My wife is 7 months pregnant and she started vomiting, but then she noticed there was some blood mixed in. Should we be worried about this? Is it a serious issue or something normal during pregnancy?

Wound Healing and Fluid Discharge
Current Status
- 90% healed: The wound has made significant progress in healing.
- Small raw area remaining: A fingertip-sized area remains raw and discharging fluid.
Fluid Discharge
- Serous discharge: The clear, watery liquid is likely serous discharge, which can be a normal part of the healing process.
- Delayed healing: The persistent discharge might be hindering the healing process.
Recommendations
- Continue dressing and antibiotic treatment: Maintain regular dressing changes and antibiotic treatment as prescribed by Dr. Prashanth BN.
- Add a topical agent: Consider adding a topical agent like silver sulfadiazine or povidone-iodine to help control the discharge and promote healing.
- Elevate the affected leg: Whenever possible, elevate the affected leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Monitor for infection: Keep an eye on the wound's appearance, smell, and overall condition. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention immediately.

View allI'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 CD4 count is 150 and I have a third-degree uterus prolapse. The local gynecologist mentioned surgery might be an option if my CD4 reaches 350. What can I do to improve my CD4 count quickly or are there other treatment options for the prolapse in my current condition
A CD4 count of 150 indicates a severely weakened immune system due to HIV, and a third-degree uterine prolapse requires management. The most effective way to improve your CD4 count is through consistent adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, which can increase your CD4 count by 100-150 cells/mm3 within the first year. For the prolapse, while surgery is an option, non-surgical approaches like pelvic floor exercises, pessary use, or physical therapy may provide relief and improve your condition
