View allI've been having really bad stomach pain in my lower right side and my reports show minimal free fluid in the pelvis plus a cyst in my right ovary with hyperdense content. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?
The combination of lower right abdominal pain, minimal free fluid in the pelvis, and a hyperdense ovarian cyst can be concerning and may warrant further investigation. While many ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, the hyperdense content suggests a potential need for a closer look. The severity of your condition and the need for surgery will depend on the size, type, and other characteristics of the cyst, as well as your individual symptoms and overall health.

I'm a bit worried because my period that started on April 5th and ended on the 11th seemed normal, but then after starting some heavy workouts at the gym on April 14th, I noticed some menstrual spotting with black clots beginning on April 24th. Is it common for exercise to cause this, or should I be concerned about something else?
It is not uncommon for women to experience spotting or changes in their menstrual cycle when they start a new exercise routine, especially if it is intense or involves heavy workouts. The black color clots may be due to the shedding of old blood from the uterus. This is usually not a cause for concern and can be a result of the physical stress placed on the body during exercise. However, if the spotting persists or is accompanied by severe pain or other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider.

What is more painful C section or natural birth?
Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. You'll probably hear the term ânatural childbirthâ .The risk for discomfort after the birth is greater due to normal and expected surgical pain along the incision and abdominal soreness. These discomforts can last for several months. There is an increased risk for rupture of the C-section scar during subsequent deliveries and subsequent pregnancies.
