Question

I recently had a c-section on the 11th of May, and I'm wondering if it's okay to wear a post-delivery belt around my abdomen while I sleep. Is it safe, or should I avoid it for now?

After a C-section, it's generally recommended to wait for at least 6-8 weeks before wearing a post-delivery belt, and even then, it's best to consult your doctor, but if you must wear one while sleeping, ensure it's not too tight, as this can put pressure on your abdomen and potentially disrupt the healing process.

Question

I'm experiencing some worrying symptoms with my menstrual cycle. During the time I usually have my period, I'm not getting my normal blood flow. Instead, there's this white waxy discharge, and it's also really itchy around that area. Along with that, I have some abdominal pain and redness. My menstrual cycle seems abnormal, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could these symptoms be connected, and what might this white waxy discharge indicate?

Question

I've been dealing with really intense pain every month, and I usually rely on Maftal Spas tablets to help manage it. But honestly, even with the medication, it still hurts a lot. Is there any way to reduce or even minimize the pain? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
