I had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago for an ectopic pregnancy, but I still get sharp pains sometimes where they did the surgery. Why is it still hurting like this?

Post-laparoscopy pain can persist due to adhesions, nerve sensitivity, or healing tissues. If worsening or accompanied by other symptoms, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound may be needed.

I've been experiencing a delay in my periods but haven't noticed any other issues, aside from normal white discharge. Should I be concerned, and what might be causing this delay? Any advice on how to address it would be really appreciated!

A delay in periods can be caused by various factors like stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle shifts. If the white discharge is normal and there are no other symptoms, it may be a temporary issue, but if it persists, consider consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying concerns.

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person. Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms. However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years. In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon. Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced. It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.

How dangerous is a left ovarian cyst that measures 51x36x43mm? Will it resolve on its own, or would I need medication or laparoscopic surgery to remove it? I'm really concerned and would like some advice.

A 51x36x43mm ovarian cyst (around 5cm in diameter) is not inherently dangerous, but it's a size that warrants monitoring and potentially further evaluation. It's possible the cyst could resolve on its own, especially if it's a functional cyst related to ovulation. However, larger cysts carry a slightly increased risk of complications like rupture, ovarian torsion, or pressure on other organs, and it's important to rule out malignancy, especially in postmenopausal women.
