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

My baby's weight is 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Is this normal? What can I do to help increase the babys weight?

A baby weighing 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy is slightly below average but can still be normal, depending on overall growth patterns. To support healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein (like lentils, eggs, or dairy), iron, calcium, and essential vitamins. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor the baby's growth and ensure proper care.

I've been going through something a bit strange lately and just wanted to ask for some advice. So, I've been feeling this odd sensation in my vagina for the last few days. Initially, it was really itchy and I thought it might be a rash, but there wasn't any. And I know I don't have any STIs, so I figured maybe I had a yeast infection because, honestly, my hygiene hasn't been top-notch recently. But now the itching has stopped, which is good, but it still feels like there's something in there. It doesn't hurt or burn, and there's no bad smell or weird discharge, which is a bit confusing. It's not really affecting my daily life, but I'm kind of curious and a little worried about what it might be. Could this still be a yeast infection or do you think it's something else?

I've been diagnosed with a UTI and after some tests, they found an ovarian cyst measuring 42x40 mm. Should a cyst this size require surgery? I'm a bit worried and would like to understand my options better.

Small cysts measuring about 4 cms resolve by itself.Only large cyst about 5-10 requires surgery.
