I'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?

I've just found out I have an endometriotic cyst that's 53.5 cm I'm 29 years old. Is surgery the only way to get rid of it, and could this affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future?

While surgery, specifically laparoscopic cystectomy, is often the recommended treatment for a large endometriotic cyst, it's not the only option. Hormone therapy can help manage the condition and potentially shrink the cyst. Regarding fertility, endometriosis itself can impact pregnancy chances, but removing the cyst may improve them, especially in cases of deep endometriosis

I've been taking Susten 400 twice a day since my IUI on July 5th, as my doctor suggested doing it for 15 days. But now it's day 11, and I'm having all these period symptoms. Do you think I should stop taking Susten, or is this normal? I'm just a bit worried and unsure about what to do next.

It is important to continue using Susten as prescribed by your doctor to support the early stages of pregnancy. It is recommended to complete the full course of medication unless otherwise advised by your doctor.

I've recently had a medical termination and after 15 days, I found out there are retained products. My doctor used 2 tablets to help but I'm only feeling lower back pain and no other symptoms. How long until bleeding starts? Can retained products be expelled through bleeding, or will they come out with my period? Is it safe to wait until my next period for them to pass? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.
