FAQs about pregnancy
When should I start pregnancy treatment?
Getting prenatal care during pregnancy is essential, especially in the first trimester (6-12th weeks). Consult a doctor immediately for starting prenatal care during pregnancy at Your Doctors Online.
What is the treatment of uti in pregnancy?
If you experience urinary tract infections during pregnancy, your provider may prescribe you medications like nitrofurantoin and cephalexin, safe antibiotics to take while pregnant. Consult a doctor for a detailed consultation and diagnosis of the infection and its treatment at Your Doctors Online.
Should I go to the doctor for a yeast infection while pregnant?
Yeast infection doesn’t cause extreme complications for your child and yourself, but it is best to get the treatment before delivery as it can affect your baby during birth. Your doctor may prescribe a topical antibiotic for the treatment of yeast infections. Consult a doctor at Your Doctors Online if you experience the symptoms of infections.
What is the most common treatment for ectopic pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy can only be treated by medications that end pregnancy. Unfortunately, it is impossible to save the fetus, but it can be treated with medicines like methotrexate which get absorbed in the body in 4-6 weeks.
How long can an ectopic pregnancy go without treatment?
The sac containing the fetus ruptures in about 6-16 weeks ending the ectopic pregnancy. The duration is too short to allow the fetus to live independently due to the unavailability of the blood supply required for its growth. Contact a doctor at Your Doctors Online for the details and management of ectopic pregnancy.
How can I treat my pregnancy without going to the doctor?
You cannot treat pregnancy without going to a doctor, as prenatal care is crucial for safe delivery and a healthy child and mother. Consult a doctor at Your Doctors Online for pregnancy care.
