Question 1

I'm experiencing continuous bleeding three months after a normal delivery. Is this normal, or could there be an issue since it hasn't stopped at all? About 1.5 months in, the bleeding slowed down, but for the past six days, it's been like normal bleeding again. I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice or remedies. What could be the possible solutions?

Accepted Answer

Cremaffin Plus is a medication containing ispaghula husk and dicyclomine hydrochloride, used to treat anal fissures. The hunger pangs you're experiencing could be due to:

- _Dicyclomine hydrochloride_: This antispasmodic medication can stimulate appetite and increase hunger.
- _Ispaghula husk_: This fiber supplement can sometimes increase hunger and appetite, possibly due to its effect on gut hormones.

To manage hunger pangs:

- _Eat smaller, frequent meals_: To avoid overeating and manage hunger.
- _Choose fiber-rich foods_: Include fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I took the ipill about 20 hours after having unprotected sex back in April, but now I've taken a pregnancy test twice, and both times it's come back positive. I also visited my doctor, and she confirmed the pregnancy through a physical exam. What I'm really concerned about is whether the ipill could have any negative effects on my baby.
