I'm 5 months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take Lupiheme tablets every other day. I've been reading online that it might not be safe. Can anyone help me figure out if I should be taking this? I'm a bit unsure about what to do.

My wife is 22 and she's noticed that her right breast seems bigger than the left one. Last year, she checked with a physician about this, and they said it was all normal and nothing to worry about. But the feeling persists. Could you help us understand what might be going on and if there's anything we should do?

Surgeon opinion is advised to the pt.

I'm really concerned because post-pregnancy, I'm dealing with a fungal infection and blood in my stool. My doctor prescribed me to look at cream and itaspor for the fungal issue and proctosedyl for the piles. I'm also taking iron and calcium tablets. I'm confused and worried because someone mentioned that I shouldn't use proctosedyl while having a fungal infection. Can I use them both at the same time, or should I be avoiding it?

There is no such indication,better visit Dermatologist and follow their advice
