22. What are the risks of having a stroke during pregnancy?

Ans:

Stroke incidence is one of the dangers connected with pregnancy, despite the fact that it is quite uncommon. A stroke can have devastating effects on both the mother and the unborn child during pregnancy. The following are some dangers connected to having a stroke while pregnant:

1.     Preeclampsia and eclampsia: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are disorders associated with pregnancy that are characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage, such as to the liver and kidneys. During pregnancy, preeclampsia raises the risk of stroke.

2.     Gestational hypertension: After the 20th week of pregnancy, high blood pressure called gestational hypertension sets in. It might make a stroke more likely.

3.     Blood clotting problems: Certain blood clotting abnormalities, such as thrombophilia and antiphospholipid syndrome, can raise the risk of stroke during pregnancy.

4.     Migraine with aura: Pregnant women who experience migraines with visual symptoms (aura) have a marginally increased risk of stroke.

5.     Cardiac conditions: Stroke risk during pregnancy might be raised by pre-existing cardiac abnormalities such congenital heart defects or heart valve problems.

6.     Diabetes and obesity: Diabetes and obesity can both raise the risk of stroke when present during pregnancy.

7.     Infections: A number of infections, including heart valve infections and urinary tract infections, can raise the risk of stroke during pregnancy.

It's crucial to remember that pregnancy still has a relatively low overall risk of stroke. However, it's important to seek emergency medical assistance if you are pregnant and have any of the aforementioned risk factors or suffer symptoms like a strong headache, visual problems, dizziness, weakness, or difficulty speaking. The prognosis for the mother and the child can be considerably improved with prompt identification and treatment.

23. What exactly is PCOM (Poly cystic ovarian morphology)? Are PCOD/PCOS similar to this?

Ans:

Ø Polycystic Ovarian Morphology is referred to as PCOM. It is a phrase used to describe how the ovaries appear on ultrasound images.

Ø A woman with PCOM may have several tiny follicles in her ovaries, which are fluid-filled sacs containing immature eggs. These follicles can produce the distinctive "polycystic" look of the ovaries.

Ø On the other hand, polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are related disorders that also entail hormonal and metabolic abnormalities.

Ø Although they have slightly different definitions, PCOD and PCOS are frequently used interchangeably.

Ø PCOD is a general term for the syndrome known as several tiny ovarian cysts with irregular or nonexistent menstrual cycles.

Ø Polycystic ovaries, irregular periods, and additional symptoms including excessive hair growth and acne are the main criteria used to diagnose PCOD.

Ø On the other hand, PCOS is a more precise diagnosis that also includes other hormonal and metabolic disorders in addition to the PCOD criteria.

Ø Insulin resistance and high levels of male hormones (androgens) are two additional characteristics of PCOS, in addition to polycystic ovaries and irregular periods. Numerous symptoms, such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth), acne, weight gain, and problems getting pregnant, can be present.

Ø While PCOD and PCOS are clinical diagnoses that cover a variety of symptoms and hormonal imbalances, PCOM is a word used to describe the ultrasound look of polycystic ovaries. Not all PCOM patients have PCOD or PCOS, and not all PCOD or PCOS patients have ultrasound-visible polycystic ovaries.

Ø Usually, a combination of a medical history, physical examination, blood tests, and ultrasound imaging is used to diagnose and treat these diseases. A healthcare practitioner should be consulted for a precise diagnosis and the best course of treatment.

24. Can a four-month pregnancy be terminated using medicine?

Ans:

Ø Pregnancy termination is a medical procedure that should be considered with a healthcare provider, especially at four months.

Ø The methods available for ending a pregnancy at four months might vary depending on a number of variables, including local laws and regulations, the person's health, and their medical background.

Ø The threshold for legal abortions in many areas is sooner than four months, usually in the first trimester.

Ø After this point, the methods used to end a pregnancy grow more complicated and may include surgery rather than only medicine. Dilation and evacuation (D&E) or labor induction are two surgical procedures.

Ø It's crucial to speak with a healthcare professional who can give you accurate and current information about the choices you have, potential hazards, and regional legal considerations. They'll be able to evaluate your particular circumstance and offer the right advice and care.
