Health

Hi doc I'm 18years I took emergency contraceptive four days before my period and the four days has reach and going to 8 days I haven't seen my period yet

Ans: Hello! If you have taken emergency contraception
4 days prior to periods,
There are high chances your periods can get delayed.
The morning-after pill, also known as the I-pill, can delay your period by up to one week. However, in rare cases, your period may be delayed for several weeks. If your period is more than a week late, or if it is lighter than usual, you should take a pregnancy test and speak to a doctor.
The I-pill is an emergency contraceptive tablet that contains a synthetic hormone that mimics progesterone. It's not intended to be used as a regular method of birth control.

Dr, I’m 35 years old from Jamnagar, and my husband and I have been trying for a baby for the past year, but nothing seems to be working. I recently visited a fertility clinic in neighborhood , and after a few tests, they mentioned that I might have blocked fallopian tubes. The gynaec also talked about possible treatments like surgery or IVF, but I’m really confused and worried. Should I go for a laparoscopy to check the severity, or are there any other alternatives that could help me? I’m really anxious and just want to understand my options better before making any decisions.

Ans: History noted.
Considering your age 35 years, trying to conceive since, one year and few test done, one of which suggest possibility of tubal blockage, there are various modalities of treatment.
Firstly, you can do laparoscopy to note the severity if blockage and do tubal cannulation.
Tubal cannulation is often the first line of treatment for patients with blocked fallopian tubes because it's a non-invasive procedure that's widely available.
Tubal cannulation is a procedure that can unblock fallopian tubes and is highly successful for proximal tubal blockages, with a success rate of over 80%. However, it may not be successful for all patients and is not recommended for distal tubal occlusions.
This procedure if successful can avoid IVF procedure. Laparoscopy has…
Yes, before ivf get all your blood test, ecg, 2 D echo, xray chest to rule out any illness
Same with your husband to get semen analysis and viral markers with blood sugars to be done.

Hello Doctor, I’m in my late 20s, and lately, I’ve been feeling like something’s off with my body. My periods either show up way too early, sometimes not at all for months. And, I’ve been putting on weight even though I haven’t changed my diet or exercise routine. My skin has also turned into a battlefield with acne all over, which I never used to have before. My cousin, who’s around my age, just found out she has PCOS, and her mom (my aunt) went through something similar when she was younger. Now, I’m scared because I’ve been hearing all these horror stories about how it can affect fertility, and I’m not even married yet. What if it’s a family thing and I end up facing the same problems? My mom says, ‘Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,’ but I can’t stop thinking about it. Should I see a gynecologist, or is there another kind of doctor I should be visiting? What tests should I do to get to the bottom of this before it gets worse? Honestly, I’m feeling overwhelmed and just want to know what’s going on before it’s too late.

Ans: Hello, noted your concerns
You are in late 20’s with irregular periods, acne, weight gain,
You are undergoing hormonal imbalance
We need to do certain blood test like
CBC, tsh prolactin fasting insulin level
Hba1c, testosterone level
DHEA, LH FSH ESTRADIOL LEVEL
Amd AMH level to check for fertility level
Usg pelvis to rule out
Pcos
The mainstay treatment. For pcos is lifestyle changes
1) Daily exercise, walks. Zumba, running
2) Good nutritious food with proteins, vitamins, minerals, low carbs and fats
3) good adequate sleep 7 to 8 hours
4) stress management: yoga meditation, breathing exercise
5) supplements to controls effects of pcos
6) low dose OC PILLS TO regularize the cycles

Money

Sir, Which ULIP policy is best for me (Wealth creation+ Life Coverage). My current age is 30.

Ans: Hello;

My suggestion would be to opt for an adequate term life insurance and invest through mutual funds and NPS for other goals.

But if you are keen about ULIP only then you may select the insurer/plan of your choice or as advised by your insurance advisor.

However in the Ulip plan have 80% allocation to pure equity funds and balance 20% to debt funds to beginwith and tweak it over time as you grow older(nearing policy maturity date; ~ 30 years later) so by the time the policy is about to mature your equity allocation should be 40% or less.

Happy Investing;

Dear sir, I have purchased a property for which I need to pay Rs25 Lacs after 3 years. I am able to invest Rs60000 each month therefore could you suggest if I should open a Recurring Deposit with Bank or SIP with Hybrid mutual fund to maximize return in 3 years - Thanks

Ans: Hello;

Since money invested would be required after 3 years for payment towards property purchase, recurring deposit is a better option then equity savings type mutual fund.

The returns from equity savings type mutual fund may be higher but they are subject to market fluctuations so no point in taking that risk.

Career

Hello, i have 26 yrs of experience in the IT industry, and currently working as a consultant technical manager for important projects in several drdo labs in Hyderabad for the past few years. Despite being handson in coding, system design, I am also responsible for team management, deliverables, requirement analysis, and stakeholder management. I have an executive MBA from xlri and certification from pmi. Being 54 years of age, what are my options? Are there opportunities for people in the 50s? How about remote work or freelancing opportunities? I kind of find myself stuck and would like to explore opportunities. Any ideas? how to stay relevant in this ever changing world of technology?

Ans: Sumit Sir,
54-year-old with a strong background in the IT field, high-stakes projects, and an Executive MBA from XLRI can still stay relevant and look for opportunities. You can try for freelance consulting, work from home, coach, mentor, and train businesses in Agile methods, stakeholder handling, and team leadership.

To stay current, you can move into academic or research roles as an adjunct professor, work on research projects with universities or think tanks, or start your own business as a niche consultant.

To look for opportunities, make your LinkedIn profile stand out, share stories or insights, actively network, upskill strategically, and build a portfolio. Being old is an asset, but it's important to use it as a unique selling point and be flexible to stay competitive. By carefully using your skills and experience, you can open up many good opportunities and continue to thrive in the ever-changing tech world. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Question by Abin - Sep 14, 2024Hindi

Career

I've just started my SSC preparation at the age of 24. I wasn't a good student during my graduation, so I only achieved 53% marks. However, I believe that if I give it my best, I can crack the SSC CGL exam because I have relatively good marks in my post-graduation (70%). My concern is whether there's any chance that SSC might introduce a minimum graduation percentage requirement for the CGL exam in the future. If they do, all my efforts could go to waste. Could someone clarify if there’s any possibility of SSC implementing such a requirement?

Ans: Abin, The future of SSC's qualifying requirements is uncertain, but it is suggested that the test's emphasis on merit rather than academic grades could be impacted. Performance in the selection process is more important than academic records for most government tests, including SSC CGL. Any changes to eligibility requirements would be made public, and transitional rules may be in place. To prepare, focus on aptitude, reasoning, and topic knowledge in SSC CGL. If concerned about changes, consider other options like state-level government exams or competitive tests. Stay updated on SSC's changes. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.
