I recently had a c-section on the 11th of May, and I'm wondering if it's okay to wear a post-delivery belt around my abdomen while I sleep. Is it safe, or should I avoid it for now?

After a C-section, it's generally recommended to wait for at least 6-8 weeks before wearing a post-delivery belt, and even then, it's best to consult your doctor, but if you must wear one while sleeping, ensure it's not too tight, as this can put pressure on your abdomen and potentially disrupt the healing process.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I was on Duphaston 10mg once a day from the 15th to the 28th day of my cycle. After that, I did a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. I even got a Beta HCG test on the 28th day, which was also negative, and another urine pregnancy test on the 32nd day, and it was negative again. Normally, my cycle is pretty regular at 27-28 days. So now Im wondering, how many days after stopping Duphaston should I expect my period to start?

After stopping Duphaston, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, as Duphaston is a progesterone medication that regulates menstrual cycles, and its withdrawal typically triggers menstruation; given your regular 27-28 day cycle, you may experience your period around 3-5 days after stopping Duphaston, but this can vary from person to person.

My period is 15 days late and I'm really worried. Also, I had vaginal tightlipped surgery 23 years ago because of a personal issue could this be causing any problems like cysts or other effects on my vagina? I'm really concerned about my sensitive area
