Nearly two-thirds of women who
want to have children would, if nec-
essary. try “test-tube" fertilization
But far fewer would choose either
embryo transfers (31 percent) or a
surrogate mother (20 percent)

DEAR DR GOTT A friend was
pregnant in the Fallopian tube She
had surgery Was there a chance the
baby could have grown normally?
DEAR READER No In order for a
fertilized ovum <egg) to develop into a
fetus, it must implant on suitable ter-
ritory; that is, the uterine lining
Occasionally, the embryo becomes
attached at an inappropriate place,
such as in the Fallopian tube
Ordinarily, fertilization occurs at
the fringed beginning of the Fallopian
tube, a long muscular pipe that con-
nects the ovary to the uterus (Every
woman is born with two ovaries and
two Fallopian tubes, the ovaries al-
ternate each month in producing a
mature ovum.)
The fertilized egg then begins to di-
vide and, while dividing and growing,
passes the length oi the Fallopian
tube and eventually adheres to the
uterine lining where it matures
For unknown reasons, the fertilized
egg may prematurely adhere to the
lining of the Fallopian tube In many
cases, however, this is due to chronic
scarring of the tube. Known as a tubal
pregnancy, this situation is serious
because the Fallopian tube is not
adapted to sustain growth of the fetus
It can break, causing hemorrhage and
shock
In tubal pregnancy, surgery is nec-
essary to remove the product of con-
ception and. if indicated, to repair the
tube <
The diagnosis of tubal pregnancy-
can be difficult Abdominal pain, posi-
tive pregnancy tests and an abdomi-
nal mass are the cardinal signs How-
ever. laparotomy (surgical
exploration of the abdominal cavity)
may be necessary to diagnose the con-
dition and treat it.
Some women appear to be particu-
larly susceptible to tubal pregnan-

condition of the tubes when they re-

DEAR DR GOTT My sister is 21
and two months pregnant She has
chicken pox What can this do to her
baby?
DEAR READER This could be a
'problem Varicella-zoster virus, the
cause of chicken pox, has been known
to cross from the mother's circula-
tion. through the placenta into the de-
veloping fetus. Serious damage to the
infant can result This is. however, un-
usual Most pregnant women, who
contract chicken pox deliver perfect
ly normal babies Nonetheless, the
risk is present I urge your sister to be
examined by specialists at a teaching
center These super-obstetricians will
be able to test your sister and advise
her further
DEAR DR GOTT I have been a
frequent flyer for many years When I
first started flying, I bad severe pain
in both ears I tried swallowing, gum
yawning, holding my nose and every-
thing “lse anyone suggested Then T
tried Sudafed and it really works I
hope this suggestion helps others with
a similar problem
DEAR READER Thank you for
sharing your experience
Sudafed is one of several over-the-
counter antihistamine decongestant
medicines that are useful in prevent-
ing aero-otitis, the pressure boild-up
in the ears that results from rapid
changes in environmental pressure
These compounds work by reducing
congestion and tissue swelling at the
openings of the Eustachian tubes, the
channels venting each middle ear
compartment Once the ears can vent,
pressure levels within them will
equalize with the environmental
pressure.
Remember that even sudafed may
not help you if you choose to fly when
you have a cold or hay fever

dear dr gott My 15-year-oid
son had a shunt put in in 1991 and an-
other in 1984 Things have been touch
and go ever since Now he gets hot and
cold spells, becomes sick to his stom-
foams at the mouth Doctors
So far I’ve spent
doctor bills, and I am on a
ach>nd foams at tl
sefm unconcerned
J19.000 oh doctor bi
very limited income Can you give
any advice?
DEAR READER Not without
knowing what was shunted and why
Shunts to relieve pressure an the
brain from an excess of cerebrospinal
fluid (hydrocephalus) can plug up or
function deficiently This cao result in
headaches, visual difficulties, weird
feelings and convulsions, among other
symptoms
Your son may be helped by medi-
cine if further surgery is not indicat-
ed Ash for specific guidance from the
surgeon who performed the shunt
operations

Last Sunday morning at 9:30
Holly Watson left home!
Ii wasn’t the first time. It happens
almost every week.
You see. Holly spends Sunday
morning with several other kids
her age at the Lake Highlands
Baptist Church. Her parents don't
let Holly go off by herself. They
take her.
Holly loves every minute of it.
And her Mom and Dad love it too.
Not just because of the way Holly
is growing. But because of the
way the church helps the whole
family stay closer together.
Maybe you should think about
leaving home next Sunday
morning! If you do, bring the
whole family.
