I'm currently pregnant and have been using Practin syrup occasionally, like once or twice a month, just to help me sleep better when I'm having a hard time. I'm generally healthy and don't take any other meds. Should I be worried about any risks of using Practin during pregnancy? Just wondering if it's safe or if I should be looking for alternatives.

I just got scanned for infertility and the doctor found a cyst saying I need laparoscopic surgery right away because it's preventing pregnancy. Can you explain why this cyst is stopping me from getting pregnant and how urgent the surgery really is? Also, could you check the images I uploaded to see if surgery is the only option?

laparoscopic excision of the cyst is advised to the pt,gynaec review.

My wife's just entered her first month of pregnancy and we're curious about whether it's safe for us to have sex. If it is okay, could you please suggest what positions might be safe during this time?

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy! In the first month, it's generally safe to have sex unless advised otherwise by her doctor. Comfortable positions, like side-lying or her on top, can help avoid pressure on the abdomen. Always communicate with your wife and check with her doctor for any specific concerns.
