I'm trying to figure out how many days I should rest after getting family planning surgery. Also, are there any specific precautions I need to keep in mind while recovering?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After family planning surgery, rest for at least 2-3 days is generally recommended, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities for about a week. Keep the surgical site clean and dry, monitor for any signs of infection like redness or swelling, and follow up with your doctor as advised.

View allI've just had an ultrasound, and it shows a dominant follicle measuring 18 mm in my right ovary. I'm really worried about whether this is something serious. Is there a risk I should be aware of? What steps can I take to manage or recover from this?
A dominant follicle measuring 18mm in your right ovary is a normal finding, especially if you're in your menstrual cycle's follicular phase . This typically occurs around day 7-10 of a 28-day cycle. The dominant follicle is the largest follicle that will release an egg during ovulation. Having a dominant follicle doesn't necessarily indicate a risk. However, it's essential to monitor its growth and development to ensure it ruptures and releases an egg. If the follicle doesn't rupture, it may lead to issues like ovulation disorders or cyst formation. To support follicular growth and ovulation: - *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. - *Follicular monitoring*: Schedule regular ultrasound scans to track the dominant follicle's growth and development. - *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your scan results and any concerns with your gynecologist or fertility specialist. They may recommend additional tests or treatments to support ovulation and fertility.

I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife's been advised to get an HSG X-ray test. Is this something that's complicated? I'm also concerned about whether it might affect her chances of getting pregnant in the future. Could it possibly cause any infections or have side effects?
HSG (Hysterosalpingography) is a common radiology procedure used to evaluate the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency of the fallopian tubes. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes while taking X-ray images. The procedure itself is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal complexities. It is not known to have a negative impact on future pregnancies. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks of infection or side effects, such as pelvic discomfort, cramping, or a slight risk of allergic reaction to the contrast dye used. These risks are usually minimal and the benefits of the test often outweigh the potential risks. It is important to follow any pre-test instructions provided by the healthcare provider and to inform the medical team of any allergies or medical conditions before undergoing the HSG test.
