Can we eat ice cream during periods?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

A soft bump under the armpit may be ectopic breast tissue or a lipoma. It’s usually harmless, but an ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.

I'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?
What retained products are you taking about?? Retained placental bits or abortion.. It has to be removed, some times they get expelled but if not it causes sepsis and shock like condition..
