I'm 25 and just found out I have a dermoid cyst near my right ovary it's 10x7x9 cm. My doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other options since I also have PCOD. What else can be done about this?

For your 10x7x9 cm dermoid cyst near your right ovary, while laparoscopic surgery is the most common approach, other options exist, especially considering your PCOD diagnosis. Watchful waiting with regular follow-up scans, hormonal contraceptives to reduce cyst formation, or surgical removal of the cyst alone (cystectomy) without removing the ovary (oophorectomy) are possibilities. Your doctor can help determine the best course of action based on your specific circumstances and preferences

I've been having this white, thick vaginal discharge, and sometimes it looks like cottage cheese. It's been really itchy, and my clitoris hurts a lot. I've been dealing with this for about five months now. Even though I've taken medication, nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I actually get rid of it?

I've been having issues with intercourse because of tightness in my vagina it feels like there's not enough space, and it's causing a mental block too. Is there any surgical option to help widen the area? I'm really hoping to conceive soon and wondering what my options are.

It sounds like you're experiencing Vaginismus, a condition where the vaginal muscles involuntarily tighten, making intercourse painful or difficult. While there's no surgical option to permanently widen the vagina, there are effective non-surgical treatments that can help relax the muscles and address the mental block, paving the way for easier intercourse and a smoother path to conception.
