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'm really worried because I took the meningitis B vaccine last month, and soon after I got really sick and had to go to the hospital. I'm 18, and on top of it all, my menstrual cycle seems delayed. I did a pregnancy test and it was negative, so I'm trying to figure out if the vaccine could be affecting my period. Is that a possibility?

I'm a breastfeeding mom and have been feeling pain in my legs for the past three days. The pain gets worse when I'm running, and I'm wondering if it could be due to a calcium or vitamin deficiency. It seems to be better when I'm resting. Can you help advise on what might be going on?

I'm really worried because I've been having a lot of pain on the left side of my stomach and irregular periods for about a year now. I recently had an ovary scan and they found follicles. It's been really tough dealing with this pain and I'm not sure what to do. Is there any way to decrease the pain and the number of follicles? I'm looking for a more permanent solution, if possible.
