I'm really concerned about my mom. She's in a lot of pain in her abdomen and her menstrual bleeding is pretty heavy. Her hemoglobin level came back at 7.8 gm, which seems low. The sonography shows a bulky uterus. What could be causing all these symptoms? Do you think she might need surgery, or could it be treated with medication?

Can be indicative of conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In the case of fibroids or adenomyosis, medications such as Tranexamic acid can help with heavy menstrual bleeding. For pain relief, your mother can take Ibuprofen. If the symptoms are severe and affecting her quality of life, surgery may be considered. It is important to consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm really curious about whether oral contact with the vagina is actually healthy or if it might cause any health problems. Can engaging in this activity lead to any kind of issues?

Engaging in oral sex, including vaginal stimulation, is generally safe if both partners are healthy, consenting, and practice good hygiene. However, it can increase the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if proper precautions, such as using protection, are not taken. Maintaining personal hygiene and open communication with your partner is important for overall health and well-being.

I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant and I've got these annoying red rashes around my belly that are super itchy. Im not sure if theyre from using a razor or what. Is it safe for me to take levocet to help with this? And would it be okay to try just one dose, given I could be heading to the hospital for delivery any day now?

. For temporary relief, topical treatments like calamine lotion or a cool compress may be helpful, but make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider to get the most appropriate treatment.
