Good advice for women

Pregnancy does not always run smoothly, but doctors and good advice of experts for women will help to correct the situation.

My son is 1,5 years old. Monthly began a year ago and passed regularly. But last month they were not. What could be the reason? Before delivery there was such that once or twice a year there were no monthly ones.


Causes of menstrual cycle disorders in women can be: chronic stress, overfatigue, nervous overexertion, unbalanced nutrition, taking medications and dietary supplements, pregnancy, etc. Find out the essence of your violation is impossible without detailed consultation and additional research. I admit that you have your own individual annual menstrual cycle with possible 1-2 delays of menstruation during the year. Do an ultrasound, a blood test for hormones to determine what condition the ovaries and uterus are in. Discuss with the gynecologist the intake of COC, balance the diet and select vitamins and mineral complexes.

Toothache of a woman: tolerate or treat?

During pregnancy (24 weeks) I found 3 sick tooth, which before I did not bother. I eat normally, I drink calcium, but my teeth hurt. The dentist says that for treatment it is necessary to make an X-ray, because teeth look perfectly healthy. I'm worried about two questions: how can I remove a toothache, so as not to harm the child, and how dangerous is the X-ray for him?


Almost half of the future mothers in our country at the time of registration identify these or other dental problems. This suggests that at present there are still few really planned, prepared pregnancies and rethought kind advice for women. Ideally, the sanation of the oral cavity should be carried out at the stages of preparation for conception. What to do in case of problems with the teeth already during pregnancy? X-rays should be taken only if urgently needed. I recommend, if possible, to avoid this method of research, although modern X-ray machines for dentistry have little effect on the fetus. If the toothache is troubling, you can not ignore this question. Go through another consultation with the dentist and select (together with the dentist and midwife) the best treatment. Anesthesia is not contraindicated in pregnancy.


Is the donor safe?

To me of 29 years, I have decided to make a donor insemination. How painful is this procedure? Is there any risk of contracting a donor infection?

Risks of infection with donor insemination are not present, if this manipulation is carried out at the clinic of reproductive medicine. In this case, sperm donors are used, who underwent repeated HIV testing, hepatitis, syphilis, and urogenital infections. In addition, the sperm retains a certain time of the incubation period (hidden from the survey of the infection period), so it is impossible to become infected in such cases. The very procedure of insemination is painless and is carried out without anesthesia.


First - a woman's examination

About 9 years ago, I was removed the right ovary and tube. A few months ago, I suffered a subacute adnexitis. Can I get pregnant? Svetlana Vetrenko It should be remembered that often after the above operation there is an adhesion process, which can affect the patency and functionality of the remaining fallopian tube. Therefore, in your case, first you should conduct hysterosal-pingography - examination of the patency of the uterine tube by introducing contrast in the uterine cavity and X-ray image. Based on the results of this study, it will be possible to judge the prospects of self-pregnancy and good advice for women.


Unnatural selection

Our son is one year old. Perhaps in the future I will be able to endure only one pregnancy. My husband and I really want a daughter. Is there a way to plan the sex of the unborn child?

Precisely to predict or plan the sex of the child is possible only in one case - artificially. Modern techniques of assistive technologies (ECO) allow not only to achieve pregnancy in women with long infertility, but also to conduct embryo research on the presence of genetic diseases in front of the embryo transfer (transferring it to the uterine cavity), and also Sex Selection (sex selection). This procedure is called pre-implantation diagnosis (or PGD). In fact, we can transfer to the uterus cavity, at the will of the parents, the embryo of a boy or girl and, thus, is guaranteed to get pregnancy with the desired sex of the child. As far as it is correct and consistent with the laws of equilibrium, it is difficult to say. It is known that in some countries the restriction on such artificial selection for women is legislatively introduced. There are no other methods for predicting the sex of the child.
