I had a myomectomy surgery five months ago to remove fibroids and now I'm trying to conceive. Recently, I got a follicular scan done on day 10 of my cycle, and the report showed echogenic endometrium. What does echogenic endometrium mean? Does it indicate my uterus hasn't fully healed yet? My endometrium thickness was 8.2mm is that normal for this stage?

An "echogenic endometrium" on a follicular scan means the uterine lining appears brighter or more reflective on ultrasound, indicating it may have some tissue or structures that are not typically present at that stage of the menstrual cycle. While a 5-month period is generally considered a sufficient healing time after myomectomy, the uterus is still recovering, and an echogenic endometrium could be linked to residual scarring or tissue changes from the surgery. An 8.2mm endometrium thickness at day 10 of your cycle is generally considered within the normal range for this stage.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She started having sudden shivering at night, and it's the third day of her monthly period. There's no fever, so I gave her hot milk and a 650 mg dose of paracetamol. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. Could it be related to her period, or is there something else going on?

Shivering may be caused due to hormonal imbalance or dehydration and muscle cramps. It is advisable to get a blood test done for safety, but there should be no major cause for concern.

I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?

Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin
