Question 1

I had an episiotomy during childbirth about 3.5 years ago, and since then, a large piece of flesh was accidentally cut. It took a really long time to heal. Around 1.5 years after delivery, I noticed a small gland about the size of a cumin seed, and that's where the pain started. It has grown a lot, and now it's about 2 inches long. The pain is constant and gets worse after my menstrual cycle. Could you advise on what might be going on and which consultant I should see? I'm a bit worried.

Accepted Answer

Dog Bite from Fully Vaccinated Dog

_General Guidelines_

1. _Low risk_: Since your dog is fully vaccinated, the risk of rabies transmission is low.
2. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)_: However, it's essential to take precautions to minimize the risk of rabies transmission.

_Recommended Actions_

1. _Wash the wound_: Immediately wash the bite wound with soap and water.
2. _Apply antiseptic_: Apply an antiseptic cream or solution to the wound.
3. _Monitor your dog's behavior_: Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior for the next 10-14 days. If your dog shows any signs of illness or unusual behavior, seek veterinary attention immediately.
4. _Consult a doctor_: As a precautionary measure, consult a doctor to assess the risk of rabies transmission. They may recommend:

a. _Observation_: Monitoring your condition for a few days to ensure no symptoms develop.
b. _PEP_: Administering post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as a precautionary measure, although this is unlikely given your dog's vaccination status.

_Rabies Vaccination_

1. _Unlikely necessary_: Given your dog's full vaccination status, rabies vaccination for you is unlikely necessary.

Question 2

Question 3

I'm really worried and hoping for some help. My doctor suggested my pregnant wife get Ovidac 5000 IU injections to help prevent a miscarriage. We managed to get one injection at a local store but we need two more for the next couple of weeks. I've already tried uploading the prescription, but our order got canceled. I'm having a tough time finding it anywhere nearby. What should we do next? Can you help us figure out how to get these important injections?

Accepted Answer

Since you mentioned that the injections were recommended to help prevent miscarriage, please ensure to keep your doctor informed about any issues with accessing the medication so that alternative treatments or options can be discussed.

Tablet mifepristone 200 mcg on day - 1 followed by tablet misoprostol 200 mcg on day-3 (after 48 hrs) 2 tablets followed by a 4 hour gap and then 2 tablets. All take orally.
