I had diarrhea on September 2nd and took a 4mg Imodium tablet at night. Since yesterday, my bowel movements have completely stopped. I'm also experiencing burning and itching in my vaginal area, and there's a thick white discharge. Could this be related to the diarrhea or the Imodium tablet? Are there any OTC medicines or creams I could try for this?

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?

You may resume dance 4‚Äì6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.

My wife has a bulgy uterus around 11.2 cm but no issues like bleeding or pain. The doctor recently removed her left ovary along with an ovarian cyst. She's had two C-sections. Should she still take medication for the bulgy uterus or are there other options we should consider?

A bulky uterus without symptoms doesn't always need treatment; monitoring or hormone therapy can help if needed, especially post-cyst removal and prior surgeries.
