Can you touch your cervix?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your body position should allow you to easily reach your cervix. That may be sitting on the toilet, putting one leg up on the edge of the bathtub, or squatting. Reach your finger inside of your vagina. Use the index or middle finger and slowly slide your finger in as far as you can reach, in sort of an upward motion.

I'm noticing some stringy brown discharge for about a week now whenever I wipe. My period's due on the 28th of May, and we're trying for a baby. Can you tell me what's going on with this?
You may be experiencing ovulation bleeding, which can sometimes occur when you are trying to conceive. It is usually nothing to worry about and can be a sign of fertility. However, if you are concerned, you can try taking folic acid supplements to support your fertility.

I found out I have a right ovarian lesion with fat calcific spec and hemorrhagic foci, possibly a dermoid cyst. Should I be worried about this? Is surgery necessary or can it resolve on its own? What are my options here?
A right ovarian lesion with calcification could indicate a benign dermoid cyst, but it’s essential to monitor it. Surgery may be recommended if it's causing discomfort or growing, but often these cysts resolve on their own without intervention.
