Question 1

I'm struggling with infertility and in a recent ultrasound, my doctor found an endometrial polyp. Can you help me understand the difference between a hysteroscopy and an endometrial biopsy in this context? I'm not sure why my doctor decided to do the biopsy instead, and I'm feeling a bit anxious about what it all means.

Accepted Answer

#NAME?

Question 2

I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.

Accepted Answer

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention

_No Scientific Evidence_

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex.

_Papaya's Effect on Fertility_

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy.

_Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_

Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time.

_Reliable Contraception Methods_

To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as:

1. Condoms
2. Birth control pills
3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B)

_What to Do Next_

If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can:

1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks.
2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex).
3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.

Question 3

I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI.

_Follicle Size_

1. _Ideal size_: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range.
2. _Monitoring_: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI.

_Endometrium Thickness_

1. _Ideal thickness_: 6-10 mm for IUI.
2. _Current thickness_: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range.
3. _Waiting for 16th day_: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable.

_Next Steps_

1. _Follow your doctor's advice_: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness.
2. _Continue monitoring follicle growth_: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI.
3. _Discuss trigger shot options_: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation.

Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!
