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.

Female | 38
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 saw some blood clots while I was about to do intercouse (protected) and thought that it was period but after that I realized I have still not got the period but blood clots are still there so I am worried whether I'll get my period this month the date is 11th or 10th of this month or should I go for a pregnancy test
Female | 20
It's worrying when you see blood clots without your period. Clots can occur due to shifting hormones, stress, or minor injuries. Track your symptoms carefully and note how long until your flow starts. If worried, take a pregnancy test for clarity. You can also visit a gynecologist for clarity.

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.

I took unwanted 72 on 15 April and Bleeded after 6 days of unwanted 72 for 3 days and then again bleeded after 10 days of first bleeding. But now I am having tiredness , dizziness, sleepy mood . Am I having side effects of this pill or being pregnant . When should I have the pregnancy test ? My periods were going to come during the first bleeding only
Female | 17
These symptoms could be side effects of the pill, but if you are concerned about pregnancy, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test. Wait at least two to three weeks after unprotected intercourse or the expected date of your period for accurate results. If you have further concerns consult a gynecologist for advice.

pain in legs muscles specifically sbeofre periods time increase in pain
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 25 days late on my period and had period-like pain last week and spotting which has since gone away. I was meant to menstruate on 1 August at had intercourse on 21 and 20 July. I took 4 pregnancy tests. 1 Dischem, 1, which was negative, and 3 Clear Blue, one Digital one and two others, I think one early detection and another type. All were negative. But I'm still late. Do you have pills to induce period?
Female | 30
It is common for women to have a late period at some point. Stress, weight fluctuations, or hormonal disorders can be the reasons for this. It's good to know that you have already had pregnancy tests. The chance of being pregnant is low if all are negative. You can try to manage stress, eat healthy, stay active, and get enough sleep. If your period still doesn't come, it's best to consult a gynecologist to know the exact cause of the problem.

7th day of periods 7th November I took unwanted 72 pills after that on 15th November withdrawal bleeding happened for the first 2 days, not too heavy the medium range may happen then it stopped for a while after that the bleeding started back. Then again on 28th November I had bleeding periods which means that I am still having periods or will it be okay if I have periods so soon... I started bleeding on 28th, I felt withdrawal bleeding but my periods started happening so soon when I took my pills on 7th November, my periods started on 28th November. Today is 5th day of my periods, I'm having cramps.
Female | 20
Taking emergency contraceptive pills can affect your menstrual cycle. Your withdrawal bleeding on 15th November was expected. The bleeding on 28th November may be your normal period. It is okay to have periods so soon. Cramps are common during periods. If you continue to experience irregular bleeding or have concerns, consult a gynecologist for advice.

I'm facing vaginal inflammation after peeing I'm 25 years old how can i cure it
Female | 25
The inflammation in your vaginal area after peeing has some possible reasons. A yeast infection or urinary tract infection (UTI) could cause it. If you feel a burning sensation when peeing or have unusual discharge, it may be a UTI. Water and cranberry juice might help with UTIs. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can treat yeast infections. Wear cotton underwear and avoid perfumed products for good hygiene. See a gynecologist if symptoms persist or worsen.

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 took norethisterone to stop period. However my period came and was heavy on 3rd and 4th day. Today I am on 7th day and when I insert tissue in my vagina I still bleed. What can be happening.
Female | 29
The possibility might be that the norethisterone simply has not worked in this case or there is a certain medical condition that leads to the heavy bleeding. Talk to your gynecologist to seek a comprehensive examination

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.

Female | 24
The risk of pregnancy depends on factors such as when the intercourse happens and when you release the egg. But taking two doses of Plan B consecutively is not advisable. Please consult a gynecologist if you have any further concern

I am 25 years old Female having lower abdominal pain and cramps
Female | 25
If you’re having your period, the pain might be related to that. Try drinking something warm like tea or coffee (without too much caffeine), using a hot water bottle on your tummy, or taking some over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen – these can all help make things more bearable until it stops hurting so much each month. However, if it becomes too severe or goes on for ages, seek consultation from a gynecologist.

I have a cyst on the bartholin gland i m 17 it s in the size of marble
Female | 17
You might have a cyst on the Bartholin gland, but that's not unusual. This small marble-like bump can happen, especially at your age. It may swell, hurt, or feel uncomfortable down there. Cysts form when the gland's duct gets blocked, letting fluid build-up. For small cysts without issues, warm baths and good hygiene may help. But if it gets bigger, painful, or affects daily life, see a gynecologist. They could drain the cyst or suggest other treatments for relief.

Female | 25
If you have exceeded the due date since your last visit with an obstetrician or midwife, you better call. They do tests to check on you and your baby's health, and options to induce labor if the case comes. I suggest that you see an Obstetrician or Gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.
