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've noticed over the past year that my right labia minora has swollen and gotten bigger than it usually is. It's not painful, just feels sort of fat and bigger, which makes walking really uncomfortable for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Also, I've been getting painful acne on the softer skin in that area. Could this have anything to do with constipation? I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back to its normal size.
Possible Causes of Swollen Labia Minora:* 1. Vulvar edema (fluid retention) 2. Vulvovaginitis (inflammation) 3. Bartholin's gland cyst or abscess 4. Skin conditions (eczema, dermatitis) 5. Infections (yeast, bacterial, or viral) 6. Trauma or injury 7. Hormonal changes 8. Poor hygiene or irritation Restoring Normal Size:* 1. Consult a gynecologist or dermatologist for proper diagnosis. 2. Maintain good hygiene: gentle cleansing, avoid harsh soaps. 3. Wear breathable clothing and avoid tight underwear. 4. Apply cool compresses or warm baths for comfort. Treatment Options:* 1. Antibiotics or antifungals for infections 2. Anti-inflammatory medications 3. Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalance) 4. Surgical removal of cysts or abscesses (if necessary)

I'm about four months along in my pregnancy, and I've been dealing with a blocked nose since around the sixth week. On top of that, for the past week or so, I've developed a cough with mucus from my throat. My doctor recommended taking Taxim O 200 for five days, and I just finished the course. However, I'm still experiencing wheezing and chest congestion. In the past, I've taken Budamate 200 with my doctor monitoring, but I'm unsure now if using the inhaler is safe during pregnancy. Could you provide some guidance on this?
