My wife had a c-section a month ago but still has pain and swelling around the stitches. Is this normal or should we be worried? What can we do to help her heal faster and are there any medicines that might help with the recovery?

It's understandable to be concerned about pain and swelling around the C-section incision, even a month after surgery. While some pain and swelling are normal, it's crucial to monitor for signs of infection. Seek immediate medical attention if there's increasing pain, redness, swelling, or discharge from the incision, or if your wife develops a fever

I'm really worried because I took the unwanted kit but I'm not bleeding. Should I try taking another one? If so, how many days should I wait? I'm 4 weeks pregnant and not considering surgical abortion. What should I do?
If there is still no bleeding after a few days, you should have an ultrasound. If you still do not bleed within a few days (and you are positive that you were pregnant), then you may have either an ectopic pregnancy or a continuing pregnancy and you should have an ultrasound

I've been struggling with painful intercourse with my husband it feels like hitting a wall no matter how many times we try. We've used different lubricants and gels, but nothing helps. Is there any medical procedure or surgery to help enlarge or break the hymen so we can have successful intercourse?
If painful intercourse is caused by a restrictive hymen, a medical procedure called a hymenotomy can be performed to break or enlarge the hymen. This procedure can help to alleviate pain and make intercourse more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this is the root cause of the pain and to discuss whether a hymenotomy is appropriate for you. There may also be other medical or psychological factors contributing to the pain, so a thorough evaluation is crucial.
