Blood clots, when they are small and only occasional, is common and normal on heavy flow volume days. If blood clots are big (larger than quarter) and occur frequently then there might be any underlying medical conditions such as fibriods, endometriosis, adenomyosis, perimenopasue, menopause, stress, weight gain and blood dyscrasias.

I'm really concerned about my cousin who had a C-section about 6 months ago. She's been having a lot of back pain and it's worrying. Another cousin, who also had a C-section a few years back, is experiencing similar issues with her back. And on top of that, she's been working out regularly but just can't seem to get rid of the flabby belly fat above the C-section scar. Her whole body looks fit except for that tummy area, which bulges out. Can you explain why these issues happen after a C-section and suggest some solutions?

I've been diagnosed with an endometriotic cyst that's over 3 cm, and I've been on Ovral L for a few months. Now, the cyst's size has decreased to 2.5 x 1.5 cm. My doctor is suggesting I should consider early marriage and pregnancy. Is that really the only option I have? If I delay this, could I face infertility issues down the road, or are there any other complications I should be aware of?

I'm curious about whether it's safe to do fingering during pregnancy and what precautions I should be aware of. Also, is it okay to have oral sex during this time? Just want to make sure everything's safe for the baby.
