Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Your fallopian tubes are a pair of hollow, muscular ducts located between your ovaries and your uterus. Each fallopian tube is a channel between your ovaries, where your body makes eggs, and your uterus, where a fertilized egg can develop into a fetus.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my hcg levels are going up really slowly. They only went from 4300 to 4500 over four days. I'm feeling worried about whether this could mean my pregnancy might not be viable. Should I consider taking hcg injections to help?

Delayed Periods After Dengue _Possible Causes_ 1. _Hormonal imbalance_: Dengue can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods. 2. _Stress and recovery_: Your body may still be recovering from the dengue infection, causing a delay in your menstrual cycle. 3. _Other factors_: Other factors like weight loss, changes in appetite, or stress can also contribute to delayed periods. _Normal Menstrual Cycle Disruption_ 1. _Common occurrence_: It's common for women to experience changes in their menstrual cycle after a severe illness like dengue. 2. _Temporary disruption_: This disruption is usually temporary, and your menstrual cycle should return to normal once your body has fully recovered. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Wait and monitor_: Wait for another week or two to see if your periods resume on their own. 2. _Consult a gynecologist_: If your periods don't resume after 6-8 weeks, consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions. 3. _Perform a pregnancy test_: Take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause of delayed periods. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe abdominal pain_: If you experience severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding. 2. _Prolonged delay_: If your periods are delayed for more than 8 weeks. 3. _Other symptoms_: If you experience other symptoms like fever, vomiting, or dizziness.

However, some Ayurvedic and Siddha treatments might help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the size of smaller fibroids
