I have a 6.5 cm x 4.5 cm ovarian cyst and my CA125 level is 48. My gynecologist prescribed Ovral, which I think is a contraceptive pill. I'm wondering if birth control pills can actually cure ovarian cysts and if taking them for 21 days is the best option or if I should consider surgery instead.

Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health‚Äîplease consult your gynecologist.

Question

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?

Question

Hey, I've been dealing with a recurring vaginal yeast infection. I was diagnosed with vaginitis three months back and the doctor prescribed me FAS 3 kit for one day, Cansoft CL for three nights, and I'm still using VWash. I felt better after two weeks, but the problem didn't completely go away. I took another dose of FAS 3 kit and saw my gynecologist a month later. She advised me to drink plenty of fluids and maintain good hygiene. But I've noticed the infection flares up again after my periods. Is it okay to take another dose of fluconazole? How can I get rid of this issue for good? I'm really concerned about this.
