Can I use the 10% Betadine solution for a sitz bath to help with my episiotomy stitches? I was previously using the 5% solution, but now I only have the 10% one. Is it safe to continue with the sitz bath using this higher concentration? Im just worried if it might be too strong.

I found a moderate well-defined echo-free cyst in my right adnexa measuring 54mm x 36.8mm and the right ovary isn't visible because of it. There's no septa, calcification, or solid parts right now. Should I be worried about this? Do I need surgery or can it be managed with medicine?

A simple adnexal cyst without solid parts or septation is usually benign. Observation and follow-up scans are preferred unless symptoms worsen.

My wife has a bulgy uterus around 11.2 cm but no issues like bleeding or pain. The doctor recently removed her left ovary along with an ovarian cyst. She's had two C-sections. Should she still take medication for the bulgy uterus or are there other options we should consider?

A bulky uterus without symptoms doesn't always need treatment; monitoring or hormone therapy can help if needed, especially post-cyst removal and prior surgeries.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 4 months into her pregnancy and hasn't had a bowel movement in 4 days. Is this common, and what should we do?
