I'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.

View allI'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,

I've been pregnant for 6 weeks now, and for the last 34 days, every time I eat, I end up vomiting. I've been taking the pregnidoxin medicine once a day, but it just doesn't seem to be working anymore. The vomiting starts just half an hour after eating. Could it be that I'm eating too much, or is there something else going on?
vomiting in pregnancy is normal
