I have an 8cm ovarian cyst and really want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can shrink or remove it? I'm worried about the size and hoping for non-surgical options.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While some ovarian cysts naturally resolve without treatment, an 8cm cyst might require medical intervention. There isn't a specific medication to shrink or remove an existing ovarian cyst. However, certain medications can help manage symptoms and potentially prevent new cysts from forming. If the cyst is causing pain, discomfort, or other issues, or if it's not a functional cyst, surgery (laparoscopy or open surgery) may be recommended

View allI'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?
While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and was wondering if it's possible to have an abortion at this stage. I just celebrated my first wedding anniversary and feel like I might need a bit more time before taking on the responsibilities of becoming a parent. Can you help me understand my options?
You can consider using medications such as Mifepristone and Misoprostol under medical supervision to terminate the pregnancy. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for guidance and support during this process.

What is more painful C section or natural birth?
Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. You'll probably hear the term ânatural childbirthâ .The risk for discomfort after the birth is greater due to normal and expected surgical pain along the incision and abdominal soreness. These discomforts can last for several months. There is an increased risk for rupture of the C-section scar during subsequent deliveries and subsequent pregnancies.
