Who is at risk for gestational diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

View allI'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I just found out that the yolk sac is measuring 7.8 mm in diameter. I'm a bit worried about what this means for my pregnancy. Is this something I should be concerned about, and is there a chance the yolk sac size can return to normal?
A yolk sac diameter of 7-8 mm at 7 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy is slightly larger than expected, as the normal diameter is usually around 3-5 mm by the sixth week. This could potentially indicate a problem with the pregnancy, such as an early sign of miscarriage. However, it's essential to note that a single ultrasound measurement is not conclusive, and your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the yolk sac size and check for any other signs of a healthy pregnancy. consult gynaecologist

I'm really concerned about my wifes situation. She's got these two chocolate cysts on her right ovary, and our gynecologist advised her to take Lupride Depot 3.75 injections monthly for three months to shrink the cysts and prevent damage to ovarian tissue during surgery, which could lead to infertility. Her periods have been a bit strange since we started this treatment. Her last one was on August 19th, but before that, she got it on August 1st. We gave her the injection on August 5th, within those five days of her cycle starting. But now, she got her period again earlier than expected. I thought it makes sense to take the next injection within five days of this new period, but the gynecologist says it should be given on the same date as last month, like September 5th. I'm a bit confused hereshould we stick to the once-monthly schedule, or go with the period dates?
Kegels and Reverse Kegels for Premature Ejaculation (PE) _Understanding the PC and BC muscles:_ 1. _PC muscle_: Pubococcygeus muscle, responsible for ejaculation and orgasm. 2. _BC muscle_: Bulbocavernosus muscle, helps control ejaculation and supports the penis. _Kegels vs. Reverse Kegels:_ 1. _Kegels_: Contracting and releasing the PC muscle can strengthen it, but may not directly help with PE. Over-toning the PC muscle might even contribute to PE. 2. _Reverse Kegels_: Relaxing the BC muscle can help relax the pelvic floor, potentially delaying ejaculation and improving control. _Recommendation:_ 1. _Try Reverse Kegels_: Focus on relaxing the BC muscle to help manage PE. 2. _Combine with other techniques_: Use Reverse Kegels in conjunction with other methods, such as: - _Start-stop technique_: Stop and start sexual activity to regain control. - _Squeeze technique_: Squeeze the PC muscle to pause ejaculation. - _Breathing exercises_: Practice relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety.

I'm feeling a bit worried about my wife's situation. She's three months pregnant, just at the start of her 14th week. We live in a building where our apartment is on the third floor, and there's no lift. Every weekday, she has to go down 60 steps in the morning to head to the office, and then back up those 60 steps again in the evening. Is it safe for her and the baby to be doing this every day, or could it have any negative effects on her pregnancy? I'd appreciate any advice on this.
yes she can do no worries
