Only if condom fails (good chance of failure) and you have started ovulation (extremely low chance for this) it is common not to get a period or scanty period or delayed periods when breastfeeding is going on. So during this time, it is important to use reliable family planning method so that either you are not worried about pregnancy now and then or don’t miss diagnosing pregnancy early.

Hello lybrate-user. It is good that you are taking efforts to lose excess fat. Belly fat especially is the most dangerous type of fat which can increase the risk of lifestyle diseases. From what you have mentioned here, I can assess that your gut health is off track i.e. The good bacteria are lesser and bad bacteria is more than it should be. Many more details about your eating patterns and lifestyle habits are required as this is a multi-factorial issue. Your body fat percentage is impacted by your food habits ,sleep patterns, exercise & environmental factors. Skipping cheese, sweets and oily food is a good first step. But not enough. Increase your water intake, keep 3-4 hour gap between meals, observe which foods suit you & which ones cause bloating/indigestion, walk 1 hour a day. For detailed guidelines, you can consult me directly via Lybrate for details about long term programs for gut health & belly fat reduction.

Your symptoms suggest as if you are allergic to the wax used. Also do you have anxiety too? You can try rica wax if you have not tried it yet, it's a little expensive but better than the regular honey wax. Take care.

Dear patient, firstly the condition anal fissure is mostly associated with hard stool, straining & irregular bowel motion, so to get rid of fissure permanently you have to do lifestyle modification for regular bowel motions like fibre rich diet, plenty of oral fluids; avoid meat in diet, etc. Secondly, whether anal fissure completely be cured with ano-metrogyl or conservative management only, can only be commented after clinical examination of your peri-anal region, anal sphincter tone. So you should physically meet with a general surgeon or proctologist for clinical evaluation and assessment. Thank you.
