Is a torn ligament a strain?

No, a torn ligament is a sprain. A sprain can happen when a ligament is overstretched. It can be caused by a twist or wrench. So a twisted ankle is a sprained ankle. A strain refers to when you tear or overstretch a muscle or tendon (which attach muscles to bones). This can be caused by a sudden stretch or extra effort. So a pulled hamstring is a strained hamstring.


Why should you drink water and lay on left side when in premature labor?

Sometimes dehydration can cause preterm labor. My last 2 were trying to come early and the first thing they did was to give me an IV to make sure I was not dehydrated. As for the right side, it is for the same reason they tell you it is healthier to sleep on the right side during pregnancy..... it is easier for your heart. There is less strain. I always would breathe easier on the right side, too.

Is pregnancy cause gain weight?

Yes, this is normal. The amount of weight-gain will vary. If you were of an average weight before you became pregnant, you will probably gain about 25-30 lbs. during your pregnancy; if you are expecting twins, that number will be higher-- 35-45 lbs. The weight a woman gains during pregnancy usually will come off gradually, through diet and exercise, after the baby is born and her body recovers. Celebrities who seem to be extremely thin days after giving birth are not the norm; and doctors generally do not recommend extreme weight loss measures after a pregnancy.


I am pregnant and i have a burning sensation when urinating and in small amounts and i frequently need to go to the bathroom oh i am 11 weeks pregnant?

It sounds as if you have a very typical bladder infection, which I think is common in pregnancy because the baby is pressing on the bladder and there is just general strain on your body. I think you would just need to take something that would clear up a bladder infection, but make sure it's safe to take during pregnancy. Hope you get better soon and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. :)


Why are semiconductor strain gauges more sensitive than metal strain gauges?
