  • Should I go to every appointment when pregnant?

    During pregnancy, if it’s a normal pregnancy and no risk factors then it is recommended that you are seen every month until you are 30 weeks. Then you should be seen every 2 weeks and then every week starting 35-36 weeks. You need to understand that complications can arise any time in pregnancy even with no other risk factors and your visits are to screen for the complications like diabetes, pre eclampsia etc Rarely you might develop pre eclampsia earlier in your pregnancy and if not picked up early could lead to fetal and maternal complications and death. Most OBGy’s drop patient’s care if they miss 2 or more appointments since they do want to assume responsibility for a non compliant patient. If you are asked to come back every 2 weeks earlier in pregnancy, discuss the reasons for frequent visits. It is very important to communicate with your doctor, they always are looking out for you and your baby. Good luck and stay healthy! READ MORE

  • Does birth control make you gain weight?

    No, birth control pills by themselves do not cause weight gain. They do cause increased appetite sometimes. Most common reason for weight gain is eating more calories than required. If you don’t watch what you eat and do not exercise, then you will gain weight. Stay healthy!! READ MORE

  • How long is a woman's menstrual cycle?

    4-7 days is normal for the length of a woman’s period. 28 days plus or minus 7 days is normal for cycle length. Your girlfriend needs to see a OBGyn. Take care! READ MORE

  • Does gestational diabetes make me a high risk pregnancy?

    Gestational diabetes on insulin or oral medications during pregnancy is considered high risk. Baby needs to be monitored with non stress test starting 32 weeks. As long as the diabetes is well controlled, size of the baby wouldn’t be too big and you wouldn’t need a C-section. Of course there are many other reasons you might need a C-section when you are in labor. Most diabetics deliver near term but pre-term delivery is a risk. Make sure your blood sugars are well controlled with diet and/or medications to minimize the risks. Take care! READ MORE

  • How would I know if I'm allergic to spermicide?

    Stop using the condoms with spermicide at least for 1-2 weeks, and the itching and irritation after intercourse should go away. If it still persists, see your OBGyn to rule out any other infection. Take care! READ MORE

  • How effective is the diaphragm as birth control?

    It is effective for upto 88% even if used not so perfectly. That means 12 out of 100 women who use the diaphragm get pregnant. 12% is a very risk to take if you do not want to get pregnant. Discuss this with your OB-GYN before you decide on it. READ MORE

  • Should I consider massage therapy?

    You could try a chair massage if that helps. Lying down flat on your back is difficult in the third trimester and will get worse as you go further towards your due date. Also, you could pass out if you lie due to compression of huge blood vessels on your right side. The things which might help you with your back pain include: -Heat packs -Tylenol, if needed, sometimes it helps -Stretching exercises -Prenatal yoga -Staying active in general, 15-minute walks 3-4 times a day Good luck with your delivery! READ MORE

  • When is an epidural used?

    Epidural anesthesia is indicated when your pain gets unbearable usually in active labor (4-5 cm) or even prior to that. There is no reason not to take an epidural since side effects are minimal to negligible in the hands of an anesthesiologist who does 8-10 of these every day. Good luck! READ MORE

  • Does an OB-GYN also carry out tests to detect cancer in women?

    Yes, OBGYN’s diagnose all female cancers- Breast, uterine, cervix, ovarian, skin cancers involving vulvar area, sometimes anal cancer. They are then referred to sub speciality of OBGYN Called Gynecologic Oncologists for further care. These are doctors who are OBGYN’s but specialized in Oncology surgeries.

  • I recently experienced an ectopic pregnancy. How did this happen?

    Ectopic pregnancy usually occurs due to damage to the cilia (little hair-like structures) in the fallopian tube. These cilia help move the embryo from the tube after fertilization to the uterus for implantation. Cilia could be damaged due to infections, sometimes unknown infections if they resolve by themselves. You can definitely get pregnant again, but you are at increased risk for having an ectopic pregnancy. Please see your OB/Gyn and discuss precautions for your next pregnancy. Good luck! READ MORE

    Age 35 and above is considered advanced maternal age and there will be increased risk for miscarriages and increased risk for chromosomal anomalies in the fetus.
