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 got this lump on my right breast and was told to take simrose tablets as it's supposed to be normal. But now there's another lump, and it hurts when I sleep because I lie on my breast. Should I be thinking about removing the fibroid? Who should I talk to about this, especially since I'm new in the city?

Given the recurrence of breast lumps and associated pain, especially with pressure, consult ageneral surgeon in your new city for a thorough evaluation, including a clinical breast examination, ultrasound, or mammography, to determine the nature of the lumps and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include fibroadenoma removal or other interventions

I'm really worried and need some advice. So, last month on the 24th, my boyfriend fingered me, and I'm not sure if he had precum on his hands or not. It could have been there about 10 minutes before when he got it, but then we fooled around for 10 more minutes before he actually put his finger in my vagina. He didn't ejaculate, but I guess there might have been a chance of precum. Anyway, my periods have always been irregular, but now it's been delayed for like 15 days. My last period was also late by 14 days, and I've taken a pregnancy test on the 11th, which was negative. I was supposed to get my period on the 4th of this month, but instead, there was just some light brown spotting on the 14th. On top of that, I was losing a lot of hair a month ago and had sudden weight gain about 2 years back. I don't feel weak or nauseous and there's no constipation, frequent urination, vomiting, or exhaustion, just some lower back pain that comes and goes. Could I still be pregnant even though the test was negative, or could something else be going on? I'm kind of freaking out and would really appreciate your advice.

There is no risk of pregnancy in this scenario you can ignore if and visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management
