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.

I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.

I'm considering using pills for abortion and I'm worried about whether I'll face any problems in the future because of it. Could you tell me if it's a good or bad idea? Please help me out.

Abortion with pills (medical abortion) is generally safe when done under medical supervision and within the recommended timeframe (usually up to 10 weeks of pregnancy). However, its crucial to consult a doctor to ensure it's appropriate for your health, avoid complications, and receive proper guidance for care afterward.
