Question

I'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.

Question

I'm a 21-year-old female and I'm having some issues that have me a bit worried. I've been getting these cramps and pain in the lower part of my uterusstomach even when I'm not on my period. Sometimes when I pee, it feels like a burning sensation, and there's this pain that comes and goes in my kidneys. All this seems to happen after I masturbate. Also, when I get aroused, my vagina contracts, and then afterward, the pain kicks in. What could be causing this?
