I'm really concerned because my wife, who's 6 weeks pregnant, had a bad toothache last night and ended up taking Zerodol SP. She's pretty worried now. Is that safe?

Testicular pain and size discrepancy can be concerning.

Possible Causes

  1. Hydrocele: Fluid accumulation in the testicle, causing swelling.
  2. Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, leading to swelling and pain.
  3. Orchitis: Inflammation of the testicle, often due to infection.
  4. Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle.
  5. Testicular torsion: A medical emergency where the testicle twists, cutting off blood flow.

Next Steps

  1. Consult a urologist: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate your symptoms.
  2. Physical examination: A urologist will perform a physical examination to assess your testicles.
  3. Imaging tests: Your urologist may order imaging tests, such as an ultrasound, to evaluate your testicles.
  4. Treatment: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medication, surgery, or other interventions.

When to Seek Emergency Care

  1. Severe pain: If you experience sudden, severe pain in your testicles.
  2. Swollen or tender testicle: If your testicle is severely swollen or tender.
  3. Fever: If you have a fever over 101.5F (38.6C).
  4. Vomiting: If you experience vomiting or nausea.

I've been diagnosed with a cornual block in my right Fallopian tube and I'm really worried about it. What are my treatment options if I want to avoid surgery? Are there any medications or non-surgical procedures that could help clear the blockage?

For a cornual block in a right fallopian tube, non-surgical options like tubal cannulation, hysteroscopic surgery, and fertility treatments like IVF can be explored to avoid surgery. Tubal cannulation involves threading a catheter into the blocked tube to clear it, while hysteroscopic surgery uses a thin, lighted device inserted through the cervix to access and potentially remove the blockage. If surgical intervention is not possible or successful, fertility treatments like IVF can bypass the blocked tubes

I'm really worried because I missed my period for 6 days and found out I was pregnant from a test. I tried taking pills to stop the pregnancy, but I messed up and took the second pill 24 hours after the first one instead of waiting 48 hours like it said. I only had thin bleeding for about 2 days. Now, I tested again and it's negative. Could you please help me understand what I should do to get my full period back?

So, I took Mifepristone yesterday morning around 8:30 and then took two Misoprostol tablets after four hours. Later, I took the remaining two Misoprostol tablets after another two hours. I started bleeding, but by last night, the bleeding became very light, almost nothing. I was dealing with stomach pain, vomiting, and feeling weak but now those symptoms have disappeared. How can I tell if the medication worked or not?

It's common for bleeding to vary after taking Mifepristone and Misoprostol, and some people experience lighter bleeding or cramping as the process progresses. You can confirm whether the medication worked by scheduling a follow-up ultrasound with your doctor to ensure that the pregnancy has been terminated completely. If you have concerns or symptoms persist, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
