View allI'm 31 and have multiple fibroids with the largest being 8cm. My doctor is recommending surgery but I really want to avoid it. Are there any effective Ayurvedic or Siddha treatments in Chennai that can help dissolve uterine fibroids naturally?
While Ayurvedic and Siddha medicines may offer symptom relief and potentially help with shrinking fibroids, they are unlikely to completely dissolve large fibroids like the one you have (8cm). For such cases, surgical options like myomectomy or hysterectomy are often necessary. However, some Ayurvedic and Siddha treatments might help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the size of smaller fibroids

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and just had a growth scan that showed my amniotic fluid index is 22.2 cm. The doctor mentioned it's a bit high and suggested I get some blood tests done, like fbs and ppbs. They also said the baby's abdominal circumference is slightly above average. Does this mean I might have gestational diabetes? And what kind of diet should I be considering right now? Everything else with the baby's weight seems normal, so I'm just trying to understand what all this means.
An Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of 22.2 cm is indeed high, and the slightly above-average abdominal circumference may indicate fetal macrosomia; however, gestational diabetes diagnosis requires confirmation through FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) and PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) tests; if diagnosed, follow a balanced diet with complex carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, and minimal sugar intake, and consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
