My wife is currently 20 weeks pregnant and we're a little concerned after her recent tiffa scan. It showed a white spot on the baby's heart. Could this be something to worry about? What might cause this kind of spot to appear? We would really appreciate some guidance on this.

The white spot seen on the baby's heart during a prenatal ultrasound, also known as an echogenic intracardiac focus, is a common finding. In most cases, it is a benign and harmless condition that does not cause any issues with the baby's heart function. It is often seen as a normal variant and typically resolves on its own without any treatment. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring to ensure that there are no other associated abnormalities. In most cases, no specific treatment is needed for this finding. If there are any concerns about the baby's heart development, your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests or monitoring. It is always best to discuss any findings or concerns with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and recommendations.

I'm really concerned because post-pregnancy, I'm dealing with a fungal infection and blood in my stool. My doctor prescribed me to look at cream and itaspor for the fungal issue and proctosedyl for the piles. I'm also taking iron and calcium tablets. I'm confused and worried because someone mentioned that I shouldn't use proctosedyl while having a fungal infection. Can I use them both at the same time, or should I be avoiding it?

There is no such indication,better visit Dermatologist and follow their advice
