Question 1

I'm about six months pregnant and recently felt a strong pain in my lower right back. When I went to the doctor, they did a urine test and told me I have 810 cells of pus in my uterus. Now I'm worried because they also said my baby and placenta are low because of this infection. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Pus cells in the urine indicate an infection, which is common in pregnancy, please be hydrated and

Question 2

I'm really worried because I did a medical abortion back in December last year when I was 4 weeks pregnant. I went through all the bleeding and even passed tissues and clots. Afterward, I got my periods in February and March, and my home pregnancy tests are negative. But I've noticed my stomach is growing, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I don't have any complications or pregnancy symptoms, but ultrasound isn't an option for me right now due to some family issues. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Possible Causes of Spleen Enlargement*

1. *Fatty liver*: Although your fatty liver is grade 1, it might be contributing to the spleen enlargement.
2. *Portal hypertension*: Elevated bilirubin (1.6) and liver enzymes (SGOTSGPT) could indicate portal hypertension, which can cause spleen enlargement.
3. *Other potential causes*: Although your tests were mostly normal, other possible causes of spleen enlargement include lymphoma, leukemia, or a spleen disorder.

*Recommendations*

1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 2-3 months to monitor the spleen size.
2. *Liver health*: Continue with udiliv 300 and vitamin E to support liver health.
3. *Weight management*: Maintain your weight loss efforts, as excess weight can exacerbate fatty liver and spleen enlargement.
4. *Consult a gastroenterologist*: Seek a consultation with a gastroenterologist to further investigate the cause of spleen enlargement and fatty liver.

What is the largest cell in the human body?

Accepted Answer

ovum is the largest cell

I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.
