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.

View allI've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?
Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.

My mom has stage 3c ovarian cancer and has done 3 chemo cycles but it doesn't seem to be working well. She's down to just 27kg and one doctor suggested debulking surgery. I'm really concerned how risky would surgery be at her current weight and what are her chances of pulling through
Debulking surgery at 27kg in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer presents significant risks, but also potentially offers a chance at better outcomes. While the surgery itself is risky due to the patient's weakened state, it could reduce the tumor burden and potentially improve response to subsequent chemotherapy. The decision should be made after careful consideration of all factors, including the patient's overall health, the extent of the cancer, and the potential benefits of surgery.

The average weight of a baby at the fourth month of pregnancy is around 190-210 grams. It is important to ensure proper nutrition and prenatal care to support the healthy growth and development of the baby.
