Dear Patient,

Thank you for your query. It's always better to ask your doctor about the purpose of any injection or treatment as they are the ones aware of your medical history. Dexa injections are important for the lung maturation of your child. Often this is recommended to women in at-risk pregnancies. If your doctor has advised it there's no harm in getting it.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Gynecologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
