Gynecology

Question: My future wife's blood group is negative and mine is also positive. Will my wife have any problems conceiving children? If so, is there a solution? - Unwilling to be named

In many cases, if the wife's blood group is negative, complications may not occur in the case of the first child but may occur in the case of having the next child.

The first pregnancy is not usually supposed to be a problem. However, if any kind of problem occurs, the pregnant mother must be kept under close observation. Many times the mother is given an anti-RH antibody injection immediately after the baby is born. In addition, when having a child, care should be taken to ensure that the child is born within the stipulated date.

Hormones

Question: I am 18 years old, height 4 feet 11 inches. My parents are both short. I exercise regularly, yet the height is not increasing. What should I do in this situation? - Unwilling to be named

If the height of the parents is low, then the height of someone may below. Exactly how much height can be expected can be calculated. Whether or not bone growth is adjusted with age can be determined by X-ray examination. See a hormonal specialist if you lack coordination. In addition, thyroid hormone problems, malnutrition means lack of vitamins, etc., should be checked.

Teeth

Question: I am 19 years old. I used to brush a little harder before. One of my gums has moved a lot. The gums of other teeth are also getting a little lighter. I don't smoke, I don't eat Jordan. However, I use inhalers. Occasionally I rinse with salt and hot water. How can I strengthen my gums at home?

One of the reasons why the gums are removed and the root is exposed is the irregular tooth brushing method. In such cases, in addition to making the teeth look bigger, there may be a feeling of tingling or hypersensitivity, weakening of the gum and bone bond with the teeth. With fluoridated toothpaste, teeth should be kept clean knowing the rules of proper brushing according to the structure and position of the teeth. If necessary, a filling can be done like gum color.
