Question 1

I have attached my report. It mentions notching in uterine arteries, and a resistance index of 0.59 on the left side and 0.51 on the right side. Could you please explain what notching in the uterine arteries is, and whether these values are normal?

Question 2

I am 35 years old and weigh 53 kg. I had a miscarriage this year in June at 5 weeks of pregnancy. I want to plan for another pregnancy and prepare my body for a healthy conception. My recent blood reports are all normal, and my hemoglobin is 11.1 g/dL. Could you please advise on steps, supplements, or lifestyle changes to improve my chances of a healthy pregnancy?

Question 3

I am 18 weeks pregnant. The placenta is on the right lateral wall of the uterus and is low lying, with the edge covering the internal os. I have bleeding every day (one teaspoon maximum) and sometimes a little watery discharge without touching undergarments. I am regularly consulting with my doctor, who suggests bed rest and prescribed medicines. My hemoglobin was 10.8 as per the 13 week test report. Can continuous bleeding affect the mother and baby? Is this condition curable?

Hello Doctors, I am currently 16 weeks pregnant, and my recent blood test shows an RDW of 15.30 percent. I have also attached my HPLC report for your review. I would like to know if I might be a silent carrier of Thalassemia and whether my report appears normal.

An RDW of 15.3 percent is mildly raised. If HPLC shows abnormal haemoglobin types like HbA2 greater than 3.5 percent, thalassemia trait is possible. Final call depends on HPLC values.
