I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?

My wife has a 123100mm intramural fibroid and we're exploring non-surgical treatment options. Since we recently got married and want to have kids, I'm worried about complications if surgery is needed some say it could cause scarring and infertility. Is uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) a safe option for us? Would it affect future pregnancies?

MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids that destroys fibroids while preserving the normal uterus. Focused high-frequency, high-energy sound waves are used to target the proteins in fibroids, until they are destroyed.
