I just had a baby 5 months ago through surgery at a government hospital and I want to breastfeed for 6 months. Can I get a medical certificate to extend my leave? I have my baby's birth certificate but not sure how the process works for getting the certificate. Can you explain what I need to do?

I'm really curious about thisis there a specific type of vaginal discharge that should prompt me to see a gynecologist? I've heard from some people that it's normal to have discharge, but I just want to be sure.

Tingling in hands and feet*: Could indicate nerve damage or neuropathy. - *Weakness*: May be related to various factors, including nutritional deficiencies, nerve damage, or underlying medical conditions. - *Frequent urination (3-4 times)*: Could be a sign of urinary tract issues, diabetes, or other medical conditions. To better understand your symptoms, I recommend: 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., neurologist or urologist) to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Provide detailed medical history*: Share your medical history, including any pre-existing conditions, medications, and supplements. 3. *Undergo diagnostic tests*: Your doctor may recommend tests, such as blood work, urinalysis, nerve conduction studies, or imaging tests, to help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
