It's good that you are taking steps to recognize things early. Dexamethasone is used to help a baby's lungs develop in case they are born prematurely. Premature means the baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. You don't need to worry about the baby having problems with this medicine if they are not born until after 37 weeks.

Hi...I am 18 years old I m facing the issue of irregular periods like they delay for 4 months with less pain during periods not severe..this also give m pimples and there is hair fall also..

Female | 18

It seems you go through irregular periods, acne, and hair loss. These symptoms can be caused by your hormonal imbalance. Stress, malnutrition, and sleep deprivation can contribute to it, too. Start setting yourself up with some healthy meals, rest adequately, and minimize stress. Let things be or continue to manifest but go see your healthcare provider if they further the deal. Be safe!

I have used both oral contraceptives like norethisterone and homeopathic medicine together for getting my period.is this have any side effect on my body

Female | 21

It is not recommended that a person take multiple medications together without consulting a doctor as it can lead to interactions and unwanted effects. It is advisable to consult a gynecologist in order to obtain the relevant medical care you need. A gynecologist may tell you about the right choices of contraceptive methods as well as the possible side effects.

Can someone who had an abortion bleed for more than a month

Female | 26

Prolonged ble­eding after an abortion is typical. The body ne­eds time to heal prope­rly. However, exce­ssive bleeding, foul odor, or se­vere weakne­ss requires medical atte­ntion promptly. Consulting a gynecologist ensures eve­rything is alright and provides guidance regarding furthe­r steps. Self-care and ade­quate rest during recove­ry are crucial. Bleeding lasting ove­r a month does not necessarily indicate­ complications, but monitoring symptoms carefully is advised.

I am currently on the Evra birth control patches. I put one on once a week for three weeks and on the 4th week I wear none and get my period. However I am on holidays and forgot to bring my patches. I currently have my week 1 patch on and the time has come to change it, what should i do ?

Female | 18

If you have missed more than 24 hours of the change time that was determined for you, then your protection against pregnancy might not be optimal. It is therefore advisable to use an alternative contraceptive method for the next one week and immediately seek medical attention from your obstetrician-gynecologist. They can also tell you what to do further and ensure that you are still safe from pregnancy.
