I'm 23 and I've taken the ipill three times this year. I'm worried about whether I should consult a doctor about it. Could there be severe side effects from using it so often? How often is it safe to use the ipill?

I'm really worried because I found this hard lump near my pwerta and it's super painful, especially when I'm walking, lying down, or sitting. Could you tell me what this is and what might be causing it?

I have a 25 mm vulvar cyst and my doctor recommended draining it surgically. I want to get it done at the best hospital possible how much would this procedure usually cost? Also, what should I look for when choosing a hospital for this kind of surgery?

Cost is ₹20,000–₹50,000 for cyst drainage in good hospitals—look for facilities with gynae surgeons and infection control.
