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?

View allI had a bartholin cyst marsupialization done a month ago but there's still mild swelling and pain at the surgery site. It hurts when I sit down. How long until I fully recover?

Can homeopathy help with fibroadenoma since allopathy says there are no medicines and surgery is the only option? I don't want surgery, but my fibroadenoma is small and sometimes painful are there other treatments that work 100% or should I just go for surgery?
Cryoablation: The doctor uses an ultrasound machine to see your fibroadenoma. They'll hold a tool called a cryoprobe against your skin. It uses a gas to freeze the nearby tissue, which destroys the fibroadenoma without surgery

I'm living in the Czech Republic and recently had a laparoscopic myomectomy. It was on February 23rd, and I just got home from the hospital after 5 days. The surgery was a bit tricky because the fibroid was quite large, about 7cm, and I ended up losing 1000ml of blood. The surgeon mentioned I should wait about a year before trying to conceive so that the scar has enough time to heal. I'm curious about what I should expect post-surgery, specifically concerning my menstrual cycle. Also, my belly seems a little swollen, almost like I've gained weight, and I'm puzzled about what's causing it. Is it okay for me to start doing yoga? And should I continue taking Folic acid tablets? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
