My wife is pregnant and her T3 value is high. What to do?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen all the attached reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Rise of triiodothyronine (T3) alone has no clinical significance (especially when TSH is in normal range - 1.50). So, it will not harm mother or the baby.

Why am I getting recurrent miscarriage?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Three months is a short duration for conception to occur. The chance of pregnancy after trying for six months is 70 percent. You can safely try naturally for another six months. There is very little likelihood of there being any pathology preventing pregnancy.

Can an endometrial polyp grow so quickly in a span of eight weeks?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the ultrasound picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity) you have provided, it does not look like polyp in the endometrium. In fact it looks like some collection, such as fluid or blood clot, in endometrial cavity, although the appearance of single static film can be deceiving. Polyp normally looks more hyperechoic (whitish). Even if it is polyp, there is no need to worry as many polyps come and go with menstrual bleeding and as you said there is 96 % chance of it not being cancer.

Will iron tablets cause constipation?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. If she is having chronic anemia then one advice would be to make sure that it is due to iron deficiency anemia indeed and not due to other deficiency or thalassemia minor. If hemogram was done, red blood cell distribution width (RDW) of ≥15 % and picture of microcytic or normocytic hypochromic anemia with anisopoikilocytosis (red blood cells of unequal size) will be indicative of iron deficiency and no other test would be needed. If not so, serum ferritin and high performance liquid chromatography - HPLC to rule out thalassemia would be recommended. For confirmed iron deficiency anemia, preferred medicine of choice should be Orofer XT 100 mg daily.

What can be the cause for severe cramps during periods?

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.Your symptoms can have two causes: one is a low pain threshold (pain sensitivity varies among individuals), and the other is endometriosis. Endometriosis is less likely in your case, as oral contraceptives are known to suppress it. If you are taking a low-dose oral contraceptive (Estrogen 20/30 mcg), you can take a high dose (Estrogen 35/50 mcg-microgram) for two to three months (if your doctor permits or if you have no risk factor for the high-dose pill). You can see the package insert for risk factors and see if pain reduces or disappears.

Will tablet Ovacet regularize the periods and ovulation?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. If your periods are irregular, then tablet Ovacet (combination of L-Methylfolate, Myo-Inositol, and Vitamin D3) alone is less likely to induce ovulation. However, the tablet will help in normalizing metabolism and decrease the resistance to ovulation induction medicine. I hope this helps you. Thank you.

I get spotting every 15 days. What can be the reason?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You are suffering from PCOS/PMOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome/polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome), which is found in 5-10 percentage of general population and there is nothing to worry for it. Your spotting is not related to PCOS directly. In PCOS/PMOS, periods become irregular due to anovulation, which leads to heavy bleeding due to unopposed estrogen in body. Simple treatment for it is to take combined oral contraceptive pills for regularizing periods before marriage and when you are not trying for pregnancy.

What is the chance of pregnancy in PCOS/PMOS?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. With so much prolonged amenorrhea, ovulation is unlikely to have occurred and pregnancy is less likely. Kindly use barrier contraceptive (condom) for three weeks and repeat home pregnancy test. If it comes negative, then pregnancy is almost ruled out. Absence of menstrual cycle for such a long term is not desirable, as it increases the chance of endometrial cancer by unopposed estrogen exposure to endometrium.

My daughter has PCOS/PMOS. What precautions should I take?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Initial periods around puberty can be irregular. If the diagnosis of PCOS/PMOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome) is correct, she may require medicines to make her periods regular. PCOS/PMOS girls are at a risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and endometrial hyperplasia. Many of those can be prevented by a good diet, regular exercise, preventing weight gain and taking progesterone tablets to induce a period, if they are irregular even after the age of 20.

After I-pill when to take my PCOS/PMOS medicines again?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The chance of pregnancy is almost zero. There is no need to worry. Dizziness might be due to stress. I hope this has helped.
