I'm in my fifth month of pregnancy and I've heard that urad dal is good for me. I'm curious if it's safe to eat urad dal papad dough, especially because I like it with pepper. Is it okay for me to have this during pregnancy?

It is generally okay to consume urad dal and papad dough during pregnancy as long as it is prepared safely, cooked well, and eaten in moderation. If you have any concerns or experience discomfort like bloating or indigestion, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider.

I have a 10.48.2 cm fibroid on the posterior wall of my uterus and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm 25, married, and planning for a baby this year. Will the surgery affect my chances of getting pregnant? Is there any way to treat this without surgery?

A fibroid of that size on the posterior uterine wall can affect pregnancy, depending on its location and symptoms. Surgery (myomectomy) can improve your chances of conceiving by removing the fibroid, but recovery time is needed before trying. Some smaller fibroids can be managed medically or with less invasive procedures, but at your size, surgery is often recommended. Discuss fertility-preserving options with your doctor before deciding.
