I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my doctor recommended Dexorange syrup for me. I'm a bit concerned because I noticed it contains 5.5% alcohol. Is it safe for me to be taking this during pregnancy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dexorange syrup contains iron and other vitamins, but the alcohol content is a concern during pregnancy. While the amount is small, it's best to consult your doctor regarding its use, as alcohol consumption during pregnancy is generally advised against. Your doctor may suggest an alternative iron supplement without alcohol.

View allI'm currently one month pregnant, but I'm not ready for that now and I'm thinking about abortion. I've heard stories about how certain pills might affect my ability to get pregnant later on, and it's got me really worried. Is that true? If not, what are the options? Also, I tried eating papaya and pineapple and even took hot showers, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice?
You can consider using the medicine Mankind's Unwanted Kit for medical abortion. It contains a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol which are effective in terminating early pregnancies. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration of these medications.

I have a large 17 cm fibroid in the fundus area of my uterus, coming from the posterior myometrium. It's causing pain on the left side of my abdomen, but no lower abdominal pain. My USG shows my uterus is 9.4 cm. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help with this?
Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for a large fibroid like yours, though surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) is often considered the most effective long-term solution. If you're looking to avoid surgery, options include medications to manage symptoms or address the fibroid itself
