I had an episiotomy during childbirth about 3.5 years ago, and since then, a large piece of flesh was accidentally cut. It took a really long time to heal. Around 1.5 years after delivery, I noticed a small gland about the size of a cumin seed, and that's where the pain started. It has grown a lot, and now it's about 2 inches long. The pain is constant and gets worse after my menstrual cycle. Could you advise on what might be going on and which consultant I should see? I'm a bit worried.

Dog Bite from Fully Vaccinated Dog

General Guidelines

Low risk: Since your dog is fully vaccinated, the risk of rabies transmission is low.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP): However, it's essential to take precautions to minimize the risk of rabies transmission.

Recommended Actions

Wash the wound: Immediately wash the bite wound with soap and water.

Apply antiseptic: Apply an antiseptic cream or solution to the wound.

Monitor your dog's behavior: Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior for the next 10-14 days. If your dog shows any signs of illness or unusual behavior, seek veterinary attention immediately.

Consult a doctor: As a precautionary measure, consult a doctor to assess the risk of rabies transmission. They may recommend:

a. Observation: Monitoring your condition for a few days to ensure no symptoms develop. b. PEP: Administering post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as a precautionary measure, although this is unlikely given your dog's vaccination status.

Rabies Vaccination

Unlikely necessary: Given your dog's full vaccination status, rabies vaccination for you is unlikely necessary.

I'm a bit worried because my boyfriend and I were having dry sex, and he ejaculated in his pants while he still had his underwear on. I noticed my shorts felt wet too, maybe from the semen. Should I be concerned about the chance of getting pregnant? And should I consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill? If I do, what might that do to my menstrual cycle or what side effects could it have?

if you are in 10th day to 20th day of your menstrual cycle , take ipill.

I've been having delayed periods, and my last one was on February 6th. I took a pregnancy test on March 19th, and it came back negative. My doctor suggested taking Cyclenorm E and P for two days, three times a day, which I started on March 20th. But its now March 24th, and I still havent gotten my period. There's just a little spotting. I'm kind of worried. What should I do about this?

I've been diagnosed with a cornual block in my right Fallopian tube and I'm really worried about it. What are my treatment options if I want to avoid surgery? Are there any medications or non-surgical procedures that could help clear the blockage?

For a cornual block in a right fallopian tube, non-surgical options like tubal cannulation, hysteroscopic surgery, and fertility treatments like IVF can be explored to avoid surgery. Tubal cannulation involves threading a catheter into the blocked tube to clear it, while hysteroscopic surgery uses a thin, lighted device inserted through the cervix to access and potentially remove the blockage. If surgical intervention is not possible or successful, fertility treatments like IVF can bypass the blocked tubes
