I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?

Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin

I've been dealing with PCOD and have been on Krimson for about 3 years now. My recent ultrasound shows a right ovary measuring 4.1 x 3 x 2.5 with a volume of 15.8 cc, and the left ovary is 3.5 x 2.4 x 2.3 with a 10.2 cc volume. I'm really wondering if I should keep taking Krimson. Is there anything else I can do to improve this situation?
