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 dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?
Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person. Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms. However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years. In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon. Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced. It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.
