I'm about six months pregnant and recently felt a strong pain in my lower right back. When I went to the doctor, they did a urine test and told me I have 810 cells of pus in my uterus. Now I'm worried because they also said my baby and placenta are low because of this infection. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my pregnancy?

I'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?

A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.

I've been having trouble enjoying sex and reaching orgasm. It's becoming a bit frustrating. What can I do to make things more exciting and actually have a good orgasm with my partner?

Its important to communicate openly with your partner about your needs and desires. Exploring different forms of intimacy, such as foreplay or trying new positions, can help increase pleasure. If this persists, consulting a healthcare provider or therapist could be helpful to address any underlying factors.

Can we eat ice cream during periods?

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.
