I'm a bit anxious about my pregnancy because I had a miscarriage back in February. Now my doctor has suggested taking Susten SR 400 mg in the early stages of this pregnancy. I'm already taking Folvec, Ecosprin 75, and some vitamins. Is it really safe to take this high dosage of Susten SR right now?

Susten SR 400 mg is a high dose of progesterone, typically recommended for women with a history of miscarriage or preterm labor, and while it's generally considered safe, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring, especially when combined with other medications like Folvac, Ecosprin 75, and vitamins, to minimize potential risks and ensure a healthy pregnancy

I'm in my first trimester and I'm really worried about stretch marks. I've heard about bio oil helping with them, but I'm unsure if it's safe to use right now. Can you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use bio oil at this stage in my pregnancy?

Yes, you can use Bio-Oil for stretch marks during pregnancy. It is safe to use and can help improve the appearance of stretch marks. Apply Bio-Oil twice daily in a circular motion until fully absorbed.

My wife and I got married last month but we haven't been able to have sex because her hymen is too thick. Every time we try, it's really painful for her. We've tried multiple times but it's not working. Is there a specialist who can help remove or break the hymen surgically or through some other procedure?

please consult your gynecologist.
