recommends open-heart surgery after delivery to address the severe mitral regurgitation.
- Valve repair or replacement: The decision between valve repair and replacement will depend on the surgical evaluation of your valve condition.
Surgical Options
- Valve repair: Repairing the mitral valve can preserve the natural valve and avoid long-term anticoagulation.
- Valve replacement: Replacing the mitral valve with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve may be necessary if the valve is severely damaged.
Precautions During Pregnancy
- Regular check-ups: Attend regular check-ups with your cardiologist and obstetrician.
- Monitor for symptoms: Watch for signs of heart failure, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities: Avoid strenuous activities and lift heavy objects.

I'm taking Susten 200mg tablets twice a day during my luteal phase, as my doctor recommended. It's supposed to be for 10 days, but after 8 days, I started bleeding. Does this mean I'm not pregnant? Is it normal to bleed before finishing the Susten tablets since they're progesterone? Im unsure if I should continue taking the last two days' worth of tablets.
-Bleeding while taking Susten 200mg doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant, as progesterone can sometimes cause breakthrough bleeding. It's important to finish the full course of the medication as prescribed by your doctor, so continue taking the ta

I've been trying to get pregnant for the last 5 months and even saw a doctor back in April. All my blood tests came back normal, and I've been taking folic acid cor3 and amycordial syrup for a couple of months now. My period was 3 days late this time, and I really thought I might be pregnant, but then I noticed a brown discharge in the morning with some white clots. The blood flow seems really thick. I'm just wondering what could be going on and if there's anything I should be doing differently?
Sometimes even in normal individuals due to action of anticoagulants in the body during heavy menstrual bleeding clots can be seen.....apart from this clots and discharge can be seen in certain uterine abnormality like fibroids in uterus,adenomyosis, endometriosis or hormonal imbalance like thyroid hormone imbalance or oestrogen-progestrone imbalance might also be a cause.this things need investigations like transvaginal ultrasound to ruleout the uterine abnormality. Hormone profile to ruleout any imbalance and most of the times the condition is treatable. So kindly consult a gynecologist for further management to ruleout this things.
