Question 1

what is transverse lie?

Accepted Answer

Unstable position.: Fetuses tend to have longitudinal lies in pregnancy - be they cephalic or breech. Transverse lies are less common and involve the fetus with its spine axis perpendicular to the mother's spine axis (head to right or left, spine up or down). If persistent, transverse lies need cesarean section for delivery, unless external cephalic version [with epidural and terbutaline under real-time u/s] works.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: transverse lie?

Accepted Answer

Transverse lie: Transverse lie =  position of long axis of fetus  is transverse to that of the mother.

Question 3

are there worrisome symptoms that can associated with a baby positioned in a transverse lie?

Accepted Answer

TRANSVERSE LIE: Baby is in a floating position before term. Your OB usually can still change baby's position before delivery. Not sure what month they do it. Get assurance from your OB that everything will be alright. Good luck!

Question 4

what is the treatment for transverse lie?

Accepted Answer

C-section, or ECV.: External cephalic version or cesarean section are the only two methods for dealing with transverse lie at delivery.

Question 5

i have a transverse lie at 35 weeks, and the baby won't move with exercises that my midwife has recommended. your thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Version: If malpresentation persists at 37 weeks, an external version may be attempted where the provider places hands on the abdomen and attempts to guide the baby into the proper position.  There can be complications, so this should be done in a hospital with fetal monitoring and the ability to perform a csection if necessary.

Question 6

will the medicine rituximab have any affect on my fertility in the future? ive taken it once before for transverse myelitis the dr says it needs to be taken every 6 months?

Accepted Answer

: Although you should not take rituximab while pregnant, there are no known effects on future reproductive ability. You should consult with the Doctor Who is going to prescribe the rituximab to answer your questions before you take it. Good luck.

Question 7

why do medicines expire?

Accepted Answer

Safety: Some may become less effective over time and other's may have adverse effects when expired.

Question 8

what medicine to eat to cold?

Accepted Answer

Antihistamines: A cold is a viral infection, usually resolves on its own.  People take medicines to resolve symptoms.  Cough medicine like Guaifenesin and antihistamines like cetirizine, fexofenadine, loratidine, are commonly used for drainage,  warm salt water rinses may help with the sore throat.   If it doesn't improve seek a doctor.

Question 9

in medicine what does oth mean?

Accepted Answer

Not a standard: Abbreviation.  I really have no idea.  Can you put it in context ?  Where did you see it? If I'm making up things...obstructive tonsillar hypertrophy?  Of the heart? Odd tooth brushing habits?  Short for Other?

Question 10

do homoeopathic medicines work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I do: It depends on the patient, the problem, and the skill of the homeopath in taking the case, though.  Some problems are not appropriate to treat primarily with homeopathy, and doing this will be both ineffective and possibly unsafe.  I've personally worked with many patients not helped through conventional means, and witnessed their gradual recovery.  I've had positive results in my own health too.
