Question 1

My wife gave birth to our baby boy nearly two months ago, and just recently, I've noticed she's had a couple of nosebleeds and her right eye looks red. Could this be something serious? Should she see a gynecologist, or is it better to consult an ENT or an eye doctor? Also, is it okay for her to continue breastfeeding? I'm really looking forward to some guidance here.

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit concerned. My wife is in her 13th week of pregnancy and after doing an Usg level 1 scan, the doctor suggested she start taking ecosprin 75mg daily to help with blood thinning because there's high resistance in the right uterine artery. I'm a bit worried and I just want to know if it's actually safe for her to take ecosprin during pregnancy. What could be the risks or benefits?

Accepted Answer

Ecosprin 75mg is safe to take during pregnancy, especially for the indication of blood thinning to improve uterine artery blood flow. It is commonly used to prevent complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. Make sure your wife takes Ecosprin 75mg once a day as prescribed by the doctor.
