I have a 4.9 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and attached my scan report. Could you check and let me know if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medication? Also, is there a chance it might go away on its own with lifestyle changes?

Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. If your cyst is likely functional, your provider may suggest a wait-and-see approach. You may have a follow-up ultrasound within a few weeks or months after your diagnosis to see if your cyst is getting larger, smaller or changing in any other way.

I'm really worried because after taking an Unwanted 72 pill, I got my period 15 days early, and now it's the 8th day and I'm still bleeding. Is this normal, or should I be doing something about it?

Is it harmful to take unwanted 72 two times in a week? I noticed that I start having periods right after taking it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

-Taking Unwanted 72 frequently, like twice a week, can disrupt your hormonal balance and lead to irregular periods. It's meant for emergency use, not regular contraception. If you're using it often, consider switching to a more reliable, long-term method
