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 had laparoscopy surgery for an ectopic pregnancy 8 weeks ago and still haven't gotten my period yet. Is it safe to have intercourse now if we use protection? I'm not sure when it's okay to resume after this type of surgery

I developed a small cold on Wednesday and it's been keeping me up all night with coughing. This morning I woke up with pain in my lower abdomen every time I cough. I just got my period today, so I'm wondering if that's why it hurts. Could the coughing be related to my period cramps, or is it something else I should be concerned about?

Persistent coughing can be sometimes problematic which put pressure in your chest and abdomen also which can cause the pain.
