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 really worried because I missed my period and took an unwanted kit, but there was no bleeding. So, I went to a doctor who gave me some abortion pills, but still nothing happened. She checked with a home pregnancy kit, which came out negative, and mentioned that bleeding should occur within 15-20 days. It's been a month now, and still no bleeding. What could be going on?

I've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex because there's not enough lubrication, and it makes me really anxious. I'm wondering if using Lox 2 jelly might help. Is it safe, and could it ease the pain I'm feeling? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. _Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_ 1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects. 2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications. _High Total Blood Protein_ 1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as: - Dehydration - Liver or kidney disease - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma) 2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. 2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause. 3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
