Am I infecting my incision after appendix surgery?
Ive had a ruptured appendix surgery last Sunday. Yesterday, I noticed that my incision produces fluids. I am taking celecoxib, cefuroxine and metronidazole. Is my incision infected?

If you notice any fluids leaking from it, this could mean there’s an infection. Other signs of infection may be redness, warmth, swelling, and pain around the area where the incision was made. Usually infections are caused by bacteria. It’s crucial that you get in touch with your surgeons as soon as possible so that they could adjust your drugs or give you additional treatment if necessary.

What to expect 4 months after hysterectomy?
Male | 45
After a hysterectomy, the recovery period will significantly improve after four months. Most women find less pain, better movement and back to normal life. Hormonal changes may still occur, and emotions about the transformations occurring in reproductive health might not settle. It is important to make regular follow-up appointments with your Doctor for monitoring of overall well being and addressing any concerns that might be developed during the recovery process.

What are ovaries attached to after hysterectomy?
Female | 45
After a hysterectomy, the ovaries may or may not be removed depending on the type of hysterectomy. If the ovaries are left in place, they remain attached to the pelvic sidewall and are typically connected to blood vessels called the ovarian vessels.

A nurse wiped the arm with alcohol and then touched the arm to check the nerve with bare hands and then injected the needle to collect blood. She didn't even sanitized her hand as I saw her drawing other patients blood. Could it transmit HIV or hep b?
Male | 23
The risk of HIV or Hepatitis B infection from the scenario you told me about is extremely low. HIV and Hepatitis B are primarily transmitted through the infection of the blood of the infected persons. The symptoms may include being feeble, jaundice, or flu-like symptoms.

If a cut was applied at the time of delivery, stitches were not applied due to the patient's condition becoming worse, so is it possible that the wound can be healed by applying stitches again after five years?
Male | 36
It is possible to stitch a cut, even if it happened many years ago. When a cut isn’t stitched at the start, the wound may continue to bleed, could leave a scar, and may take a longer time to heal. If the injury is still causing issues like pain, redness, or discharge even after 5 years, it might need proper treatment to heal completely. It’s best to have a doctor examine the injury and advise on the most effective treatment.

Hello, I was pricked by a needle in my finger and there was a little bleeding, so will I have to get a tetanus injection or not?
Male | 21
Got pricked by a sharp needle? Bleeding? You might need a tetanus shot. Dirt can harbor bacteria that cause tetanus, which enters through cuts and wounds. Symptoms include stiff muscles and spasms. A tetanus shot can prevent the illness. Consult with a doctor to be safe.

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.

As a healthy 30 y/o male with normal blood-coagulation, and not currently on drugs, what should I drink after suffering a finger laceration that leads to blood loss? Approximately a teaspoon, as I quickly applied pressure and administered aid on myself. Normally, I'd drink water, but given the small appendage damaged, I don't want to thin my blood out too much.
Male | 30
If you cut your finger and it bleeds a little bit, the best thing to do is drink small sips of water. Don’t worry too much—this will not greatly thin your blood. It will keep you hydrated and aid in recovery for the body. If you start feeling faint or dizzy, take a seat for some time while elevating your legs so that blood can return flowing towards the brain.
