Dr. Vandana Clinic

Hello!

I am Dr. Vandana Gupta, senior obstetrician and gynaecologist. I want to let my friends, my patients know that we can save our uterus until the very end. The rising rate of uterus removal is because of our lifestyle disorders and these lifestyle disorders have their initiation when we are very young. So a girl who is 12-14 years old when she is starting her periods, if she has any ovarian disorders which lead to disorders of your periods, they have to be taken care of right then and there. So we can have a healthy uterus when the lady turns 40. The number of pregnancies a lady carries that includes all her abortions as well. That is what determines her gravity, that is the number of children or the number of pregnancies is the uterus has carried. Suppose the lady has three children and she had three abortions, the uterus counts them as 6 pregnancies.

So when the diseases of the uterus come when you are 40+, they will come according to 6 pregnancies. So you have to take care that you are healthy right from the very beginning and once the diseases of the uterus have come don't pass it on as a passing phase. From 40 to 50 anytime the lady can have menopause. This is the time we call as peri-menopausal time. This is the time when the problems of hormonal disorders pickup and they aggravate her problem. These are the problems if taken care of in very early stage, I can assure you that 80% of the cases we can save the uterus; provided we examine the lady and we investigate her and initiate the right treatment at the right time.

We can save her uterus so that she does not have to get her uterus removed for excessive bleeding or maybe small fibroids also. The moment the lady achieve her menopause these diseases subdue as the hormonal trigger has gone up. We just have to abide by the time that the lady crosses her 50 years of age and she has taken care of these disorders naturally and thus we save her uterus. At times the lady keeps on bleeding beyond 50 years of age. That is also not considered to be healthy. She has to be seen by her gynecologist if she is having even her normal period beyond 50 years of age because then she becomes a very high case of someone suffering uterine diseases and maybe even cancer in uterus and she might have to take her uterus out before cancer develops in her.

Thank you!

Hello!

I am Dr. Vandana Gupta, a senior consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist practicing in Mayur Vihar Phase-2. I want to tell you about pregnancy-related problems which commonly ladies face. First and foremost is the nausea and vomiting a woman face in pregnancy. It can be taken care by eating small and frequent meals. No spicy and fried meals. And still you are not able to manage it, your doctor can give you medicines which is very safe in pregnancy to be taken. Pregnancy is divided into 3 parts. First 3 months (first trimester), middle 3 months (2nd trimester), last 3 months (third trimester). All 3 months are very special. In first 3 months the lady is getting used to her pregnancy. The most comfortable of pregnancy is middle 3 months. And if she wants to travel in 2nd trimester, she can but with the doctor's advice.

She has to keep herself hydrated. She also has to take adequate calories. In last trimester, baby has grown in size and also the lady feels a bit uncomfortable and travel has to be restricted. Because now we start thinking that lady might go into preterm labor. 1st and 3rd trimester, no traveling. The weight gain in pregnancy based upon the lady's base weight. It can vary from 10-15 kgs. Suppose a lady is starting her pregnancy at 65 kgs and she is just 5'2 in height, so it means she is already overweight and if she gains 8-10 kgs, she will be most comfortable. So, this is the way she can take care of herself and her baby. Her thoughts, stress and everything affects the child. When the baby is in womb, baby is learning. Lady's behavior, eating, emotions. So, you have to take care of all these things. So, you have to see that nothing goes wrong.

The diseases like diabetes and hypertension, all should be controlled. The baby comes out in a very healthy state. So, you have to be what you want your child to be. If you want your child to be peaceful, so you also have to be peaceful. From 7 months baby can listen you, so have to be very thoughtful even when you are talking very silently to anyone. All the feeling, thoughts are passed on to the baby. So, it is a very important time to plan your diet and thoughts. Plan your activities. Yoga and meditation will take you a long way so as to achieve a normal and healthy vaginal delivery. If the complications are arises, then the chances of operative thing also arises. Baby is also getting programmed as your body and getting ready for healthy and normal vaginal delivery. That is what we all want in the end of the day. Less complicated pregnancy, delivery and a very healthy and hearty baby.

Thank You.
