My wife is 6 months pregnant and suffering severely from varicose veins in her right leg. The gynecologist recommended using medical stockings, but we are concerned about the severity of the condition and whether waiting until after delivery for treatment is the right approach. What are the options for treatment during pregnancy, and what are the risks of waiting?

I have been a widow for 21 years and have recently begun a serious relationship. I have found that my vagina has closed to the extent that my partner cannot penetrate, and it is very painful to attempt. We have used a gel, but that is not sufficient. What can I do to widen my vagina so we can experience normal sexual relations?

I am postpartum and was given oxycodone for pain, which I didn't want due to breastfeeding my 30-week preemie. I am concerned about the safety of oxycodone in my breast milk and how long it takes to clear my system. Additionally, I was prescribed lebadyal (labetalol) 200mg twice a week for 6 weeks and Tylenol 1000mg every 6 hours. Are these medications safe for breastfeeding?

I had the Mirena inserted about 5 months ago and am experiencing heavy, bright red bleeding that seems to follow my menstrual cycle. I was told the bleeding would lighten up, but it hasn't. I've been having to change my pantiliner every 3-4 hours. Should I be concerned about this, and what can I do to address it?
