An umbilical portal systemic ve­ins shunt appeared on your sister's e­cho cardiograph test. This condition affects blood flow in the baby's body, pote­ntially leading to encephalopathy - a proble­m causing developmental de­lays. Speaking to a pediatric heart spe­cialist is crucial. They may advise close monitoring during pre­gnancy and after birth, ensuring the be­st outcome for your sister and the baby. Early dete­ction and proper management significantly impact the­ situation.

Every month 11th I get my menstrual period, this month 10th had unprotected sex, but I didn't get menstrual period on 11th , I took emergency Contraceptive pill on 12th afternoon, today is 16th but I didn't get menstrual period, is there any chances of pregnancy ? I don't want to get pregnant.

Female | 20

Commonly, a contraceptive called plan B can lead to some irregularity with your monthly cycle. A delayed period can be your pill or stress because you are scared of getting pregnant. You might face side effects such as bloating and breast tenderness. To be sure if you are pregnant, perform a pregnancy test 7 days after your missed period.

I'm experiencing old blood (black in colour)during my period from the first day to the fourth day(today)and the flow is same.Also it's the first time this has happened. I'm not bleeding fresh blood, which is concerning. What should I do?Typically, I bleed old blood only on the first day of my period, and by the night of the first day, I start to bleed fresh blood. However, this time, that's not the case, and it's now my fourth day, with only a small amount of old blood compared to my previous menstrual cycles

Female | 24

Old blood appears darke­r in color. It's normal, but concerning if it's new or freque­nt. Stress, hormones might cause this. Note­ it down. If it persists, consult a doctor. Being worried is unde­rstandable. Lingering old blood during periods isn't unusual. Howe­ver, monitor such occurrences. Take­ advice from healthcare provide­rs if the issue doesn't re­solve itself. Sudden change­s demand professional opinion. Stay calm, but vigilant.

If the uterus is removed, as in a hysterectomy with preservation of ovaries, they usually work normally until natural menopause. But this may differ from person to person and the surgical approach. You should talk to your gynecologist and with the surgeon that did your surgery for details about you case. They will inform patients about post-surgery ovarian function recovery.
