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 really confused about what's going on with my pregnancy. I've always had irregular periods, but my last one was on February 3rd. I used a pregnancy kit on April 3rd, and it said negative. Later, I checked again on April 26th, and it turned out positive. My doctor recommended a beta HCG test, which came back at 141.3 mIUml, and now they're saying I need to repeat the test in two days. I'm worried and unsure about whether this means I have a healthy pregnancy or if something's wrong. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
Yes after 48 hrs the beta hcg leves should be more than double of previos value then you can confirm you have a healthy pregnancy

Is there any way to get rid of a cyst without going through surgery? Also, what are some effective ways to manage really bad menstrual cramps?
Yes, there are various ways to manage or treat cysts without surgery. Many cysts, particularly ovarian cysts, will resolve on their own, especially if they are benign. Other cyst types, like sebaceous cysts, may be treated with heat compresses or steroid injections to reduce inflammation. For menstrual cramps, heat therapy, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief
