Should I Terminate Pregnancy After Taking Isotretinoin for 2 Months?

Patient's Query

Femal 40 years was on isoretenoin 20 mg for 2 months, she discovered her pregnancy on 4/6/2025 about 15 days post conception , should this pregnancy be terminated

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Discovering a pregnancy while taking isotretinoin can be concerning. Isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects if taken during pregnancy. In fact, it's crucial to stop taking it immediately and speak with your gynecologist. They will assess the situation and may recommend monitoring the pregnancy closely for any potential issues. It's important to be honest about the medication you've been taking to ensure the best care for you and your baby.

I want to ask that my mother has been surged due to cyst and I want to confirm that uterus has been out

Female | 35

If the uterus has been removed, it's called a hysterectomy. Symptoms of cysts can include pelvic pain or irregular periods. One of the conditions that can cause a hysterectomy is cysts on the ovaries. You can confirm the removal of the uterus by asking the surgeon who performed the procedure. The doctor's explanation will be thorough. Follow your doctor's instructions closely regarding post-surgery care.

Female | 20

Heavy menstrual bleeding and fatigue may indicate anemia. Anemia causes weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and headache. Iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and red meat can help. See a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. There are medications and surgeries available to treat heavy bleeding. Ignoring the symptoms can lead to more severe complications.

Today I took a pregnancy test and I got very very faint line .. does it mean pregnancy.. plus I am having cramps since morning.. and also feeling dizzy from 4 days

Female | 27

A very faint line on a pregnancy test could indicate a positive result, as even a faint line can suggest the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG. Cramps and dizziness can be associated with early pregnancy, but they can also have other causes. To get a clearer understanding, consider retesting in a few days

Maam I'm 7 weeks pregnant, l had consumed hing in pomogranate seed size, is it danger or I will det miscarriage? I am afraid of tat plz reply to me

Female | 20

Consuming asafoetida, even in pomegranate seed size, is generally safe during pregnancy. It's a little bit impossible to miscarry this one. In case you feel strange such as having intense belly pains, a lot of blood including stains, or giddiness, you must seek help from your health doctor. Seek peace and avoid being too anxious. Your body is strong and small amounts of asafoetida can be tolerated. A balanced diet and your doctor's advice for a healthy pregnancy are still the things you should remember.
