Q

ALL counselling

A

We think there is something more serious going on
We’re concerned that the tiredness, shortness of breath and some of the signs I found could be the cause of something sinister.
The most important thing we want to rule out is leukaemia - this is cancer of the white cells in blood.
I know cancer is a scary word to be thinking out but it’s important we know if this is the case so we can treat ASAP
Our treatments for ALL are good and his prognosis is good (95% remission rate). His symptoms could be caused by something quite simple that will pass but it’s important we get to the bottom of this.

120
Q

counselling for atrophic vaginitis

A

From the examinations and tests we have done the good news is that your cervix is completely normal
It looks as though you have vaginal atrophy.
This is something lots of women get after they have the menopause and is caused by reducing levels of one of your hormones called oestrogen.
It causes the vaginal walls to become a bit drier and thinner and sometimes they can bleed.

The treatment for this is generally an oestrogen cream which you put directly into your vagina and this helps to keep the vaginal tissue moist and healthy.
It’s also important to use lots of lubrication when you have sex so that the tissue doesn’t get irritated and sore.

121
Q

planned pregnancy?

IVF pregnancy?

122
Q

results of the DS quadruple test

A

beta hCG = raised
AFP = low
inhibin A = raised
unconjugated estriol = low

123
Q

antenatal screening shows increased risk of DS - counselling

A

I have had a look at your blood results and first I wanted to check if you knew what they were looking for?
They were looking at the risk of the baby having Down’s syndrome and some other conditions.
The test cannot say for sure whether the baby definitely has one of these syndromes but it gives us an idea if there is a high or low risk of this.
From the results it looks as though you have a higher chance of your baby having Down’s syndrome.
This means that there is a higher than 1 in 150 chance of Down’s syndrome. It is too early to say for definite either way.

124
Q

options following this

A

So the options you have now are to leave it and wait until the birth or to have further screening which gives a much more accurate idea of whether the baby does have Down’s syndrome or not. As you are 16 weeks along now the appropriate test would be called amniocentesis. This is where we take a small sample of the amniotic fluid and test the cells inside.

125
Q

how to manage a pregnant woman with asthma?

A

Monitor regularly

Breastfeeding- encourage women to breastfeed, use asthma medications as normal during lactation

Q

epilepsy in pregnancy

A

Arrange an appointment with your neurologist to discuss medicines
Probable that they will switch you from sodium valproate as associated with a problems with development of the baby
As sodium valproate can lead to fetal malformations best to stay on the COCP until have switched to another medication
Unfortunately not much evidence or data on using any of the anti-epilepsy medications in pregnancy
HOWEVER, big risks to you and the fetus if you were to self discontinue any anti-epileptics so once on stable treatment recommended by neurologist, important to continue with this
