Is HPV a STD?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, you can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms. You also can develop symptoms years after you have sex with someone who is infected. This makes it hard to know when you first became infected.

I have a 3.5cm ovarian cyst in my left ovary can it go away on its own without surgery? What are some natural ways to shrink it or manage the symptoms?

Yes, a 3.5 cm ovarian cyst is usually functional and can often go away on its own, especially if you're premenopausal. To manage symptoms naturally, you can try applying warm compresses for pain relief, maintain a healthy diet, and consider regular exercise. However, regular follow-up with ultrasound is important to monitor its size and rule out complications.

I'm 8 days late for my period, which is unusual since they're usually regular. I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative, but I'm experiencing leg pain and there's a white milky discharge. Can you help me understand what's going on with my body?

Its possible that stress, hormonal changes, or other factors like infection could be affecting your cycle, even with a negative pregnancy test. The leg pain and milky discharge might also indicate something like an early hormonal imbalance or a vaginal infection. Its best to follow up with your doctor for a more thorough evaluation if your period doesn't start soon.

I've got a question about my PCOD situation. So, I went for a follicle study and on the 11th day, my right ovary size was 2719 and the endometrium thickness was 9. Then, ovulation happened on the 13th day but my endometrium thickness dropped to 5.3. My doctor mentioned that this is due to my PCOD and prescribed me an HCG 5000 injection twice along with some tablets and sachets. I'm just wondering, with my endometrium thickness being at 5.3, is there a chance I could conceive in this cycle? Any insights would be appreciated.

With the HCG injections and medications prescribed by your doctor, there is a possibility of conceiving in this cycle despite the endometrium thickness of 5.3mm. The medications and injections are aimed at supporting the ovulation and improving the chances of successful implantation. It is important to continue following your doctor's instructions and guidance for the best possible outcome.
