My wife is due to deliver in Kerala, and she's planning to travel on January 8th, 2017. She'll be nine months pregnant by then. We're wondering if it's safe for her to travel by car or train since the journey will take more than 10 hours. What do you think?

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and my latest USG report shows an open internal OS with a cervix of 2.8, a funnel diameter of 6.4mm, and a funnel length of 12.8mm. I'm currently in the hospital, and I'm really worried about how risky this situation might be. Could you please help me understand what those measurements mean and what I should expect?

While your condition does carry some risks, especially for preterm birth, many women with similar conditions go on to have successful pregnancies with the appropriate treatment and monitoring. Your healthcare providers will be the best source of advice to manage this situation and minimize risks to both you and your baby. Stay in close contact with your doctor, and follow their instructions carefully.

My left ovary has something called an enlarged cyst that measures about 27x21mm, and I've been having really heavy stomach pains and bleeding during my periods. The pain's been so bad that I feel like throwing up sometimes. My periods are also delayed. Should I be worried about the cyst or all these symptoms, or is there something particular this might be indicating?

Your symptoms could be related to an ovarian cyst. The delay in periods, heavy stomach pain, and bleeding during periods, along with vomiting, are concerning symptoms. I recommend you consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take pain relief medication such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the stomach pain. The usual dosage for ibuprofen is 200-400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
