I'm curious about how long it generally takes to recover after having a C-section. I'm also wondering if it's safe to begin using a maternity belt to support my abdomen during the recovery process.

After a C-section delivery, it typically takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover. During this time, it is important to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow your doctor's post-operative instructions. You can use a maternity belt to support your abdomen and help with pain relief. It is recommended to wear the maternity belt for about 4-6 weeks post-delivery to provide support to the abdominal muscles.

How painful is hymen repair surgery and how long does recovery usually take? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect in terms of pain and downtime. Does it require general anesthesia or is local enough? Also, will I need to take time off work or avoid certain activities during healing?

Hymenoplasty is usually done under local anesthesia with mild discomfort post-op. Recovery takes about a week; you may need to avoid physical exertion during healing.

I'm kind of worried because my friend had unprotected sex with her boyfriend yesterday around 5 pm. Here's what's making her nervous her boyfriend masturbated and ejaculated first, and then just a few minutes later, like 3 to 5 minutes, they had sex. He wiped off his penis with a cloth before they did it, and this time he didnt ejaculate during or after sex. But she's freaked out there could be a chance of getting pregnant because of potential pre-cum. She's debating whether she should take the i-pill, but isn't sure if it's necessary. If she does take it, what should she expect in terms of side effects? It's her first time dealing with all this.
