I'm really worried because I got my test results back and it says my baby might have Trisomy 21 and it's classified as a high risk. Can you help me understand what this means for my baby? What steps should I take next? I'm feeling really anxious about this situation.

A Trisomy 21 positive result with high risk indicates a strong likelihood of Down syndrome in your baby, which can affect physical and intellectual development; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, understand the risks, and consider further testing options, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, to confirm the diagnosis, and prepare for potential outcomes.

I'm really concerned about my episiotomyit still causes me pain, even though it's been three years since I gave birth. It's particularly uncomfortable during my periods and when I'm having intercourse. Should I be worried that this pain hasn't gone away, and is there anything I can do to relieve it?

Episiotomy incision involves the wall of the vagina. Generally, the wall of the vagina is strong, but post surgical intervention, it may weaken. It is important to maintain vaginal wall muscle strength through Kegel's Exercises. Do these everyday to improve muscle strength. If the pain persists, please visit a gynecologist for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing some upper chest pain for a few days now. At first, I thought it was breast pain, but now it feels like the pain is more spread out around the area of my breast. I recently started wearing a wired bra about a week ago, and the pain began around the same time. Even though I've stopped wearing that bra, the pain hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been dealing with PCOD and have been on Krimson for about 3 years now. My recent ultrasound shows a right ovary measuring 4.1 x 3 x 2.5 with a volume of 15.8 cc, and the left ovary is 3.5 x 2.4 x 2.3 with a 10.2 cc volume. I'm really wondering if I should keep taking Krimson. Is there anything else I can do to improve this situation?
