I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and have cysts in both ovaries two on the left (2cm and 3cm) and one on the right (2cm). My gynecologist is recommending laparoscopy, but I'm wondering if there are any medications or injections that could treat the endometriosis and help me conceive instead of surgery

While medications and injections can help manage endometriosis and its symptoms, they often don't resolve the underlying condition. Laparoscopy may be recommended for endometriomas (cysts) that are painful, growing, or larger than 4cm, or when fertility is a goal. Medications like birth control pills, progestins, and GnRH agonists can help suppress the growth of endometriosis tissue and relieve pain, but they don't eliminate the cyst

View allI'm a bit worried about my Widal test results which came back with O at 140 and H at 180. I'm also pregnant, so I'm really concerned about whether these results indicate a positive or negative for typhoid fever. Could you help me understand what this means for my health and my pregnancy?
it means typhoid only but it is not a very specific test esp if done before 7 days of fever. kindly get a blood culture to confirm the same

I'm feeling some pain after fingering my vagina yesterday. Now it hurts when I walk or when I pee, and there's this dull pain in my lower abdomen. Could you suggest any tablets or remedies to help ease this pain?
It sounds like you might be experiencing irritation or inflammation, which can occur after vigorous activity. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any infection or injury, but in the meantime, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (if you're not allergic) may help reduce the discomfort. Drink plenty of water, and avoid any further irritation.

I've done a beta hcg test because my periods are late, and the result came back as 0.861 mIUmL. I'm confused about whether this is positive or negative, as my doctor mentioned it should be above 5 mIUmL. Why might this low value show up? I'm really stressed about it and could use some help understanding what's going on.
These are Hormonal Fluctuations so the result is negative for pregnancy. Typically: Non-pregnant levels: < 5 mIUmL. Positive for pregnancy: 5 mIUmL. Low beta hCG can sometimes appear in women of reproductive age, but it doesnt indicate pregnancy.
