Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

I'm really worried about my 15-year-old daughter who has PCOS. She's been on Krimson 35 and Aldactone for 7 months and took Isotret 20 for 3 months. Her periods have become regular, and her pimples have cleared up, but she still has scars. I'm wondering if she can stop her medication now. If we stop Krimson 35, will her periods become irregular again?

I'm 21 and currently a B cup are there any safe natural ways or medicines from ayurveda, homeopathy, or allopathy to increase breast size without surgery? Really hesitant about surgical options, so looking for alternatives.

While natural methods and some supplements may enhance breast appearance or muscle tone, they rarely, if ever, lead to significant breast size increase. Breast size is primarily determined by genetics and hormones, and these factors are difficult to alter without medical intervention
