  • Does metformin increase my chances of getting pregnant?

    Metformin is used to help cells in the body utilize glucose better in women with infertility due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). There are only a few trials which show that Metformin alone helps with ovulation induction and in turn helps you to get pregnant. The caveat is that the patients should have a normal BMI for Metformin to work. So, weight loss works better than Metformin in helping regulate menstrual cycles in PCOS patients. The best combination to get pregnant in PCOS patients is weight loss, Metformin, and Clomid. Please discuss with your OBGyn about this. Good luck! READ MORE

  • I had two periods cycles in one month. What could be wrong?

    It could be hormonal. If the frequent period cycle persists, please see your OBGyn. You might need some blood tests, pelvic exam, and/or pelvic ultrasound to look for other causes. Take care! READ MORE

  • Can vaginal washes cause yeast infections?

    A douche flushes water up into the vagina, clearing out vaginal secretions. Some women use a douche to "clean" the vagina, but using a douche can disrupt the normal vaginal bacteria and cause infections, so it is not recommended that you use one. Keeping the perineal area between the vagina and anus clean is important. Good perineal hygiene is necessary by washing that area at least once a day with shower or bath routines. The vagina is designed to keep itself clean with the help of natural secretions (discharge). "Vaginal discharge is not 'always a bad sign.' There is a myth that copious clear or white discharge is associated with vaginal infections. Changes in the amount of discharge can be 100% hormonal – in other words, linked to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or menopause." Healthy discharge does not have a strong smell (it has a natural odor) or color. You may feel an uncomfortable wetness, but you should not have any itching or soreness around your vagina.Seek medical help if you notice the above. Generally, good vaginal health is maintained by making sure you're in good general health. This includes a healthy diet and exercise. Normal exercise helps maintain good vaginal function, as walking and running help the pelvic floor to tone up and ensure good general health. Hope this helps, take care! READ MORE

  • How can I manage my mood swings during pregnancy?

    Pregnancy can cause mild mood swings. If they are extreme as you mentioned, you need to talk to your OBGyn and you have to be screened for depression or other mood disorders. Depending on your diagnosis, there are some medications which can be used during pregnancy. You could also be referred to a therapist or psychiatrist if needed. Hope you feel better. Take care! READ MORE

  • What is the recommended dose of folic acid I should take when planning to conceive?

    800 mcg to 1 mg of folic acid is recommended, start your folic acid atleast 3 months before you try to get pregnant to get the maximum benefits from it. Good luck and take care! READ MORE

  • My daughter got her first period earlier than normal. Can this have an impact on her health?

    Puberty occurs between the ages of 10-15 years for girls. Average age for puberty in girls is 12 years. There is no reason for concern with your daughter, her age of puberty is at the lower end of normal and that is fine. There are no future health risks associated with having first menstrual cycle at age 10. Best, Dr. Prasad READ MORE

  • Does I-pill affect the period cycle?

    Normally you should have a period within 2-3 days after you take emergency contraception. If you do not have a period, repeat a pregnancy test in 2 weeks again. If pregnancy test is still negative, there could be other hormonal problems, see your OBGyn to discuss further. Also, if you are taking emergency contraception frequently, it is a good idea to discuss contraception with your OBGyn. Take care! READ MORE

  • Will vitamin D deficiency affect pregnancy?

    There are no recommendations to routinely check vitamin D levels during pregnancy. But if your vitamin D levels were checked and noted to be low, it’s fine to take Vitamin D supplements. There are no studies which show that it affects pregnancy or health of your baby. Good luck with your pregnancy! READ MORE

  • What is the best way to deal with my menstraul cramps?

    You may have something called Endometriosis, please see your OBGyn to get help regarding this. You can try over the counter ibuprofen until then. Take care! READ MORE

  • I took an emergency contraceptive pill about 62 hours after sex. Will it still work?

    You can take morning-after pills up to 5 days after unprotected sex, but they work much better if you take them during the first 3 days. They are usually about 75-89% effective. Take a pregnancy test if you do not get your period within 3 weeks after taking the morning-after pill. Take care! READ MORE

  • Why do I have spotting in the 3rd month of my pregnancy?

    If the spotting is not associated with cramping, it is unlikely that it worrisome. It is still recommended that you get in touch with your doctor and discuss this. Take care! READ MORE

  • Are there any sexual positions which can ensure that I conceive?

    There are no studies to show that a particular sexual position helps with conceiving. It is a good idea to see your OBGyn for “Pre conception Counseling” before you try to conceive. Good luck! READ MORE

  • Are hot flashes during urination normal?

    The symptoms you are describing can sometimes happen if you hold your urine longer causing the bladder to expand more than normal. And then finally when you urinate it might be causing a vasovagal reaction which you may be describing as hot flashes. If this continues please see your primary care doctor. Take care! READ MORE

  • Are there home remedies to treat vaginal yeast infection?

    There are no home remedies which effectively treat vaginal yeast infection. Definitely continue your medication and follow up with your doctor if you don’t feel better. Change in lifestyle (healthy diet, exercise, adequate water intake) help with enhancing immunity, which in turn help your body prevent future infections. You can start taking probiotics which helps with replenishing healthy bacteria in your body. Take care! READ MORE

  • Is it periods or implantation bleeding?

    It is unlikely that it is a miscarriage. Periods sometimes could be delayed due to various reasons including stress, bleeding after a delayed period could be heavy, sometimes painful. Please see your OBGyn if you still have concerns. Take care! READ MORE

  • If my pregnancy test is negative, why are my periods delayed?

    There could be many reasons for your periods to be delayed apart from positive pregnancy test. Reasons could range from hormone imbalance, thyroid problems, pituitary tumors, etc. Please see your OBGyn if you have no period within the next 2-3 weeks for further tests. If your periods are regular then the pregnancy test should be positive 2 weeks after your missed period or 4 weeks after your first day of last menstrual period. Hope this helps, Take care!

  • Breast cancer biopsy

    Core needle biopsy(CNB) is done to obtain an adequate sample. During CNB, your doctor uses a wide, hollow needle to take out pieces of breast tissue from a suspicious area the doctor has felt or has pinpointed on an imaging test. The needle may be attached to a spring-loaded tool that moves the needle in and out of the tissue quickly.A small cylinder (core) of tissue is taken out in the needle. Several cores are often removed. To answer your question precisely, core samples of mass or tumor are obtained using a core needle (hollow needle) for diagnosis. Hope this helps! Take care! READ MORE

  • Is a TSH value of 3.17 normal in 9 months of pregnancy?

    It is recommended that TSH 2.5 and above be treated in pregnancy. There are some studies that have showed an improvement in the IQ points for the baby. But if you are already 36 weeks I do not see a great benefit in starting treatment now. Good luck with your delivery! READ MORE
