Thomas asks…
As fetal viability increases, will the justification for abortion decrease? With medical science, fetuses are becoming viable much earlier. What happens when it advances to the point that a fertilized egg can develop completely outside of the mother's body? This obviously won't happen in the near future, but as we get closer to that point, the window in which it is acceptable to abort seems to shrink.
admin answers: By gestational age, 5% of preterm births occur at less than 28 weeks (extreme prematurity), 15% at 28–31 weeks (severe prematurity), 20% at 32–33 weeks (moderate prematurity), and 60–70% at 34–36 weeks (near term) We still have a long way to go, it is still rare for babies under 28 weeks to survive. Preterm infants usually show physical signs of prematurity in reverse proportion to the gestational age. As a result they are at risk for numerous medical problems affecting different organ systems. * Neurological problems include apnea of prematurity, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), developmental disability, cerebral palsy and intraventricular hemorrhage, the latter affecting 25 percent of babies born preterm, usually before 32 weeks of pregnancy.[8] Mild brain bleeds usually leave no or few lasting complications, but severe bleeds often result in brain damage or even death.[8] * Cardiovascular complications may arise from the failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth: patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). * Respiratory problems are common, specifically the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS or IRDS) (previously called hyaline membrane disease). Another problem can be chronic lung disease (previously called bronchopulmonary dysplasia or BPD). * Gastrointestinal and metabolic issues can arise from hypoglycemia, feeding difficulties, rickets of prematurity, hypocalcemia, inguinal hernia, and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

* Hematologic complications include anemia of prematurity, thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) that can lead to kernicterus. * Infectious include sepsis, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preterm_delivery#Prognosis Don't you ask yourself when is it morally ambiguous to force life when it isn't able to live on it's own yet? Besides medical intervention for severely preterm neonates and abortion should be decided by the pregnant woman, her family and her doc - no one else should involved making those kind of personal and life changing decisions. The rest of us need mind our own reproductive business. ~Pro-Choice Momma; Have had an abortion and I have a 11 month old daughter . I believe in protecting my daughter's choice.

Donald asks‌
My child is two years old and Inguinal hernia has occurred.? If the operation is done, won't it cause any complications when the child grows up. I mean, will it cause infertility or other problems. Anyone who has information please help. Thank you!
admin answers: While complications are always a risk, they aren't a done deal... My brother had the same problem when he was an infant, and his daughter's first birthday is coming up in a couple of months. If the procedure is necessary (and this one is), there's no since worrying about the unknown. Jump off every bridge as you get to it, and enjoy what you have.

75 year old male having laparascopic left inguinal hernia repair? maybe bilateral august 29. Have some respiratory problems probably due to former very heavy smoking. ct scan report says "increase in lung volume & flattening of the hemidiaphragms & increase in retrostarnal airspace." but i do walk 3 miles daily in about 50-55 minutes. concerned with co2 inflation during surgery & its effect on compromised lungs. also with possible general anaesthesia problems. thanks for any help.
admin answers: Have the doctors discussed you you the risks and if they consider you to be high risk for having complications during the surgery? I suggest you ask lots of questions if you are concerned. I doubt you would find a specialist on here to tell you exactly what you are looking for. Also like anything else in life it is crap shoot. They never know if a person will have complications or not. They could have a young perfectly healthy person go in for minor surgery and not come out and then again have someone like my Mom who had everything under the sun wrong with her and come thru the surgeries fine.

I have an inguinal hernia. How soon should I get it fixed? It doesn't cause any pain or problems. It's just a very slight enlargement near the genital area.
admin answers: I'm glad it's not causing you any discomfort, but it's usually recommended that you get it repaired it at your earliest convenience. Untreated hernias generally get larger, and complications, though rare, happen: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/inguinal-hernia/DS00364/DSECTION=complications It's usually a same day surgery. Of course the best thing to do is consult your doctor.
