I had a C-section about four months ago and now I have these hard, painful lumps on my left hip. I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't. What could these be and should I be worried?

Hard, painful lumps on the hip four months after a C-section could be related to scar tissue, a hernia, or even endometriosis. While some lumps are normal post-surgery, persistent pain and lumps warrant medical evaluation. It's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried because I haven't had my period for the last 6 months, and I can feel something hard in my belly. I don't really feel any other symptoms, but back in January, I had typhoid and jaundice. Could this be related to that? I also had sex in November, but my missed period started before then. Is it possible that I might be pregnant, or could it be something else entirely?

I'm planning to get pregnant soon and I'm wondering if you could recommend a good brand of folic acid tablets? Also, when's the best time of day to take them?

As a doctor, I would recommend brands like "Folvite" or "Obstetrical Folic Acid" for folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. It's ideal to take the tablet in the morning with food to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of nausea.
