Who is at risk for gestational diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 because there's minimal free fluid in my pelvis, and I've been having severe stomach pain. I was admitted to a nearby hospital, and the MD observed me, but my condition hasn't improved. Can anyone suggest what the underlying issue might be, or if there's a specific direction we should explore for better treatment?
Hydrocele can be uncomfortable. Since you're not experiencing pain, you can try the following non-surgical methods to reduce the size: 1. *Elevation*: Elevate your scrotum while sitting or lying down to reduce swelling. 2. *Supportive underwear*: Wear supportive, loose-fitting underwear to reduce pressure. 3. *Exercise*: Regular exercise, like cycling or swimming, can help improve circulation and reduce swelling. 4. *Dietary changes*: Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to improve overall health. If these methods don't help, consider consulting a urologist for surgical options, such as hydrocelectomy.

I'm kind of worried because my wife's pregnancy test at home came back positive, and when we got a urine HCG test done at the lab, it was positive too. The thing is, she's about 5 weeks along, but the ultrasound didn't show a gestational sac. Does this mean she's actually pregnant, or should we be concerned?
Repeat the scan at 7 weeks of gestation and observe,follow your Obstetricians advice.
