I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.

I'm curious if having my uterus removed could lead to heart disease or heart failure down the road. My ovaries are still there and functioning normally. Do I need to worry about any heart-related issues because of this?
Heart disease and heart failure can still occur even after the removal of the uterus as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. The risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity can still contribute to heart issues. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In case of any symptoms or concerns, medications like Aspirin and Statins can be prescribed to manage heart conditions.

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.
