Yes, you can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. It is most commonly spread during vaginal or anal sex. HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms.

After my C-section, I noticed pus-like liquid coming from the incision. Can you suggest a good cream that helps with healing and also deals with the pus?

If pus-like liquid is coming from your C-section incision, it's essential to seek medical advice immediately. Pus indicates a potential infection, and it's important to address it promptly. While some creams may offer temporary relief, they cannot treat a true infection.

I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
