When the skin sticks to an internal organ, this is called adhesions. Adhesions can occur following an operation and may cause pain or discomfort when lifting heavy objects. If these adhesions are causing problems, it may be necessary to consult a doctor regarding possible solutions.

Male | 80
It looks like your grandpa’s Foley catheter might have a problem. The balloon could be causing the bleeding because it’s coming out. There’s no pain, so that’s good. We’ll watch the bleeding for now. Keep the area clean and dry. If the bleeding doesn’t stop or you have other worries, call your health care provider right away for advice.

Headache and have yellow mucous
Male | 18
Headaches and yellow mucus often suggest a sinus infection. Sinuses get blocked, causing head pressure and pain. Yellow mucus indicates your body is fighting an infection. Try using a humidifier, drinking water, and saline nasal sprays. If the mucus doesn't clear, see a doctor.

I have a cut injury please help what should I do in this injury
Female | 28
You may observe red and swollen areas, pain, and bleeding. First off, wash the cut with soap and water in a careful way. Next, press a clean piece of cloth against the cut to stop the bleeding. Ultimately, cover it with a bandage for protection. Watch for signs of infection, which are usually redness, heat, or pus, and report them. However, if it looks infected, get treatment right away. Take care and be well!

Symptoms of ovarian failure after hysterectomy?
Female | 36
The symptoms of ovarian failure following a hysterectomy may include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Menstrual patterns may change, and if ovaries were taken out, they will stop menstruating. Mood changes may include mood swings and irritability. Besides, low levels of estrogen may cause changes in libido. Ovarian failure can also impair bone health, which may influence bone density. If these manifestations occur, it is critical to seek the advice of your health care provider for proper assessment and intervention.

Hello, I had pancreas surgery a month ago. I just wanted to know if I can go swimming and ride water slides after a month of surgery? The surgery was only 3 small cuts.
Female | 25
After a pancreas surgery, one should be more mindful that the person should not stay longer in the water and especially not undertake swimming and water slides that are heavy on the internal organ part and can be the cause of some complications. Allow your surgical wounds to heal and do not perform water activities for 2 to 3 months. It's quite natural to feel tensed and it's the right approach to not indulge in these things until you are fully healthy again.
