1. I've been diagnosed with a 5.6mm x 4.2mm dermoid cyst on my right ovary what actually causes these cysts to form in the body? I've heard they can contain weird things like teeth or hair how does that even happen? 2. Is surgery the only way to treat a dermoid cyst, or can it be managed with alternatives like yoga, Ayurveda, or homeopathy? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible. 3. It's called a monster cyst because it might have tissues like bone or nails how does something like that develop inside the body on its own?

View allI'm 6 weeks pregnant and considering abortion. The doctor suggested surgical abortion but I'm wondering about the success rate of medical abortion and which medicines would be safe to use at this stage

I've done a beta hcg test because my periods are late, and the result came back as 0.861 mIUmL. I'm confused about whether this is positive or negative, as my doctor mentioned it should be above 5 mIUmL. Why might this low value show up? I'm really stressed about it and could use some help understanding what's going on.
These are Hormonal Fluctuations so the result is negative for pregnancy. Typically: Non-pregnant levels: < 5 mIUmL. Positive for pregnancy: 5 mIUmL. Low beta hCG can sometimes appear in women of reproductive age, but it doesnt indicate pregnancy.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and recently had an internal ultrasound at around 5 weeks 4 days, but it only showed the sac without the fetus pole. They're asking me to come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound, and honestly, I'm a bit worried. I'm 34 and taking folic acid and Susten 200, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should be doing, like any specific injections or medicines to help with the fetus development. My doctor mentioned there's a 5050 chance, and since I'm not really experiencing much nausea or sickness, I'm just curious if that could mean anything. What should I be aware of or ask about next?
Given your situation, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance. Since you're already taking folic acid and Susten 200 (progesterone), continue with these medications as prescribed. *Additional Recommendations* 1. *Progesterone support*: Your doctor may consider additional progesterone support to help maintain the pregnancy. 2. *Fetal development monitoring*: Regular ultrasounds will help monitor fetal development and detect any potential issues early. 3. *Prenatal vitamins*: Ensure you're taking prenatal vitamins containing essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamin D. 4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain a healthy pregnancy. *Addressing Your Concerns* 1. *50-50 chance*: Your doctor's assessment is likely based on the initial ultrasound findings. However, it's essential to remain hopeful and focus on supporting your pregnancy. 2. *Lack of nausea*: Not experiencing nausea or sickness during pregnancy is relatively common, especially in the early stages. 3. *Age-related concerns*: As you're 34 years old, your doctor may discuss age-related risks and recommendations for your pregnancy. *Next Steps* 1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Attend your scheduled follow-up ultrasound to reassess fetal development.
