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.

I had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged uterus with a large subserosal fibroid measuring 148.8 cm in the right lateral wall and areas of early degeneration, plus another subserosal fibroid in the anterior wall measuring 1.72.2 cm. My ET is 8mm. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others suggested trying to conceive first. I don't have children yet and I'm really confused about what to do should I prioritize surgery or try to get pregnant with these fibroids?

My HSG test showed bilateral salpingitis with ampullary block. If I opt for laparoscopic surgery to clear the blocks, what are the chances of success? I'm really worried about whether this will help improve my fertility.
Laparoscopic surgery to unblock blocked fallopian tubes, especially in cases of bilateral salpingitis with ampullary block, can significantly improve fertility, but the success rate isn't guaranteed. It's crucial to understand the factors that influence the success of such surgery and consider alternative treatments like IVF if needed
