Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.

Had abdominal myomectomy surgery for uterine fibroids and endometriosis cysts 30 days ago but still having incision pain. Is it normal to feel this much discomfort after a month? Can I start doing household chores like sweeping or sitting for long periods? My in-laws are orthodox so follow-up visits are tough

It's not uncommon to experience some incision pain for a month after an abdominal myomectomy, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it's important to contact your doctor

I've noticed that the skin on the right side between my vagina and anus feels hard, almost like there's a lump under the skin. It's quite painful, and I'm really concerned. I'm wondering if this could be something harmful?

This could be due to a condition called a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the pain and swelling. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics or drainage of the cyst may be necessary.
