I
gave birth to a baby girl in August 2005 via C-section. At the
same time, my doctor, removed the Fibroids as well during the
operation.
Is
it true that despite being removed, the Fibroids would still grow?
And what would cause the Fibroids to grow? Also, I had a pap smear
done during my medical review, which showed I had infections.
However, the nurse told me that was not serious unless it was a
virus infection. Would
these infections go away after sometime? Early this month, I
started having some brown discharge, which was not right, as it
was supposed to be regular menses. Please help.
- My
boy is already 11 months’ old. From birth till now, he throws
out milk occasionally, after feeding. We believe that he must be
allergic to cow's milk. To minimise such incidents, we started
feeding him soymilk in the night. Is that alright?
- My
girl three-and-a-half-year-old used to have long hair, slightly
off shoulder. Recently, I suggested that she has her hair cut for
better management. I told her it would be a similar hair style to
one of her friends. My daughter agreed to it. Unfortunately, the
hairdresser misinterpreted my instructions and my daughter had a
boyish hair cut instead. This is devastating to me.
She
looked upset but she did not express her unhappiness, only when
asked whether she likes it, she then replied that she does not
like it. There were times that we noted that she was quiet for a
long while at that point when she looked at the mirror.
The
rest of the family members have comforted and encouraged her by
telling her that she looked great with this hairstyle and her hair
will grow back. She seemed to accept the fact but still looked
upset. We have also showed her photograph of other young girls
with short hair but she kept quiet with no response.
When
she attended school the following week, she was commented by some
of her friends in the childcare over her boyish hairstyle. She
received a nickname “handsome boy” and thereafter, I received
a call from the teacher informing me that my daughter was found
crying quietly in the school toilet. I am concerned over her
behaviour. Basically, she is a very sensitive girl.
I
would like to seek your professional advise, as I am worried that
it will affect her confidence and self-esteem. My husband and I
are concerned that this might affect her personality as well.
Please advise us how best I can approach to minimise the possible
damage to her development.
