I had wine and took corticosteroids during early days of pregnany will it harm my baby | hello as you have not mentioned the date of your last menstrual period I am assuming by day you mean the starting date of last menstrual cycle because we calculate the pregnancy age from that date so yes the early pregnancy time is very important because the embryo is developing in that time period so as per your query as you mentioned the consumption of wine in the early three weeks I do not think it is going to have any effect on the embryo because it is in the preovulatory phase when even the egg is being formed and released and yes corticosteroids in high doses when used for chronic medical conditions can have a risk of cleft lip and palate but a single shot taken for an allergic reaction should not be affecting the baby also the flucloxacillin is a penicillin group of drug which is usually safe in pregnancy so be calm and stop worrying about the risks it will just increase your stress levels moreover in early pregnancy if any embryo is grossly affected by any insult it either usually abort early if the exposure has been hazardous but if the exposure is nonhazardous it makes through and the baby will be fine this is called all or none phenomenon in pregnancy so your exposure to the medications was not that is something very dangerous so rest assured and more over your pregnancy has reached until weeks that is a good sign that the embryo has not been affected by the exposure to the drugs you have been worrying about please consult your gynecologist for your antenatal checkup and investigations required to be taken as per your local protocols us ultrasound for dating and viability it nuchal scan with dual marker test between 13 weeks routine antenatal investigations as per your local protocols tablet folic acid my daily once after food until 13 14 weeks avoid sexual intercourse until 14 weeks consult your gynecologist before any medications intake or to review the medications already taking for chronic medical conditions | hi doctor I am in week of my pregnancy and I am worried about some things that happened very early in the pregnancy before I knew I was pregnant I had a few glasses of wine from day to day 20 a total of six maybe and one glass and a half on day 20 I also took corticosteroids betamethasone a single dose of my due to an allergic reaction on day 20 and as if this was not enough I was also on antibiotics flucloxacillin which I finished on day 24 of pregnancy I am so afraid all of this might have had an impact on the baby is there a risk my baby might have been affected | medium severity |

my hair is thinning out with excess hairball how to fix my problem | hi from the information given it seems you are experiencing the early signs of male pattern hair loss this is a very common condition and there are many factors responsible one of them being genetic if you have other family members with similar patterned hair loss the chances for you to develop it increase too due to the effect of the male hormone on the hair cycle over a period of time the hair follicle starts shrinking and so the hair which comes out is thinner and more fragile and breaks easily also the growing phase of the hair is shortened so your hair does not grow as long it used to and becomes shorter and wispier being just 17 years old I am sure it must be worrying you a lot but do not be disheartened there are several treatment options available and the sooner we start the treatment the better the chances of reducing further hair loss thinning and increasing regrowth a combination of oral supplements to boost hair growth along with application of lotions containing minoxidil to begin with will be the best course of action in my opinion oral finasteride which is the male hormone blocker is used frequently applications with finasteride are available too this will be prescribed by your treating doctor after assessing the extent of thinning and discussing the side effects etc several preparations of bio peptides and other natural ingredients like saw palmetto extract melatonin etc are also available to boost the hair growth pop platelet rich plasma is a popular procedure which is often used in combination with medical treatment to stimulate hair growth further usually a combination of treatments is suggested after the clinical evaluation but using the applications regularly is the key to good results hair regrowth takes a few months to show and you will have to be patient to see the benefit of the treatment I hope this helps | hi doctor I am a 17 year old male since I started to grow my hair I began to realize how thin it is naturally is there any way to thicken it up but the main concern is that since I have grown it I started to experience excessive shedding by only passing my hand on my head I would get on average 15 hairs the pattern stopped for a while but my hair is thinning a lot on the sides I can see across my scalp easily by lifting the hairs on the side of my head lateral sides on top of ears and the regular pattern baldness zones it has become excessively thin please help | low severity |

how will melatonin interact with the effect of birth control pills | hello I understand your concern here and you are right that there are not many or in fact hardly any articles or peer reviewed papers on melatonin and birth control interactions but I would like to keep it simple for you to understand melatonin is produced during the night to ease the sleep pattern in humans post sunset with maximum levels at am and by morning am the levels found are almost negligible so it is produced by the pineal gland in the dark cycle and metabolized at night by the liver now liver also is known to metabolize the birth control pills be it progesterone only or combinations pills hence if taken together then there is a likelihood of slower metabolism of either compound and thereby prolonged residual effect may be seen on concurrent use of pills and melatonin together the effects could be prolonged sleepiness and also melatonin induced increased progesterone levels in the body causing bloating and noticeable progestogenic side effects however the efficacy or effectiveness of the pill is not compromised but metabolism is delayed as melatonin competes with the pill with the liver so ideally the better way would be to switch the pop in the morning hours and the melatonin pill at night 12 hours apart this would prevent any interference with either action on the body or cause any interaction | hello doctor I have read that melatonin could possibly lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills my understanding is that there is little to no peer reviewed scientific studies to support this claim but I am still worried as I am sexually active and take my of melatonin each night and I am on the progestin only pill I am looking for a doctor to weigh in on this issue | low severity |
