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.

View allI'm a little worried because for the past 23 months, my periods havent been normal. There's only a tiny bit of bleeding, not the usual red blood, and it only lasts for a couple of days. Plus, I'm not experiencing the stomach aches that I used to get. Could this be related to PCOD or something to do with infertility?
Irregular periods, light bleeding, and reduced stomach cramps can be symptoms of various conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD). These hormonal disorders can disrupt ovulation, leading to irregular periods, infertility, and other symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and weight gain. Other possible causes include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or stress. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if you're concerned about infertility or other related health issues.

I'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?
Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,

A 1.2 cm endometrioma may not shrink significantly with meds; surgery is preferred if pain or infertility is present.
