Question 1

Sure, so I've taken a pregnancy test twice, and both times it came back negative. I've also done an HCG test, which was negative as well. Does this mean it's completely confirmed that I'm not pregnant? I'm just a little worried and would love some clarity.

Question 2

I've been told I need laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid cyst on my left ovary it's currently 3.2x3 cm. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year, and I'm unsure if I should get the surgery before getting pregnant. Is this cyst size big enough to require removal, or can I wait? What are the risks if I delay surgery?

Accepted Answer

You need to be cleared of dermoid cyst before planning for pregnancy, as it may pose some problem later. Laparoscopy is the best option. Via laparoscopy we can remove small as well as huge dermoid cyst also taking precautions against spillage of contents. Operative part headache, you can leave it to Gynaecologist. Just go ahead with the surgery and have a safe pregnancy ahead. Good luck

Question 3

My wife's in her 6th month of pregnancy and she's been having some issues like vomiting, a cold, runny nose, and headaches. We went to a gynecologist who prescribed some meds like azithromycin, Sinarest, and Ascoril D Plus syrup. We even did a COVID test and it was negative. I'm just really concerned if these tablets are safe during pregnancy, especially since she's at 24 weeks now. Are there any possible side effects on the baby from these medications?
