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?

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 a bit concerned because my friend has told me there's been no physical relationship with his wife, but she claims they have and even mentioned being pregnant once. The pregnancy test was negative, though. Is there any kind of test that can determine a woman's virginity? If so, could you explain how that test works? I'm looking for some guidance on this, as it's a confusing situation for him.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and considering abortion. The doctor suggested surgical abortion but I'm wondering about the success rate of medical abortion and which medicines would be safe to use at this stage
At 6 weeks, surgical abortion is safer; medical abortion has 90–95% success—consult a gynecologist.

I'm a bit confused and hoping you can help. My wife is 16 weeks pregnant now and her first trimester scan at 8 weeks showed a normal single live intrauterine pregnancy. She's currently staying at her mom's and we're trying to figure out by when she should have the second trimester anomaly scan. We want to plan her return and schedule it properly. Also, with all the talk about the outdated MTP Act in our country, we just want to be on the safer side in case any serious complications arise. Could you advise on this?
The Anomaly scan (second trimester scan) is typically performed between 18-22 weeks of gestation, so your wife should plan to return and schedule the scan around 18-20 weeks, i.e., within the next 2-4 weeks.
