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-pills are emergency contraceptive pills and there is no problem in taking 3 pills in a year.

I have a 6 cm ovarian cyst on my left side and my cycle length is 40 days but I don't have any abdominal or pelvic pain. Do I really need surgery or can it be managed with contraceptives?

Excision of the cyst is advised to the patient.

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?

You may resume dance 4‚Äì6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had my period in about two months. I'm not sure what might be causing this delay, and I'm wondering if there's something I should do to ensure my periods become regular again. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what steps I should take?
