  1. Detection of Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS):

    • ABS can often be detected during a prenatal ultrasound, particularly in the second trimester.
    • Ultrasound can show fibrous bands in the amniotic sac that may entangle fetal parts.
  2. Factors Influencing Detection:

    • Timing: Anomaly scans at 18-22 weeks are more likely to identify ABS.
    • Severity and Location: Bands causing visible deformities or restricted movement are easier to detect.
    • Ultrasound Quality: High-resolution imaging and experienced sonographers enhance detection.
  3. Next Steps:

    • If ABS is suspected, further monitoring and consultation with a maternal-fetal medicine expert may be advised.
    • Discuss any concerns or risk factors with your obstetrician for appropriate screening and care.

I had unprotected sex on April 6th and my girlfriend's last period started on March 8th. She's 21 and really doesn't want to be pregnant. It's April 13th now and her period still hasn't started. We're both worried. What should we do?

Firstly what you need to do is quit having sex with her this way. If she doesn't want to be pregnant and you don't want to take any responsibility, then why don't you use condom? Take her to a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.

My CD4 count is 150 and I have a third-degree uterus prolapse. The local gynecologist mentioned surgery might be an option if my CD4 reaches 350. What can I do to improve my CD4 count quickly or are there other treatment options for the prolapse in my current condition

A CD4 count of 150 indicates a severely weakened immune system due to HIV, and a third-degree uterine prolapse requires management. The most effective way to improve your CD4 count is through consistent adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, which can increase your CD4 count by 100-150 cells/mm3 within the first year. For the prolapse, while surgery is an option, non-surgical approaches like pelvic floor exercises, pessary use, or physical therapy may provide relief and improve your condition
