Question 1

I'm feeling really stressed out because I've been trying to have a baby for over a year now, and even though we're having intercourse almost every day, we haven't been successful. My husband's sperm test showed a count of 20 milml, and he's taking Addzoa supplements every afternoon. I'm confused about how much time we should wait between intercourse acts, especially during the middle of my cycle when I'm most fertile. I've had all my medical tests done, and everything looks fine, although I used to have irregular periods. I'm taking supplements for that, and they're regular now. Can you give me some guidance on how to increase my chances of conceiving? I'm really losing confidence.

Question 2

My wife's been having some back pain and issues with her uterus for about a year now, she's 40. A few gynaecologists suggested we need to go for a surgery to remove the uterus. I'm just trying to understand, how much does this operation usually cost, and are there any side effects we should be aware of after the surgery? Could you give me some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

Dear Kumar, removing the uterus (hysterectomy) is a common and generally safe procedure when necessary. The cost can vary based on the hospital and type of surgery but is typically between 50,000-1,50,000. Side effects may include temporary pain, hormonal changes if ovaries are removed, and recovery time of about 4-6 weeks. Please consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation and options.

Question 3

I'm wondering if the blood group of partners plays a role in pregnancy. My fianc and I both have AB positive blood type, and we're a bit concerned about whether this might cause any issues during pregnancy or affect our baby later on. Could you help us understand if we should be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

Same blood groups do not result in pregnancy complications.

Is it safe to get the second dose of Covaxin while I'm on my period, or should I wait for a few days?

It's safe to take the second dose of Covaxin during your period, as there are no contraindications. You can go ahead with the vaccination without delay. However, if you're feeling unwell or have heavy symptoms, it's okay to wait a few days and take it when you're more comfortable.
