Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm trying to figure out when it's safe to have sex without using a condom and not risk getting pregnant. Can you help me understand which days would be safest for this?

To avoid pregnancy without using a condom, it's important to track your ovulation cycle. Generally, the safest days for unprotected sex are during the **non-fertile window** of your menstrual cycle, which is typically a few days after your period ends or just before ovulation starts. However, I strongly recommend discussing contraception options with a healthcare provider to ensure you are fully protected and informed.
