I'm wondering if it's safe to use a belly belt after delivering a baby, especially when I'm also considering family planning. Are there any risks or things I need to be cautious about?

Using a belly belt after delivery can provide support and help with post-partum recovery, especially for abdominal muscles. However, it's important to consult your healthcare provider before using it, especially if youve had family planning procedures, to ensure it's safe and suitable for your specific recovery needs.

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

You can take it no problem.

Can a woman get pregnant after family planning operation?

It is still possible to become pregnant after undergoing the procedure, but tubal ligation is usually highly effective. The surgery involves cutting and tying off the fallopian tubes to prevent an egg from entering the uterus. Undergoing tubal ligation increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

I recently took the I pill and I'm a bit worried about what to expect. How many days might my period be delayed because of taking it? Also, will this change my menstruation cycle permanently to the new dates? I'm curious and a little concerned about how this could affect my cycle.

it may delay 3 to 6 days...but it will not alter duration of cycles...if your periods are delayed further consult obg specialist to rule out pregnancy
