I'm really concerned about my cousin who had a C-section about 6 months ago. She's been having a lot of back pain and it's worrying. Another cousin, who also had a C-section a few years back, is experiencing similar issues with her back. And on top of that, she's been working out regularly but just can't seem to get rid of the flabby belly fat above the C-section scar. Her whole body looks fit except for that tummy area, which bulges out. Can you explain why these issues happen after a C-section and suggest some solutions?

I'm five months pregnant and recently had an accident that caused jaw fractures I had surgery and now my teeth are broken so I'm stuck on liquids and soft foods. I'm worried this diet won't give my baby enough nutrients to grow properly. What foods can I eat to make sure my baby stays healthy even with these restrictions?

Soft foods like mashed pulses, smoothies, and fortified milk can ensure nutrition for your baby during recovery.

I'm 16 and sometimes sexually active, but not always. I just started feeling an itch in my vagina yesterday, and today I noticed it's coming from this extra piece of skin on the right side. I'm really uncomfortable about it and not sure how to talk to my mom. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

You may have developed a vaginal skin tag, which can sometimes occur due to friction or hormonal changes. It's important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to confirm the diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
