Can Primolut N really help in preponing periods? I came across some doctors on Practo saying it can't be done, and I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm experiencing severe pain in my thighs and entire leg, and a 5 cm cyst was found in Vadodara. The doctor is recommending surgery to remove my ovary, but I'm unmarried and would prefer laparoscopic surgery. Can you advise if this is the right approach and suggest any specialist doctors or hospitals for this procedure in Ahmedabad or Delhi?

Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and fertility-sparing option—seek a gynecologist in Ahmedabad or Delhi with minimally invasive expertise.

I'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?

In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.
