View allI'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?
A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.

I'm really worried because my 19-year-old girlfriend is pregnant and we're considering MTP tablets. What kind of pain should we expect, and is there anything we can do to help reduce it? I'm really concerned for her well-being, and I want to make sure shes as comfortable as possible. Can you provide any advice or information?
Yes, a 19-year-old girl can undergo Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) with the appropriate supervision of a healthcare provider. The pain experienced during the process can vary from person to person, but pain management options can be discussed with the healthcare provider. To help reduce pain, your girlfriend can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol. Additionally, the healthcare provider may prescribe medications like Mifepristone and Misoprostol for the procedure, which can help manage pain and discomfort.
