How long does menopause weight gain last?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

There are few persons who believe that, the ovary of the right side yields ova which on fertilization develop as males, and the ovary of the left side yields ova which are potentially female but it is not scientifically proven. Development of female or male child depends on chromosome (X or Y) from father's sperm.

My vaginal opening is really tight and sex is painful when trying to insert. The doctor mentioned I might need a minor procedure, but I'm wondering if there are other options like medications or non-surgical treatments that could help first
Vaginismus is an involuntary tensing of the vagina. People experience it at the start of sex, while inserting a tampon or while getting a pelvic exam. Vaginismus can make intercourse painful (dyspareunia). Kegels, vaginal dilators and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help relax muscles and stop spasms.

I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?
It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.
