I'm really confused about this TBPCR test I've been advised to take. Is it true that the sample needs to be collected from menstrual blood? I'm not sure how to go about collecting a sample like that, and wondering if there's no other way to do this test. Can you help clarify this for me?

Considerations for Your Dad's Stomach Pain
Given the persistent pain and lack of relief from medications, an endoscopy might be a reasonable next step to rule out underlying conditions like ulcers, inflammation, or structural issues.
Regarding medications:
- Mabicon, Rifagut, Rablet, and Pregeb M 75 are typically used for gastrointestinal issues.
- Drotin and Nexpro 20 are also used for similar purposes.
However, since these medications haven't provided relief, consider asking his doctor about:
- Alternative pain management options
- Lifestyle changes (diet, stress management)
- Additional testing (imaging studies)

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I just found out that the yolk sac is measuring 7.8 mm in diameter. I'm a bit worried about what this means for my pregnancy. Is this something I should be concerned about, and is there a chance the yolk sac size can return to normal?
A yolk sac diameter of 7-8 mm at 7 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy is slightly larger than expected, as the normal diameter is usually around 3-5 mm by the sixth week. This could potentially indicate a problem with the pregnancy, such as an early sign of miscarriage. However, it's essential to note that a single ultrasound measurement is not conclusive, and your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the yolk sac size and check for any other signs of a healthy pregnancy. consult gynaecologist
