I'm concerned because I missed my double marker test but I did manage to get my NT scan right at the start of my 14th week. Are the results from this NT scan accurate at 14 weeks? My doctor mentioned doing the Triple Marker test at 16 weeks, but I'm wondering if the Triple Marker test is better than the Quadruple Marker test. I'm 35 now and really don't want to take any risks when it comes to my baby. Could you help me figure out the best steps to take from here?

The NT scan is a risk assessment tool, not a diagnostic test. It can't tell for sure if a baby has a problem, so another test is needed to confirm a diagnosis.The quadruple marker test is generally more sensitive than the triple marker test, and is recommended for women who are at higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities

View allI've had a red pimple-like bump inside my vagina for about 10 days and it's gotten really painful. Could this just be a pimple or something more serious like a cyst or tumor? I'm really worried about needing surgery. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to treat it at home? The pain is making me anxious and I'd appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
The most common reason for vaginal pimples is a clogged pore. The skin on your vulva contains pores that can become clogged with bacteria, oil, sweat and dead skin. This triggers an immune response, which creates a pimple. Contact dermatitis: A skin reaction to something that touches your vulva

I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?
Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy. Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

I'm noticing some unusual pimples or growths on my uterus that have been there for around 6 to 7 months now. I've had a couple of urine infections before, and now I'm just constantly feeling bloated and tired. Does this mean I might have cancer? What could this be? I'm really anxious about this.
