I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?

You may resume dance 4‚Äì6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.

We're trying to have a baby and I've been taking Vitafol 5mg folic acid tablets for the past three months. Is this the right supplement to be on and when's the best time to take it each day? Also, what should I do if I accidentally skip a dose?

For adults, the typical dosage of Azithromycin 500mg for sore throat is: 500mg once daily for 3-5 days Alternatively, some doctors may prescribe: 500mg twice daily for 2-3 days However, it's essential to consult a doctor for a personalized prescription, especially since you're experiencing a sore throat post-COVID. Always follow the doctor's instructions and complete the full course of antibiotics.

I'm really curious and a bit worried about blood type compatibility when it comes to starting a family. I have a B blood type, and my girlfriend has an AB blood type. I'm wondering if this could lead to any complications with her pregnancy or maybe even affect our child's health. Could our different blood types be a problem?

Yes, it will not cause any complications.

Can sperm survive in menstrual blood?

Women are not able to conceive whilst on their period, but sperm survives within the female reproductive system for up to five days. This means that a tiny fraction of women do have a small chance of becoming pregnant during their period.
