dear dr, my wife is 3 months pregnant. during the last scanning,the doctor said that the blood flow to the uterus is a bit low. so he advised aspirin tab alongwith calcium and iron tabs.but after the lupus anti coagulant screen test and cardio lipin test at ranbaxy lab , he suggested that she should follow Heparin injection daily for 34 weeks ie till pregnancy.is that genuine? we are confused pls give a solution..
Hi. Yes, heparin will help thin the blood and improve the blood flow to the placenta, so yes, this is correct, and please do not hesitate to take any treatment advised by your doctor. Best wishes.
