I have a 5-year-old son who is very fond of his pet dog. We are careful about keeping the dog hygienic but I would like to know if there is a risk of any sort due to contact with dogs?

Asthma and other allergies and dog bites are the most common triggers for asthma. If your child develops any kind of allergies, get advice from your doctor and take expert advice before choosing a pet the next time.

Although pet dogs are relatively at low risk of rabies, vaccinating your pet at regular interval is recommended. Not only is the bite of the dogs infected with rabies dangerous, even a scratch or lick on broken skin by infected animal can prove fatal. The chances of transmission of virus from the saliva into the boy through the wounded or broken skin are high.

I’m a 28-year-old, married for the last three years. Despite our best efforts my wife is unable to conceive. My doctor says my infertility is related to obesity. Is it true and if yes, what is the solution?

Obesity does influence infertility in males. However, it would be difficult to say with certainty, if your obesity is the only cause for infertility. You would need a complete check up with all investigations to ascertain the exact cause/causes.

My girlfriend and I started our careers at the age of 24. We should take about 7-8 years to reach the positions we want. This will probably delay our marriage plans. Will it become difficult for her to conceive at that age? What are the difficulties she could face? Is egg-freezing an option for us?

I agree with your decision to freeze your eggs, as the hormone levels start to go down after the age of 35. You should plan to have the first baby by the age of 30. According to current studies, the success rate of such a procedure is increasing. However, we do also have a good chance of success rate of such a procedure is increasing. However, we do also have a good chance of success with fresh embryos, which means harvesting fresh eggs and sperm rather than using frozen once. If you wish to freeze the eggs, that too, is a good option. You now have both options available to you.

I’m a 40-year-old suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. I’m told that I snore loudly while sleeping. My current weight is 128 kg. Is there any permanent cure for my problems?

You are suffering from obesity and its related comorbidities. Bariatric surgery is currently the only cure available for your problem. You need to be evaluated and most probably a gastric bypass surgery is the solution to your problem.

It has been 2 years since I got married and as much as I try I fail to understand my wife. We fight a lot due to differences in thoughts and outlook. How much of an understanding is justified on my behalf? I love my wife and I want our relation to work.

It does happen at times that in spite of mutual love that a couple shares, they start having disharmony due to errors in communication, faulty expectations or sometimes due to external pressures of work life balance. I recommended that you consult a professional and take guidance, I am sure with mutual feelings you share, with professional help you would be amicably able to sort out the differences and your relationship would becoming positive.

Hi, I am a 54-year-old retired man. I read recently that prostate cancer is the second largest type of cancer in the US and is increasing on the rise in India. Could I also be at risk ?

Prostate cancer is a disease which only affects men. It brings to grow in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer is mostly a very slow processing disease. In fact, many men die of old age, without ever knowing they had prostate cancer; it is only when an autopsy is done that doctors know the stage of the cancer, or how far it has spread which helps the doctor to give a prognosis. It also helps to decide on a course of treatment.

Is semen deficiency correctable?

Semen deficiencies can be corrected only if a correctable cause can be found. Medicines can be used to correct conditions such as deficiency of pituitary hormone production or infections of the genital and urinary tract. Surgical correction can be dome for some types of blocks in the path of semen travel and severe varicocoele or hydrocele. However, most semen defects are irreversible and empirical treatment administered with drugs to improve semen quality is ineffective.

Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour, Shares Her Views on How One Can Take Care of New Born Baby in Summer

Traditional practices followed by most Indian households are to keep a new born baby indoors for the first 6 weeks after birth. Intense heat of the summer months can be a challenge for new borns and new parents, with these tips new parents can look forward to a bright and smooth summer period.

Summer makes new borns prone to dehydration so pay attention to your baby’s clothing. Light cotton fabrics are best and if your area faces a mosquito problem keep your baby covered to avoid bites.  Breast milk has all the required ingredients and parents should resist the urge to feed water even in formula fed babies, the formula feed is sufficient. These tips will also protect your baby from sunstroke or overheating and risk of water borne infections, diarrhea and vomiting.

Sometimes pediatricians may recommend 20 minutes of sun exposure (avoiding the harsh sunrays exposure in mild sun rays). This is more so in babies who are mildly jaundiced like preterm babies. Keep your baby’s eyes covered at such times.

It is common to see a small white spotty rash in new borns this could be a normal variation or could be a rash predisposing to infection so always gets a checkup done. Change your baby’s clothes frequently to avoid perspiration from causing rashes especially in the fold of the skin. Wash clothes diligently in a mild disinfectant. Keep your home and surroundings as hygienic and mosquito free as possible. Disinfectants should be used with caution as it can be difficult for a new born to safely metabolize and excrete them unlike an adult.

Women who are breast feeding should take good care of their own diet and hydration status so that they have good amounts and quality of breast milk. Also take care of your baby’s strollers as it may get hot if kept outdoors. Check temperature with great care to avoid any inadvertent burns.

Of course all the regular vaccines are to be given in a timely manner

Summer can be a challenge but with these tips you can sit back relax and enjoy the joy of being new parents!

First Workshop for Couples Expecting Baby by Surrogacy

First workshop for couples expecting baby by surrogacy on how to breast feed the baby by inducing lactation.We successful close to 40 participants. Despite heavy rains everyone made it and so keen and motivated to get started!! Thanks to hard work in organising this by LalitVerma Jyoti Prince Ruth Malik from Australia.....UdayMedala

Dr Ritu Santwani thank you for introducing me to this team in your wonderful CME in Pune.
Can even be started after baby is born. Medications include ocpillperinorm...and just herbs like methi seeds. Depends on what stage of pregnancy. For surrogacy always do this after 28 weeks...Viability of baby. Be v sensitive in presentation as these couples have been through a lot of hardships and heartbreak. 2 stories are very good. Einstein breast feed for almost 5 to 6 yrs; milk important for brain development due to higher fat content than cow’s milk etc. Other story is of tsunami in Thailand...father stranded on a tree with a hungry baby...mother missing...father started lactating...breast milk ...as no one around to provide any feed to baby. It's just an amazing story.
