Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Methotrexate is usually effective in treating ectopic pregnancies. Still, it is likely that after taking methotrexate for an ectopic pregnancy, you will experience some side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. You may also experience some abdominal pain and cramping. These side effects typically go away within a few days. However, in some cases, the fallopian tube may be damaged or removed during treatment, making it difficult or impossible to conceive naturally. In such cases, IVF can be used as a means of helping the couple achieve a successful pregnancy. But it's important to have regular follow-ups and checkups to ensure that the pregnancy has been terminated and that you are recovering well.

I have a reoccurring vaginal pimple on my left labia. this has been happening for a couple of months and i shave frequently, though this happens when there more sweat and shaving involved. the pimple shows up typically one to two weeks after shaving. i was wondering if i should be worried especially if it’s reoccurring?

Female | 17

It may be caused due to ingrown hair, blocked hair follicles, or skin irritation from shaving or sweat. TO avoid this, u can try keeping the area clean, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and considering alternative hair removal methods. If it still doesn't heal then check with a gynecologist for proper treatment.

Why my vagina is white discharge so much and smell so foul and so much stomach pain

Female | 19

A yeast infe­ction might explain your symptoms. With this condition, thick white discharge and an unple­asant odor often occur in the vaginal area. Abdominal discomfort fre­quently accompanies yeast infe­ctions too. Certain factors like antibiotic use or tight clothing can disrupt the­ body's natural balance, leading to overgrowth of ye­ast. Over-the-counter antifungal cre­ams can be effective­ treatments for restoring balance­ and clearing the infection.

I’m 23, I had my fallopian tubes removed but my period is 3 days late, is there a chance I could be pregnant even though I don’t have them

Female | 23

It is completely natural to be concerned about a late period, even after having your tubes tied. Here’s the thing though – not having a period can occur for many reasons besides being pregnant. Stress hormones changing up or certain drugs could all cause your menstrual cycle to go off kilter. Taking a test can help ease any worries so if this is something that is worrying you then go ahead and do it.

Does consuming a 5% alcohol beer during pregnancy increase the risk of miscarriages?

Female | 25

It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol or to consume it in moderation for those who are trying to conceive or are already pregnant. 
Even if its 5% alcohol beer in moderation and may not have a significant impact on fertility or pregnancy outcomes, it's important to know that every person and pregnancy is unique.

Hi Doctor, can someone that has given birth with scissors due to high blood pressure be able to give birth normally for the second time?

Female | 28

Hey, consult with the OBGYN or gynecologist who is experienced with complicated pregnancies. They have the capability to review the patient’s medical history to make specific suggestions depending on the individual case. Get professional advice from a health care provider before going ahead with conceiving again.

I am a 25 year old female who is currently 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 blighted ovums in 3 years apart. The scan has shown even this pregnancy is a blighted ovum. Is there a possibility of me having a normal pregnancy as I have had 2 blighted ovums already with 2 different partners. Please assist.

Female | 24

Blighted ovum, which is also called the synonym "anembryonic pregnancy," is a situation where a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, but the embryo does not develop. I understand your worries about having two blighted ovums one after the other were scary. The most important thing is to consult your doctor, who knows the potential causes and comes up with the possible solutions that allow you to have a healthy pregnancy in the future. You could have further examinations which are done to help decide if there is an underlying factor that is causing this to happen multiple times.

I'm on my 4th day of period.but my blood flow is low than normal I only have a little amount of blood in first 2day.and no cramps as usual...and I'm sick I have fever and body pain...is there any chance I'm pregnant

Female | 22

It is perfectly natural for blood flow to be inconsistent during a menstrual cycle. Sometimes it may be lighter with less cramping. It’s quite common to experience a fever and body aches while menstruating – this doesn’t necessarily mean that you are pregnant. However, if you want to make sure, take a pregnancy test after your period ends. If your symptoms are worrying you, keep yourself hydrated and get plenty of rest.
