I had an injection last July for an abortion, and ever since, I've been feeling pain at the injection site on my butt. A few days later, I noticed a hard lump where the injection was given, and it's been there for 8 months now. I'm really worried if this could be something dangerous. Can you let me know what's going on?

After an injection for abortion, it is possible to develop a lump at the injection site. This is known as an injection site reaction. In most cases, these lumps are not dangerous and can take some time to resolve on their own. However, if the lump persists for 8 months, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any potential complications. You can try using a warm compress on the area to help reduce the lump. If the lump is causing pain or continues to grow, you may need further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any discomfort.

I've been struggling with painful intercourse with my husband it feels like hitting a wall no matter how many times we try. We've used different lubricants and gels, but nothing helps. Is there any medical procedure or surgery to help enlarge or break the hymen so we can have successful intercourse?

If painful intercourse is caused by a restrictive hymen, a medical procedure called a hymenotomy can be performed to break or enlarge the hymen. This procedure can help to alleviate pain and make intercourse more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this is the root cause of the pain and to discuss whether a hymenotomy is appropriate for you. There may also be other medical or psychological factors contributing to the pain, so a thorough evaluation is crucial.
