Hymen repair surgery, or hymenoplasty, aims to restore the hymen's physical appearance, typically by stitching together remnants or creating a new one using vaginal tissue. While considered safe, it's crucial to understand the procedure's risks and recovery process, as well as its limitations in restoring "virginity"

I'm 41 with regular periods but sometimes get spotting around day 10 or 11. All my blood tests thyroid, prolactin, vitamin B12, CBC are normal, though my HbA1c is 6.1 and I have mild cholesterol. An ultrasound showed polyps, and compared to a scan two years ago, they've grown by 0.9 in size. Do they need to be removed? I'm not sexually active and have a 5-year-old daughter. Could these polyps keep growing, and is surgery necessary? Can I just monitor them for changes? What's the chance they could turn cancerous

gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient

I'm currently 4 months pregnant and just found out I have COVID-19, tested positive on July 19th. I've got a stuffy nose and chest pain, but my oxygen levels are around 96 to 97. How long do you think it'll take for my nose congestion to clear up? Are there any tests I should be doing right now?
