I'm in my second trimester and I'm thinking about starting to use something for moisturizing my skin to prevent stretch marks. Is Bio Oil safe to use during pregnancy? Could it harm the baby or cause any birth defects? I'm a little concerned and would love some guidance.

Question

I'm really concerned because my breasts are quite small, and I'm dealing with some discharge and itching issues. It's making me really sad, and I'm wondering what I can do about it. Could these symptoms mean something serious, or is there a way to address both problems?

Question

I'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?

Question

I'm dealing with some pretty heavy and long-lasting bleeding because of my PCOS, and my gynecologist recommended I start taking Diane35 tablets. I'm on my second strip of pills now, and I typically begin with the first tablet in the pack from the fifth day of my period, and then I wait for my cycle to start again once I finish the strip. I've been doing regular walking exercisesabout 45 to 60 minutes, five times a week. But I've noticed that my weight has gone up by 2 kgs in the last two monthsfrom 68 to 70 kgs. My height is 5'4". Could Diane35 be causing this weight gain?
