Question 1

Our patient was told to take chymoral forte three times a day after her ovarian removal surgery. Now she's feeling really nauseous and dizzy when she tries to get out of bed. Do you think it's okay if we stop the medication for a day to see if these are side effects?

Accepted Answer

Chymoral is not that essential drug so yes u can stop it for a day.
Majority of the drugs have nausea vomiting as their side effects which manifest in different people variably.

Question 2

I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to travel. If I can, would it be better to go by road or take a train? I'm really hoping to get some advice on how to travel safely at this stage of pregnancy.
