Accepted Answer

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning.

To address this issue, I recommend the following steps:

*Diagnostic Tests*

1. *Urine Test*: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.
2. *Urethral Swab*: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge.

*STD Testing Centers in Pune*

Here are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested:

1. *National AIDS Research Institute (NARI)*: A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV.
    - Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026
    - Phone: 020-27121024
2. *Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic*: Offers free STD testing and treatment.
    - Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005
    - Phone: 020-25501000
3. *Private Labs*: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare.
    - These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections.

*Pre-Test Preparation*

Before visiting any testing center, it's essential to:

1. *Abstain from urination*: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results.
2. *Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics*: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results.

*Post-Test Care*

After the test, your cousin should:

1. *Follow the doctor's advice*: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments.
2. *Practice good hygiene*: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

Question 6

I recently had a c-section on the 11th of May, and I'm wondering if it's okay to wear a post-delivery belt around my abdomen while I sleep. Is it safe, or should I avoid it for now?

Accepted Answer

After a C-section, it's generally recommended to wait for at least 6-8 weeks before wearing a post-delivery belt, and even then, it's best to consult your doctor, but if you must wear one while sleeping, ensure it's not too tight, as this can put pressure on your abdomen and potentially disrupt the healing process.

I'm really struggling with typhoid fever, it's been 45 days, and I'm facing this issue whenever I take a bath, I become so weak afterward that I can barely move without help. I'm confused about whether I should keep bathing or not, because it seems to make me feel even more ill. What should I do?
