I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and I've been having a really hard time with constipation. Drinking a lot of water doesn't seem to help much. Even when I take 15ml of Duphalac syrup at night, I'm still struggling to pass stool and have to push really hard. Are there any home remedies or other suggestions you could give me to help with this?

I'm a bit concerned because I had my baby girl via c-section on June 28th, and now it's been 12 weeks, but I'm experiencing this brown watery discharge. It seems to happen quite often, and I'm wondering if this is normal or something that might be hinting at an infection?

Can drinking turmeric water really help prevent pregnancy or any pregnancy complications? I'm curious if it's something that could actually be effective or if there are any risks involved.

Turmeric water is not a reliable method for preventing pregnancy. It does not have any contraceptive properties. If you are looking for effective contraception, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss suitable options such as birth control pills, condoms, or intrauterine devices.

I'm a 24-year-old woman dealing with some issues that are really worrying me. I've been in a stable relationship for quite a while and have been sexually active for about six years. Usually, everything's okay after sex, but sometimes, two days later, I get really painful vaginal discomfort. It's not all the time, but it's been happening more often. Also, my periods last for about 12 days, which feels longer than usual, and I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I've been on homeopathic treatment for six months. About ten days ago, I had intercourse and have been in severe pain ever since. It's been lingering for the past eight days, and I'm really struggling. What do you suggest I do at this point? It's becoming really tough to handle.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Persistent vaginal pain after sex could indicate an infection, irritation, or underlying issue like PCOS-related hormonal changes. Please consult a gynecologist promptly for an evaluation, as timely care is essential for your comfort and health.
