I've had left hydrosalpinx for the past 3 years after my right tube and ovary were removed. My periods are regular do I need surgery for this or can I leave it alone? Could leaving it untreated cause any harm?

While having regular periods after a hydrosalpinx is a good sign, it's crucial to understand the potential impact of the condition on fertility. Depending on your goals and circumstances, treatment might be recommended. Leaving hydrosalpinx untreated can decrease the chances of conceiving naturally and increase the risk of complications like ectopic pregnancy

My wife has a bulgy uterus around 11.2 cm but no issues like bleeding or pain. The doctor recently removed her left ovary along with an ovarian cyst. She's had two C-sections. Should she still take medication for the bulgy uterus or are there other options we should consider?

A bulky uterus without symptoms doesn't always need treatment; monitoring or hormone therapy can help if needed, especially post-cyst removal and prior surgeries.

I'm currently 132 weeks pregnant, and I've noticed that my fasting sugar levels have gone up to 110, while they used to be around 75 before I got pregnant. Should I be worried about gestational diabetes? And what steps can I take to manage it? I'm also concerned about whether this could harm my baby.

110 mgdL fasting blood sugar is elevated but not necessarily a sign of gestational diabetes on its own. Confirmatory testing will help determine your next steps.

I-pills are emergency contraceptive pills and there is no problem in taking 3 pills in a year.
