I'm a bit concerned because I started bleeding for about 5 days after a dilation and curettage, then it stopped for 3 days, but now it's started again, and the bleeding is brown. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Bleeding 5 days after a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is common, and the subsequent stoppage for 3 days followed by brown-colored bleeding could be due to hormonal changes, uterine lining shedding, or minor spotting

I experienced a miscarriage after my first pregnancy at around 3 months due to bleeding, which really concerned me. Now, after four years of marriage, I'm pregnant again and currently at 7 weeks. My doctor recommended I take Loprin 75mg during this pregnancy. I'm a bit worried and want to understandis this medication safe for me and the baby? Would love to know what it does exactly and if it's really necessary.

My wife and I got married last month but we haven't been able to have sex because her hymen is too thick. Every time we try, it's really painful for her. We've tried multiple times but it's not working. Is there a specialist who can help remove or break the hymen surgically or through some other procedure?

please consult your gynecologist.

I have a 13.3 mm secretory hyperplastic endometrium and two myomas one anterior subserous 31x24 mm and another posterior panmural 76x68 mm. The myometrial-endometrial interface is intact, and my cervix is normal. There's a 21 mm dominant follicle in my right ovary with a corpus luteum, and my ovaries measure 38x21 mm (right) and 31x17 mm (left). No free fluid in the adnexae, but some in the POD. My doctor is recommending surgery are there any alternatives I can consider?

Myomas more than 5cm are theorically better to b removed.. More so if u have menstrual disturbances or difficulty in getting pregnant
