My wife gave birth to our baby boy nearly two months ago, and just recently, I've noticed she's had a couple of nosebleeds and her right eye looks red. Could this be something serious? Should she see a gynecologist, or is it better to consult an ENT or an eye doctor? Also, is it okay for her to continue breastfeeding? I'm really looking forward to some guidance here.

View allI've been wondering if it's really necessary to go through with the double marker and NT scan tests. Are these tests truly important for my pregnancy, or is it more of a way to get us to spend money? I'm feeling a bit worried about whether skipping these could impact me or my baby. What do you think?
Double marker and NT scan tests are important screening tests recommended during pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome in the fetus. These tests provide valuable information to the healthcare provider to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby. It is not just about money business, but rather about ensuring a healthy pregnancy and making informed decisions. It is advisable to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding these tests for proper prenatal care.

I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?
