Question 2

I'm about four months pregnant and my gynaecologist started me on cutenox injections back in my second month. Lately, I'm noticing that my thigh muscles are getting hard from the injections and it takes a while for the spots to heal. One time, after ...

Accepted Answer

The prolonged use of Cutenox injections, containing low molecular weight heparin, for 9 months may increase the risk of osteoporosis, bleeding complications, and thrombocytopenia, and although generally considered safe during pregnancy, the frequent bleeding episodes and muscle hardening you're experiencing warrant a reevaluation of your treatment plan with your gynaecologist to weigh the benefits and risks and consider alternative options, as abruptly stopping the injections may not harm the baby, but a gradual transition or adjustment under medical guidance is recommended.

Question 3

I'm kinda worried because I've noticed some white discharge coming from my vagina and a line of black hair growing from my abdomen downwards. Im wondering, can just kissing on the lips lead to pregnancy?

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and Elevated Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

_UTI Treatment_

1. _Antibiotics_: Consult a doctor to prescribe antibiotics, such as:
    - Nitrofurantoin
    - Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
    - Cephalexin
2. _Urinary analgesics_: Pain relievers like phenazopyridine can help alleviate discomfort.

_Elevated ALP (250)_

1. _Liver function tests_: Schedule a follow-up test to monitor ALP levels and assess liver function.
2. _Bone-related conditions_: Elevated ALP can also indicate bone-related conditions, such as osteomalacia or Paget's disease.

_Additional Recommendations_

1. _Stay hydrated_: Encourage your wife to drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria.
2. _Urinary habits_: Suggest good urinary habits, such as:
    - Urinating when the need arises
    - Avoiding holding urine for long periods
    - Wiping correctly (front to back)
3. _Follow-up appointments_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your wife's doctor to monitor UTI treatment and ALP levels.

Question 4

I'm curious about whether PCOS could be causing my periods to be so light. I used to have normal bleeding for about five days, but now its only lasting two. What could be causing this change?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PCOS can cause scanty periods. Reduced estrogen levels, thinning of the uterine lining, and increased androgen levels can contribute to lighter, shorter periods.

Other possible causes include:

- Hormonal imbalance
- Ovulation issues
- Insulin resistance
- Stress
- Weight changes

Accepted Answer

Masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.

Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities.
