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've been wondering if it's really necessary to go through with the double marker and NT scan tests. Are these tests truly important for my pregnancy, or is it more of a way to get us to spend money? I'm feeling a bit worried about whether skipping these could impact me or my baby. What do you think?
Double marker and NT scan tests are important screening tests recommended during pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome in the fetus. These tests provide valuable information to the healthcare provider to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby. It is not just about money business, but rather about ensuring a healthy pregnancy and making informed decisions. It is advisable to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding these tests for proper prenatal care.

I'm dealing with a lot of vaginal itching and burning right now, and I'm using itch guard which only seems to help for a short while. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and if there's something more effective I could try?
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
