I'm 22 weeks pregnant and just got my anomaly scan done today. I'm a bit worried about whether everything looks normal. Is a fetal heart rate of 159 bpm okay or is it on the higher side?

Based on typical fetal development, at 22 weeks, normal parameters include a fetal heart rate between 110-160 bpm, so 159 bpm is within the normal range

I'm a bit worried because I had a C-section due to low amniotic fluid, and now I've put on weight, reaching 75 kg. A friend suggested that I try HERBALIFE NUTRITION FOOD, which are these meal replacement shakes for breakfast. I'm curious if this product is really trustworthy and if there might be any side effects I should know about. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to start using this product?

can you regain virginity and does it involve surgery what are the health risks if it does

While hymenoplasty, or hymen repair surgery, can reconstruct the hymen and mimic an intact hymen, it does not technically "regain" virginity in a broader, cultural sense. Virginity is a complex concept influenced by personal, social, and cultural factors, and cannot be fully restored through surgery alone

My sister has two large fibroids in her uterus and doctors have recommended laparoscopy surgery, saying it might be a critical case. We're looking for the best laparoscopy surgeon but we're from Chhattisgarh, so traveling just for consultation is tough. Can you help with an estimated cost and suggest good options?
