What does polyhydramnios and macrocephaly mean for my baby?

I was diagnosed with polyhydromnios at my 21 weeks scan with an AFI kmeasuring 22 with single deepest pocket measuring 8.9. My GTT was negative so my doctor suggested me for another high resolution ultrasound after 4 weeks which showed polyhydromnios with AFI 22.6 with single deepest pocket measuring 6.9. The baby head circumference was at 96 percentile which said macrocephaly, depressed nasal bridge and a possibility of costello syndrome with a score of 6/10 as per AI. I am already 26 weeks pregnant now and really worried

Polyhydramnios, which have too much amniotic fluid, can sometimes be associated with conditions such as macrocephaly and depressed nasal bridge in babies. Costello syndrome, although it is rare, maybe a cause of these features. The increased head circumference is also in this regard. At this moment doctors must pay attention to the development of your pregnancy and your baby's development. Stay in close contact with your gynecologist and follow their guidance closely during the treatment.

You should see a gynecologist around 12-14 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, they can check the baby's growth, and heartbeat, and do some important tests. The best way to ensure a healthy pregnancy is to start prenatal care early. If you have any concerns or notice any symptoms like severe vomiting, bleeding, or abdominal pain before that time, please contact the doctor right away.

I have Virginia itching every night most times

Female | 22

Consult a gynecologist or women's health specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Possible causes are infections like yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections, allergic reactions, or hormonal changes. Avoid scratching, maintain good hygiene, and wear loose clothing.

Hello dr my name is dhruvisha Katariya. I am 20 year old. I had sex with my partner a day ago. We also used protection. Now my period date It has come. But my periods have not come.

Female | 20

It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.

Can we take simrose1000 tablet during periods

Female | 39

This tablet is the one that includes a substance that minimizes pain and discomfort. Period pain is the result of the contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Muscle relaxants are used to successfully relieve the pain of the uterus. It should also be remembered that the recommended dosage is strictly to be followed even though you buy it as an over-the-counter medicine. The ingestion of food should be done prior to taking the tablet, as long as there is nothing else you can avoid this way that could cause stomach upset.

Female | 41

It seems you may have le­g muscle pain before your pe­riod. This is common for some people. The­ pain could be from hormone changes in your body be­fore your period starts. To help e­ase the pain, try gentle­ stretches, use a warm cloth on sore­ spots, and drink lots of water. If the pain gets worse­, be sure to tell me­ at your next visit.

I am 24f, got diagnosed with pcod on 2 dec. I was prescribed primolut n twice a day for 3 days and myo insitol and prenatal medicine. I am not pregnant but I haven't gotten my periods it's been 9 days after stopping primolut n and 2 days since stopping other medicine. Why am I still not getting my periods?

Female | 24

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disease that can lead to the abnormality of the cycle. It can be because of hormonal imbalances. Primolut N helps regulate periods, but after stopping, your body may take some time to readjust. The delay may be stressed by varied factors like tension, changes in lifestyle, or individual peculiarity of the body. I am prescribing the patients to suffer a healthy lifestyle in the form of balanced nutrition and leukoplakia.

If patient is on tab itraconazole 200mg od ,if she accidentally become pregnant while taking that tab ,what is the risk to fetus, weather she can continue pregnancy or better to terminate?

Female | 27

Pregnancy is a risk in this case. Itraconazole is categorized as C for pregnancy, which carries the risk of a fetal defect. It is crucial that the patient discuss with her obstetrician or gynecologist as well as her medication provider. In case of complicated pregnancies, a high risk pregnancy specialist should also be consulted. It is not advised to continue the mediation during pregnancy without getting medical advice.

I have completed my periods just 1 week back then i had unprotected sex then i took ipill after 23 hours but today i have started bleeding with cramps like periods

Female | 26

Bleeding with cramps like periods are a common side effect after taking the emergency contraceptive.. often referred to as withdrawal bleeding and is similar to a regular period. There is still a small chance of pregnancy even after taking the pill. Get it confirmed with a test.
