Question

I'm really concerned about my episiotomyit still causes me pain, even though it's been three years since I gave birth. It's particularly uncomfortable during my periods and when I'm having intercourse. Should I be worried that this pain hasn't gone away, and is there anything I can do to relieve it?

Episiotomy incision involves the wall of the vagina. Generally, the wall of the vagina is strong, but post surgical intervention, it may weaken. It is important to maintain vaginal wall muscle strength through Kegel's Exercises. Do these everyday to improve muscle strength. If the pain persists, please visit a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Question

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Question

I'm really worried because just a few days after my period ended, I started having this burning sensation when I pee. Shortly after, I began experiencing itching around my vulva, and then the usual white discharge appeared, looking like small pieces of cottage cheese. I've been hearing that PCOD could be causing the white discharge, and I've been dealing with PCOD for about three years now. This seems to be happening every month, and even though I'm keeping up with hygiene, it's really frustrating me. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
