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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm really worried and need some advice. I'm 20 years old and usually my period starts between the 20th and 25th of each month. This time, I had unprotected sex on the 20th of March and took an Unwanted 72 pill on the 21st, but my period still hasn't started, and it's already April 8th. I'm really stressed out about the possibility of being pregnant because I don't think I can handle a pregnancy right now, and I definitely can't tell my parents. Should I take a pregnancy test? And if it turns out I'm pregnant, what options would be available to me?
do UPT

Is it possible to have your period 3 times a month?
Stress, usage of birth control pills, PCOS , are few reasons for menstrual disturbances. Imbalances in the hormonal secretion may result in period disorders as well. The primary hormones contributing to having a period three times a month include female sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Other than these, higher testosterone levels can also result in period 3 times in one month. Furthermore, anomalies in Thyroid levels may result in irregular periods as well.

I'm wondering about the safety of using an expired lubricating gel like Lubic Jelly with my wife. It expired back in December 2018, and we don't have sex very often. Is it still okay to use it, or should we be concerned about any potential risks?
Using expired lubricating gel is not recommended, as it may lose its effectiveness and could potentially cause irritation or infections. For both your safety, it's best to discard the expired product and replace it with a new one.
