I'm really concerned because post-pregnancy, I'm dealing with a fungal infection and blood in my stool. My doctor prescribed me to look at cream and itaspor for the fungal issue and proctosedyl for the piles. I'm also taking iron and calcium tablets. I'm confused and worried because someone mentioned that I shouldn't use proctosedyl while having a fungal infection. Can I use them both at the same time, or should I be avoiding it?

I've been having really bad menstrual cramps and backaches, and I feel so much body ache about a week before my period even starts. It's gotten to the point where I can hardly walk because of the pain, and for three days, I can't sleep or even eat properly. I end up taking Meftal Spas when it just gets too much to handle. Is there anything else I can do to manage or maybe even reduce this pain?

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I've been taking supplements like iron, calcium, DHA, and Nutricel. I'm curious if lignocaine and lidocaine are the same thing. Also, is it safe to use lignocaine for a perineum massage at this stage of my pregnancy? I'm a bit worried about it.
