Pregnancy Test:

View allI'm trying to understand what Susten 300 tablets are used for. Are they meant to help with getting my period on track or are they more for supporting pregnancy? I'm a bit confused about this and would really appreciate some guidance.
Susten 300mg contains progesterone, which is a endogenous hormone in the human body. It can be used in various conditions, including to support early pregnancy or for the treatment of dysmenorrhea (irregular periods).

I've got this really big fibroid on the back wall of my uterus and my periods are normal, but the fibroid is like 13 cm. Should I consider getting surgery for it, or would trying homeopathic medicines be better? I'm really unsure about what to do and would love some advice.
For a fibroid of that size, surgical intervention is usually recommended to address the issue effectively. Homeopathic medicines may not be able to shrink a fibroid of that size significantly. I would advise consulting with a gynecologist to discuss the surgical options available, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, based on your individual case.

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took 2 Zandu Parad tablets a few weeks ago, and I'm currently one month pregnant. The tablets have mercury 30 mg and Khatika 60 mg in them. They're usually used in households for things like protecting grains. I haven't had any symptoms or felt unwell, but I'm concerned about any potential effects on my baby. Could there be any risks or side effects from this? Would love some advice on what I should do next.
if you have consumed it 20 days ago and now pregnant since one month(ie your last periods was around 12th of April I guess) then nothing to worry much as baby wasn't formed yet 20 days ago.. and moreover you consumed safe limit of mercury so only you dint have any symptoms.. if you still have worry then your usg at 10-12weeks wil tel if baby is normal or not as by then all parts of you baby will be formed well..if your stil anxious then consult your physician and obstetrician once..
