Why do fibroids cause heavy periods?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.

View allI'm really worried because my wife is 9 weeks pregnant and she's been dealing with a UTI. Her urine culture and sensitivity report confirmed it. Our gynecologist initially prescribed her Niftas 100mg twice a day for 10 days, but after 7 days we did another urine test and it still showed bacteria. The doctor now suggested Uriliser Stafcure cv 250mg and Pantop 40 for another week and then a follow-up urine test. We're both really concerned about the safety of these medicines during pregnancy. She's naturally hesitant to take meds right now and quite scared. Could you please advise us on what we should do?
It is important to treat UTI properly to prevent any complications. The medications prescribed by your gynecologist are considered safe during pregnancy. Uriliser helps to alleviate symptoms of UTI, Stafcure cv 250mg is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria causing the infection, and Pantop 40 helps to reduce stomach acid and prevent any gastric issues that may arise from the antibiotics. It is crucial for your wife to complete the full course of medication as prescribed to effectively clear the infection. UTIs can lead to more serious issues if left untreated, especially during pregnancy. Repeating the urine test after completing the course of these medications will help ensure that the infection has been successfully treated. Encourage your wife to follow the treatment plan as advised by the doctor for the health and safety of both her and the baby.

I'm really worried because I just realized that I've been drinking water from a dark bottle for the past couple of days, and it turns out there are these tiny red worms in it. I'm six months pregnant, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Are these worms harmful or dangerous for me and my baby?
No need to worry, all the red worms will be killed & digested with the acid present in your stomach. It is a protein rich diet

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and dealing with a lot of acidity. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Gelusil syrup for this. Can you advise?
Based on your blood test report: _High PDW (18.9 fl), MPV, and PLCR indicate:_ 1. _Platelet size variation_: High PDW suggests a larger variation in platelet size, which can be seen in conditions like thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis. 2. _Larger platelets_: Elevated MPV indicates larger-than-average platelets, which can be associated with conditions like thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, or inflammation. 3. _Increased platelet activation_: High PLCR suggests increased platelet activation, which can be seen in conditions like thrombotic disorders, inflammation, or infection. _Reason for concern:_ While these results are abnormal, they don't necessarily indicate a serious underlying condition. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any potential health issues.
