My wife hasn't been pregnant for 2 years after having two abortions, but lately, there's a watery liquid coming from her nipples. We saw a gynecologist who did a prolactin test, and the result was 42.88 ng/ml. The doctor said not to worry and gave some medication. Will this condition go away with just the medicine, or is surgery needed?

The watery discharge from your wife's nipples, also known as galactorrhea, can often be managed with medication, especially if the prolactin level is elevated. If the prolactin level is not too high, medication might not be necessary, but the doctor may prescribe it to regulate the hormone levels. Surgery is typically not required for galactorrhea unless the cause is a pituitary tumor, which is rare

I'm 13 weeks pregnant, and I recently had an ultrasound for NT. The report mentions that the placenta is forming anteriorly, with the lower margin covering the OS, and it states there's grade 0 AFI adequate. Could you recommend a good hospital for treatment and support throughout the rest of my pregnancy? I'm really hoping for a normal delivery. What should I be concerned about or do next?
Feeling your 3-year-old son's heartbeat by placing your hand on his chest can be a normal finding, especially if he's active and healthy. _Possible explanations:_ 1. *Thin chest wall*: Children's chest walls are thinner, making it easier to feel their heartbeat. 2. *Normal cardiac anatomy*: Some people's hearts are more prominent or closer to the chest surface, making the heartbeat more palpable. 3. *Increased cardiac output*: Active children may have a higher cardiac output, making their heartbeat more noticeable. _No cause for concern_: Unless your son is experiencing other symptoms such as: - Shortness of breath - Fatigue - Pale skin - Dizziness - Chest pain
