I have a 4.4cm functional follicular cyst on my left ovary with benign features but my periods have been irregular and frequent happening twice recently Will this cyst resolve on its own or do I need surgery

A functional follicular cyst of this size is likely to resolve on its own. It's common for them to disappear within a few months, and your doctor may recommend a "wait-and-see" approach with a follow-up ultrasound to monitor its size. If the cyst doesn't resolve or if you experience symptoms like pain or pelvic fullness, surgery might be considered. Surgery is also recommended if the cyst is very large or if there's suspicion of a more complex cyst

I'm a bit worried because I always get my period a week earlier than the last month's date, and it began on December 4th. I'm planning a trip to Rajasthan at the end of this month, and I'm pretty sure that's when I'll get my period again. The stomach pain I experience during that time is intense, and I really don't want it to ruin my vacation. Is it possible to prepone my period so that it happens earlier and doesn't interfere with my trip? I'm just looking for a way to enjoy my travel without the usual discomfort.

I'm really concerned about my friend's situation because his wife's vaginal area is too tight and it's making sex really difficult for them. He reached out to me for advice and I suggested they try a water-based lube since I had read about it online somewhere, but I'm not sure which one is the safest or most effective without side effects. What would you recommend for them?

Taking expired Augmentin may reduce its effectiveness, but it's unlikely to cause harm. However, as a breastfeeding mother, it's essential to consider the potential impact on your baby. Augmentin is generally considered safe for breastfeeding, but expired medication may affect its safety profile. Consult your healthcare provider or a lactation expert for personalized advice on continuing breastfeeding.

Is it okay to use saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation? I'm just wondering if there are any health concerns or risks I should be aware of.

Using saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation is not recommended as it can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, herpes, and gonorrhea, and may also cause vaginal or anal irritation, yeast infections, or other infections; instead, opt for water-based or silicone-based lubricants
