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 just started the medications and took one injection yesterday, but the brown discharge hasn't stopped. I'm really worried about my pregnancy. The sonography confirms I'm pregnant, but what's causing this brown discharge?
