Hi!!
Your doctor has prescribed you medicines to make eggs which are probably naturally not being produced in the ovary.Theses medices are given to induce ovulation which probably in your condition is not happening if you are not able to concieve after trying for quite some time.
Inj hucog is given to make the egg rupture artificially by medicines.
Pregnancies after ovulation induction( which is happening in your case) result in successful pregnancies but one has to know that theses are termed as high risk pregnancies and you may have to be on hormone support throughout the pregnancy.
No chances of malfomed babies or any such side effects with these injection or medicines for hormonal support

Hi Doctor, Thanks for your response. I would like to clarify that my problem is not in concieving but in carrying on with the pregnancy. The last two times also I had concived naturally but after 8 weeks of pregnancy, I had to go for missed abortion. Since 2010, we have not tried to concieve consciously. Hence, what I am concern about is, after I concieve this time, will I be able to carry on with the pregnancy? What precautions should I take? I would also like to mention that I am overweight - 88 kgs. Does being overweight a issue? Also please let me know why Selace Forte and GLA 120 has been prescribed to me. Does these medicines help in loosing weight? Is it adivable to continue. Thanks & Regards, Kikim

Dr. Ritu Sethi answered : 12 years ago

These medicines are antioxidants and prevent any kind of oxidative damage to cells.In your case,you should try to rule out a condition known as thrombophilias in which there is abnormal clotting of blood and so pregnancy usually results in missed abortions.Carrying on the pregnancy is difficult in these cases
Being overweight also leads to difficulty in carrying pregnancy so you should try to lose weight and have a body mass index less than 30.
The above medicines are not for losing weight..

Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago

What tests needs to be taken to find out whether I am suffering from Thrombophilias? Can I get the test done without a Doctor's advice??

Dr. Ritu Sethi answered : 12 years ago

For detection of thrombophilias ,kindly get blood tests that are-anti thrombin 3,protein c,protein s,anti phospholipid antibodies-igg and igm,these tests are covered under thrombophilia screen offered by most labs and can be done without doctor prescription

I have what I thought was a bruise falring up a bit on my right chin / jaw line. I could feel the bump but could not remember being hit to cause such a decent size lump. My children often kick and hit me in the face in play. But to get this size lump would have been memorable unless at 39 my body now can't handle even a gentle bump. But it seems to now be getting slightly worse and is begining to feel numb and slightly itchy. I have a very mild middle bottom tooth infection. I thought if my gland was up it would be a lower / under my chin swelling which it is not under the chin but on and if anything above. I am visably looking like fred flintstone actor's chin on one side / elephant man slightly.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, If your swelling is on the same side as the tooth ache, it could be because of the existing tooth infection. To determine if the cause is the tooth or not, you need to visit a dentist and get a complete oral examination done specifically focusing on that particular side of the jaw. Preferably, get an x ray to see the tooth also. It could be a tooth infection leading into a space infection. Other reasons could be - cysts, trauma, bacterial infection like actinomycosis, abscess etc. This ca ...

hi my dad (68 years) has undergone a Turp sugery on 23rd Dec.He has been fitted with a cathether..He has been prescribed the following medicines (Pan 40 mg, levomac,augmentin 625 mg, chymoral fote)..He is taking it regularly...But the problem is he feels sleepy always and in a day sleeps for atleast 16 hrs (altough not so tight sleep)..am not sure of the reason why he feels so drowsy..can it be because of the tablets..also for info he was given spinal anaesthasia for the sugery..please advise..

Doctor's Answer

Hi, I would recommend you to get a serum electrolyte done of your dad. If sodium levels comes out to be low then you have the cause and you will have to add a bit of salt in his diet and he will improve. You can consult a urologist since all these problems you had were after the surgery. Feel free to ask more question. ...

Partial filling of colour is seen in the left CFV & SFV. The Popliteal vein does not show any colour filling. The Peroneal and Posterior Tibial veins are filling with the colour. Anterior tibial vein could not be identified on colour Doppler. 3- Doppler imaging shows mid respiratory plasticity in CFV. There is very poor Response to distal augmentation in the CFV. 4- Great Saphenous vein is Patent. IMPRESSION- Deep vein thrombosis in lower limb involving External lliac vein, CFV,SFV & Popliteal vein, and possibly Anterior Tibial Veins. There is partial recanalisation of CFV & SFV. Posterior Tibial and Peroneal veins are patent. Suggested clinical correlation. Scan copy added to the medical record in the profole. that the above is the report of the radiologist now what medicine you prescribe ,how to take and when to review the report? .whether the same will be cure or the patient should be in medicine for life long,what are the immediate risk?

Doctor's Answer

Hi, The Doppler examination shows a thrombus in the deep veins with partial recanalization. This suggests that the thrombus is of a chronic nature. The Doppler can be repeated after one month of treatment to see residual thrombus. We do not provide any prescription. For this you have to visit an internal medicine specialist. Feel free to ask more questions. ...
