I'm a 32-year-old woman with a 3-year-old kid and have been having heavy periods. My gynecologist recommended a pelvic scan, which showed an echogenic polyp measuring 22.7x16.7mm in the anterior endometrial cavity with no color flow. I had a laparoscopic surgery in 2016 and my pap smear was negative. Is this polyp something serious or can I leave it as it is? What should my next steps be?

I'm looking at my urine report and wondering if there's any sign of an infection. I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and a bit concerned. Is there a risk to my baby if there is an infection?

My bartholin cyst keeps coming back every month or two, especially around my period, and gets as big as a peanut with a lot of pain. I've seen two doctors, but it goes away and then comes back within weeks. Is there any way to prevent it from recurring without surgery?

While a completely guaranteed non-surgical solution to prevent Bartholin cyst recurrence is difficult to find, several strategies can help manage recurring cysts and reduce the likelihood of future episodes. These include focusing on good hygiene, potentially using sitz baths, and, if needed, discussing drainage procedures with your doctor
