It is best to avoid avoidable drugs until at least the 10th week from your last period has passed. Only folic acid is completely safe before then.

You can commence others after your first trimester.

Bed Rest. Complete rest. Then go to hospital asap. There, you get necessary tests and ultrasound, continue bedrest under mild sedation.

All the best.

HSG is painful to some women and not for others. The degree of pain varies too. If you normally feel pain during pelvic exam, you are sure to feel pain during HSG. They may give you a painkiller injection before the procedure to reduce pain, and a sedative to reduce anxiety.

There is a possibility of infection, but it is uncommon. You may be given a broadspectrum antibioctic oncr, just before the procedure.
thanks a lot Dr,actually am supposed to go for theHSG is used to check for the patency of your tubes. If you are ttc or have had miscarriages, and the HSG has been advised, you have to do it.

Just try and be less anxious. In less than 10 minutes, you would have finished.

All the best

Thanks for your response. Just back from the hospital where a scan was carried out and the report said i had a blighted ovum. Instead of a 10week old pregnancy scan showed 6weeks and no fetal activity. I was told to come back for an evacuation this evening but presently i m in so much pain cos the bleeding has intensified. Pls is it advisable to do the evacuation or wait for the foetus to expel itself? Thank you

HSG is supposed to be done right after the menstruation before ovulation. Usually day 6 of the MC is good. If you are ovulating, you should wait till your next cycle.

Sorry about that.

If there is no viable fetus and you are bleeding, you should have the evacuation.

Augmentin tablet is relatively safe to use at 7 months pregnancy. No problem, so long as its use is indicated.

Clotrimazole persary is also safe for the treatment of candidiasis in pregnancy.

All the best.

Hi,

Commonest cause of discharge from the breast is abnormally high prolactin hormone (hyperprolactinaemia).

Apart from breast discharge, it can also cause menstrual disturbances and lack of ovulation.

You can comfirm by doing a bood test to measure your prolactin hormone. You should also have a breast exam to exclude the less likely causes of a breast discharge.

High prolactin is treatable, and curable when the cause is known.

All the best.

Many thanks doc. I saw two doc last year ;one a gynae,and the oda was d one doin breast and cervical cancer screening. If der is a way I can get you in private I.e send u an email were I can explain more. I'm a bit bothered and don't want to pour out everytin here

1. You should repeat the test to see if you are still positive. If positive, your baby should receive hepatitis B immunoglobulin at birth to prevent mother-to-child transmission.

2. I don't know of any brand of multivitamins safe for use in pregnancy. The most important ones are iron, calcium, folic acid and vitamin c. They are available as individual tablets.

3.You can take it now.

Sperm coming out after sex is not abnormal.

Breast tenderness 2 weeks to menses could be a sign of ovulation.

Has ur dh done his semen analysis?

The most important thing is the pelvic bones.

Both short and tall ladies can have a problem of inadequate pelvis that would make vaginal birth difficult or impossible.

Unless the shortness you mean is pathological (dwarfism), height alone does not determine the success of vaginal delivery.

Tanks a lot doc.dat should b our next step eventhough he believes he is kk.can u pls suggest any gud gynacologist in benin cos am new here and dnt really kno much of dem

You really don't have to make an appointment with a gynaecologist before a Semen Analysis need be done.

You are welcome. Public tertiary hospitals in Lagos such as LUTH offer standard clinical care. Private hospitals such as Reddinton, Eko and Lagoon are also reputable.

There are many others too.

More importantly, you should register for your antenatal at a hospital where you can easily consult a consultant Obstetrician.

Your dh should be tested too. If he is positive, he will be managed according to the protocol for managing hepatitis B infection.
