Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms

Ectopic pregnancy symptoms (अस्‍थानिक गर्भावस्‍था) its Signs, Risk Factor, & Treatment

Dr. Anshu Syed from Amar Hospital, Mohali, has explained ectopic pregnancy symptoms, causes, evaluation process, and preventions.

What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?

There are several steps in pregnancy, from fertilization to delivery. One of these steps is when a fertilized egg travels to the uterus to attach itself. As explained by Dr. Anshu, this pregnancy is when the fertilized egg attaches to the fallopian tube, abdominal cavity, or cervix.

What are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?

  1. Sharp waves of pain in the abdomen, pelvis, shoulder, or neck
  2. Severe pain that occurs on one side of the abdomen
  3. Light to heavy vaginal spotting or bleeding
  4. Dizziness or fainting
  5. Rectal pressure

Risk factors

According to Dr. Anshu, a practicing gynecologist at Amar Hospital, Mohali, the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy are: 

  1. The risk of the pregnancy would increase if the female had an ectopic pregnancy once before.
  2. History of recurring pelvic infection as it causes tubal abnormality, which increases the risk of this pregnancy. 
  3. Tuberculosis can be another risk-increasing factor for causing ectropic pregnancy. 
  4. Uses of contraceptive pills taken to avoid unwanted pregnancy can be the cause of this pregnancy.

Treatment and prevention

Track your menstrual cycle. Take a pregnancy using the pregnancy kits available in the market if you miss your date. If the pregnancy test is positive, Dr. Anshu strictly suggests consulting a gynecologist. Whether you want to continue the pregnancy or not. Taking a pill from a pharmacist could be harmful. Consulting a gynecologist, she would perform an ultrasound to locate the actual location of the zygote. This way, one can find out at an early stage whether it is an ectopic pregnancy or no.  According to Dr. Ansu, this pregnancy is easier to treat when diagnosed at an early stage. There is medical management done, and then the pregnancy is observed and investigated.

But on the other hand, it could lead to the zygote growing inside the fallopian tube if the ectopic pregnancy is not diagnosed and treated in the early stage. This could lead to tubal rupture. this results in severe internal bleeding and massive hamarage as the fallopian tube gets erupted. Which can be fatal. To avoid this pregnancy, Dr. Anshu suggests getting an ultrasound done. To locate the zygote and treat it at an early stage without complications. And consulting a gynecologist.

PCOS / PCOD | Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Symptoms, Causes, And Treatment

PCOS – PCOD problem symptoms and its causes, evaluation, and treatment.

PCOS – PCOD Problem Symptoms

Dr. Anshu from Amar Hospital, Mohali, has explained PCOS – PCOD Problem Symptoms, causes, evaluation process, and treatment.

What is PCOS – PCOD problem and its symptoms? 

PCOS/PCOD stands for Polycystic Ovarian Disease or Syndrome. It is a prevalent problem that women of any age group can experience. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects a woman’s hormone levels. Its Symptoms are late periods or irregular periods, weight gain, hair growth on the body, facial hair growth, acne, and pimples. 

What causes this cystic disorder (PCOS –PCOD problem symptoms)?

According to Dr. Anshu, the two most important causes of PCOS is Genetics or a sedentary lifestyle. 

Genetic

 If your mom or sister or any blood-related female in your family has PCOS, then the chances of you having PCOS also increases. 

Sedentary lifestyle

Children don’t play outside. The outdoor activity is lessened due to the overuse of technology. Dr. Anshu says the loss of physical activity is why many women are suffering from PCOS. 

What can be done to prevent PCOS/PCOD? 

Like it is said, prevention is better than cure. Dr. Anshu says that preventions are necessary so that this type of situation does not arise in the first place. She suggests starting doing some kind of physical activity regularly, like exercising or play outdoor games. On eating habits, she recommends avoiding eating outside very often, as junk food contains fat and oil. It might be pleasing to your kid’s tongue but is not suitable for their health. 

Evaluation and treatment

Dr. Anshu says that ultrasound is to be done for PCOD as in the ultrasound, the multicystic picture could be seen in the ovaries, i.e., multiple eggs are formed instead of one. As the name PCOS suggests, numerous small cysts are formed instead of one dominant egg, and neither are the eggs released (does not ovulate). This also leads to infertility because one dominant or a good quality egg is not formed or released. 

According to her, the treatment of PCOD depends on the problem of concern as it is basically due to hormonal imbalance. If the patient is a young girl and her concern is her constant weight gain and irregular periods. The treatment would be to modify the patient’s lifestyle to lose weight, try diet plans and stop eating junk food. Whereas for the irregular periods, the doctor would prescribe a months’ medication. If the patient follows the recommended treatment PCOS problem would gradually decrease. 

On infertility, Dr. Anshu says that as a quality or dominant egg is not formed or due to no ovulation, a couple can’t conceive. In such cases, the doctor would prescribe fertility medicines and make it possible for the couple to conceive. 

Why is it so necessary to get PCOD/PCOS treated?

Dr. Anshu stresses the fact that PCOD should be treated as soon as possible because missed or delayed periods for a long time can lay the foundation for genetic or reproductive cancer. According to her, it becomes a high-risk factor for endometrial cancer in the long run. So it is essential to spread awareness about it as well. Lastly, Dr. Anshu suggests meeting a gynecologist regarding this problem and start taking care of oneself.
