Hey, I had a C-section back in February. It's been almost 4 months, so I'm wondering when it'll be safe for me to start sleeping on my stomach again. I'm a bit concerned about doing it too soon, any advice?

View allI've been having this sudden, really sharp pain in my vagina that only lasts a few seconds, but it's happening at least once a day now. On top of that, I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my abdomen. My periods have been all over the place too; sometimes they skip a couple of months, and other times they're on time. It's kind of worrying, and I'm curious to know what's causing this stabbing painit's so intense it leaves me speechless for a moment. Is it like muscle contractions or something?
The sharp, stabbing pain youre experiencing could be due to ovarian cysts, pelvic muscle spasms, or hormonal fluctuations, especially considering your irregular periods. It's important to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough examination and possible imaging to determine the exact cause and manage your symptoms effectively.

I'm a bit confused about corpus luteum cysts. I read that they're connected to ovulation and menstruation, and nothing to do with being sexually active, but a gynecologist mentioned to me that it's not possible if you're not sexually active. Can you clarify how they actually develop?
not link with sexual activity.

Will 7 inches hit the cervix?
For starters, the cervix cannot be "penetrated" during sex. There is no way for a penis or sex toy to pass through the External Os because it's just too narrow.
