Question 1

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_

1. _Low risk_: Since your dog is fully vaccinated, the risk of rabies transmission is low.
2. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)_: However, it's essential to take precautions to minimize the risk of rabies transmission.

_Recommended Actions_

1. _Wash the wound_: Immediately wash the bite wound with soap and water.
2. _Apply antiseptic_: Apply an antiseptic cream or solution to the wound.
3. _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.
4. _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_

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

Sounds like you are experiencing a medical abortion using medication. It is important to follow the correct dosage and administration guidelines for these medications.
