I have an 8cm simple left ovarian cyst and I'm wondering if minimally invasive surgery would be a good option for me to get it removed

Yes, minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic cystectomy) is generally a good option for removing a simple ovarian cyst, especially if it's 8 cm and causing symptoms or has persisted. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.

Question

Why is it important to track your periods?

Question

My wife and I have been trying for a baby for a few months now. This month, her period lasted only half a day and it was just spots. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? We did a pregnancy test two days later, but it came out negative. Last time her period was 17 days late, but this month it was actually on time. This is the first time something like this has happened. Could there be something else going on? What's your take on this situation?

Question

My bartholin cyst keeps coming back every month or two, especially around my period, and gets as big as a peanut with a lot of pain. I've seen two doctors, but it goes away and then comes back within weeks. Is there any way to prevent it from recurring without surgery?
