View allI had a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration and my doctor prescribed freedase 30 for 21 days starting the day after surgery but I'm not sure why I need to take these tablets can you explain the reason for this medication after my procedure
Freedase 30, a combined hormonal contraceptive, is prescribed after a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration to help regulate menstrual cycles, potentially reduce heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), and manage acne. It may also help prevent pregnancy, although this is not the primary reason for the prescription in this case

I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy now, it just started on May 23rd, 2021, but I havent felt any baby movements for the last couple of days. I can hear the heartbeat though. Everything was fine in the 6th month with lots of movement. Should I be worried about the reduction in movements? What might be causing this?
Hi! It's great that you're hearing the baby's heartbeat, but a decrease in movements can sometimes indicate a need for medical attention. Please visit your doctor immediately to ensure everything is okay. They might do an ultrasound or other checks for reassurance.

I had an episiotomy during childbirth about 3.5 years ago, and since then, a large piece of flesh was accidentally cut. It took a really long time to heal. Around 1.5 years after delivery, I noticed a small gland about the size of a cumin seed, and that's where the pain started. It has grown a lot, and now it's about 2 inches long. The pain is constant and gets worse after my menstrual cycle. Could you advise on what might be going on and which consultant I should see? I'm a bit worried.
Dog Bite from Fully Vaccinated Dog _General Guidelines_ 1. _Low risk_: Since your dog is fully vaccinated, the risk of rabies transmission is low. 2. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)_: However, it's essential to take precautions to minimize the risk of rabies transmission. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Wash the wound_: Immediately wash the bite wound with soap and water. 2. _Apply antiseptic_: Apply an antiseptic cream or solution to the wound. 3. _Monitor your dog's behavior_: Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior for the next 10-14 days. If your dog shows any signs of illness or unusual behavior, seek veterinary attention immediately. 4. _Consult a doctor_: As a precautionary measure, consult a doctor to assess the risk of rabies transmission. They may recommend: a. _Observation_: Monitoring your condition for a few days to ensure no symptoms develop. b. _PEP_: Administering post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as a precautionary measure, although this is unlikely given your dog's vaccination status. _Rabies Vaccination_ 1. _Unlikely necessary_: Given your dog's full vaccination status, rabies vaccination for you is unlikely necessary.
