My wife gave birth to our baby boy nearly two months ago, and just recently, I've noticed she's had a couple of nosebleeds and her right eye looks red. Could this be something serious? Should she see a gynecologist, or is it better to consult an ENT or an eye doctor? Also, is it okay for her to continue breastfeeding? I'm really looking forward to some guidance here.

I've been sexually active for the past four years and I'm worried that my vagina might have lost some of its tightness. Is that something that can actually happen, and if so, what can I do to tighten it?
It's normal for the vaginal muscles to stretch over time, especially with sexual activity and childbirth. To help tighten the area, you can try pelvic floor exercises like Kegels, which strengthen the muscles. If you're concerned, consulting a gynecologist can provide more personalized advice.
