question:Hi doctor iam 9 weeks pregnant and i have past history of gasteritis and haematemsis and i was on ppi but stopped it after pregnancy but nw iam so sick of nausea and vomiting every day and iam a medical student and have to study what is the most safe drug plz
answer:Hi, I understand your concern. Nausea & vomiting in pregnancy can be easily controlled with- - Rest, Eating dry eatables ( bickuites, dry fruits ) very slowly , before you get up in morning. - Taking light easily digestible food small servings more frequently. -taking sips of juices/ coconut water/ soups/ cold milk . - avoid psychological stress/ have positive mentality. * medications containing Doxylamine succinate ( doxinate )at bed time help. * excessive vimiting needs Iv infusion. * Your past history of gastritis demands avoiding spicy, oily heavy to digest food . take bland food . cold milk is mostly digested well. Plain Proton pump inhibitors like Ranitidine can be taken for gastritis. Thanks.
question:I am about 6 1/2 weeks pregnant, i havent been for my first prenatal visit yet. my fiance and i had sex and there was some blood, it didnt flow but it was on his penis and when i used the bathroom and whiped there was blood....help?!
answer:Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the blood on penis might be bleeding from cervix.Usually the intercourse is not advisable during 1 st trimester of pregnancy.In pregnancy the cervix will become soft and vascular and easily bleed during intercourse.So abstain from intercourse.Dont worry.It will subside.But if there is any irregular spotting then you might need to consultation.Best regards..
question:i had taken ipill on 11th day of my cycle as my husband ejaculated accidently just at outer part of vagina and i had immideately cleaned it up with tissue. but from last 4-5 days i have pain in lower abdomen,legs,but no bleeding and any kind of discharge. am i pregnant. my cycle date is on15 oct.
answer:Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are very rare in your case.Because the ejaculation did not occur inside the vagina and ipill was also taken.Ipill is effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.The first sign of pregnancy is missed period.All other symptoms like nausea,vomiting,increased urination start 2 weeks after missed period.So it is too early to face any pregnancy symptoms.The pain abdomen and legs might be due to some other cause.So relax.Dont worry.The period might also get delayed due to ipill.Best regards...
question:Hello sir My wife have all symptoms of pregnancy from one and half month like headache, backpain, body pain, pain in legs, eating more food, feeling hungry after 2 to 3 hours after meal,breathing problem after eating food, Pain in stomach but when she take home pregnancy test and gravindex test negative result but my wife still have pregnancy symptoms plus now days she feel unconscious for few minutes What is the problem
answer:Hi, I understand your concern. Delayed periods & +ve blood pregnancy test are earliet st signs of pregnancy. Pregnancy test is the confirmation test for pregnancy.. irrespective of all other pregnancy like symptoms. The home pregnancy test is reliable when done after 8 days minimum delay in periods.If it was done earlier in your wife's case.. please repeat it after i week.That will confirm the pregnancy status. She must be getting unconscious because of psychological stress following pregnancy test. She needs counseling & treatment for any problem in conception. thanks.
question:Hello Doctor! I am on 10 weeks of my pregnancy. I am a Beta Thalassemia career/ trait and my husband is E trait/ career. Is there any test in India other than CVS? We want to be sure that the unborn baby is not a Thalassemia Major. Thank you! Christine
answer:HI, I understand your concern. Apart from CVS , Thalassemia can be diagnosed by fetal blood analysis ( after 18 weeks ) by using capillary electrophoresis method. It is mostly available in most Metropolitan cities in India, Thanks.
question:Hello, my period is about 20 days late. I took a pregnancy test and it said negative but I m having really bad chest pains when I breathe and cough in the middle of my chest. I feel nauseous in the mornings and randomly get headaches. I know I m not pregnant because I ve been actually inactive for a little over a month. Do you have any ideas why I m having these symptoms?
answer:Hi, I understand your concern. Head & cough are not signs of pregnancy , but nausea supported by + ve pregnancy test, is one of early sign of pregnancy. H P T has reliable results after 8 days of delay in periods. - your delay of periods can be attributed to the breathing trouble ( any illness can lead to hormonal disturbance & irregularity in periods. ) Thanks.
