I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?

My wife's in her 6th month of pregnancy and she's been having some issues like vomiting, a cold, runny nose, and headaches. We went to a gynecologist who prescribed some meds like azithromycin, Sinarest, and Ascoril D Plus syrup. We even did a COVID test and it was negative. I'm just really concerned if these tablets are safe during pregnancy, especially since she's at 24 weeks now. Are there any possible side effects on the baby from these medications?
Possible HIV Exposure and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) *Assessment of Risk* 1. *Condom use*: You used a condom, which significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission. 2. *Condom breakage*: Although the condom remained inside, the risk of transmission is still relatively low. *Laboratory Test Results* 1. *Negative result*: Your HIV test result is negative, which is reassuring. *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)* 1. *PEP eligibility*: PEP is typically recommended within 72 hours of potential exposure. 2. *PEP effectiveness*: PEP can reduce the risk of HIV infection if started promptly. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Discuss your situation with a healthcare provider to determine if PEP is necessary. *Next Steps* 1. *Schedule a follow-up test*: Repeat the HIV test after the window period (typically 3-6 months) to confirm the negative result. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Continue using condoms correctly to minimize the risk of future exposures. 3. *Seek counseling*: Consider counseling to address any emotional concerns or questions you may have.

My uterus is anteverted and bulky, measuring 11.18.58.1 cm, with nonhomogeneous myometrial echoes. The endometrial thickness is 3 mm, and my right ovary is 2.11.3 cm while the left is 21.3 cm with normal echoes. Should I consider surgery for this, or is it something that can be treated without surgery?
It's important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. A bulky uterus, particularly with nonhomogeneous myometrial echoes and thickened endometrium, could indicate conditions like fibroids, adenomyosis, or other issues, which may require surgery, medication, or other treatments
