Question 1

My wife has an 18x17 mm submucous fibroid in the fundus region of her uterus, and it's indenting the endometrium. She's had four miscarriages in a row, all with bleeding between 6 to 12 weeks. Could this fibroid be causing the miscarriages? Would she need surgery to remove it?

Accepted Answer

A submucous fibroid can cause miscarriages and surgery like hysteroscopic myomectomy may be needed to improve pregnancy chances.

Question 2

I'm pregnant and experiencing a lot of vomiting. I've tried taking NVtab and NOSIC, but they don't seem to help. What else can I do to control the vomiting? Please advise.

Accepted Answer

A vaginal tear or hymenal tear can cause concern.

Possible causes:

- Physical trauma during sex
- Insufficient lubrication

Symptoms you've described:

- Mild pain when stretching legs
- Trace of blood after a day

Precautions:

- Keep the area clean
- Avoid strenuous activities
- Apply warm compresses for comfort

Consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist for a proper evaluation and guidance to rule out any infections or complications.

Question 3

I'm 34 now and will be 35 when I give birth. I just had my 20-week anomaly scan and two soft markers showed up: Echogenic Intracardiac Focus and Bilateral Renal Pelvis measuring 4.1mm and 3.5mm. I went for a fetal echo and thankfully they didnt find any other issues. I also did the NIPT and it came back low risk. Im kinda worried and want to understand more about the Bilateral Renal Pelvis. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?

Accepted Answer

Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF): Likely a benign finding, not a concern especially with the normal fetal echo and low-risk NIPT.
Bilateral Renal Pelvis Dilatation: Mild dilation (4.1mm and 3.5mm) is usually not a major concern and often resolves after birth.
Continue with your routine prenatal care and follow-up ultrasounds if recommended by your doctor.
Given the low-risk NIPT result and the absence of other abnormalities, the pregnancy seems to be progressing normally.
If youre feeling uncertain, dont hesitate to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider
