Question 1

I'm about four months pregnant and my gynaecologist started me on cutenox injections back in my second month. Lately, I'm noticing that my thigh muscles are getting hard from the injections and it takes a while for the spots to heal. One time, after an injection, I started bleeding and it took hours to stop, even though my platelets are fine. My doctor wants me to continue these injections for the whole nine months. Is this safe for such a long period? And if I decide to stop them, could it harm my baby? I'm worried and would love some clarity.

Accepted Answer

The prolonged use of Cutenox injections, containing low molecular weight heparin, for 9 months may increase the risk of osteoporosis, bleeding complications, and thrombocytopenia, and although generally considered safe during pregnancy, the frequent bleeding episodes and muscle hardening you're experiencing warrant a reevaluation of your treatment plan with your gynaecologist to weigh the benefits and risks and consider alternative options, as abruptly stopping the injections may not harm the baby, but a gradual transition or adjustment under medical guidance is recommended.

Question 2

I'm having a bit of a concern during sex with my husband. At the start of intercourse, I'm experiencing some biting or stinging sensation near the entrance of my vagina. I've had sex multiple times before and never had this issue. Also, I've noticed a thick white discharge coming from my vagina, not watery at all. After having sex, I noticed a bit of hard blood, like the kind I usually see during my periods. I'm just wondering why this suddenly started happening. Could it be a sign of something?

Accepted Answer

The sudden onset of vaginal biting or stinging sensations during sex, accompanied by abnormal white discharge and post-coital spotting, may indicate an underlying condition such as vaginal dryness, yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or a possible allergic reaction; it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a thorough examination

Question 3

I'm a 21-year-old female and I'm having some issues that have me a bit worried. I've been getting these cramps and pain in the lower part of my uterusstomach even when I'm not on my period. Sometimes when I pee, it feels like a burning sensation, and there's this pain that comes and goes in my kidneys. All this seems to happen after I masturbate. Also, when I get aroused, my vagina contracts, and then afterward, the pain kicks in. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

That looks like UTI, without any delay visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management and also consume more water which will wash out the infection

I've been having irregular periods every month, and they never seem to come on the same date. Sometimes they're 5 days late, other times 9 days late. It's becoming a regular thing, and I'm starting to worry. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what might be causing this?
