I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.

The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring

I'm kinda confused about the USG report I got. It mentions that my uterus is normal in size and texture, and no myometrial SOL is seen. The endometrial echo and thickness seem normal too, and the cervix is fine. My ovaries also look normal, with no SOL, and no free fluid in the POD. But the thing is, I just really want to know if this means I could be pregnant or not. Could you help me understand what this report actually says about my pregnancy status? I'm really unsure about what all this means.

Based on the ultrasound report, there is no indication of pregnancy, as there is no mention of a gestational sac, embryo, or fetal heartbeat, and the endometrial thickness of 5.2mm is within the normal range for a non-pregnant woman, so if you suspect pregnancy, consider taking a urine pregnancy test or consulting your gynecologist for further evaluation and confirmation.

I've had a red pimple-like bump inside my vagina for about 10 days and it's gotten really painful. Could this just be a pimple or something more serious like a cyst or tumor? I'm really worried about needing surgery. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to treat it at home? The pain is making me anxious and I'd appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

The most common reason for vaginal pimples is a clogged pore. The skin on your vulva contains pores that can become clogged with bacteria, oil, sweat and dead skin. This triggers an immune response, which creates a pimple. Contact dermatitis: A skin reaction to something that touches your vulva

I recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?

i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.
