I'm curious about something: I've got PCOD and my doctor told me to take Duphaston starting from the 16th day of my cycle for 10 days. I've been consistent with taking two tablets each day since day 16, but now it's been about six days since I stopped and I haven't gotten my period yet. There's no chance I'm pregnant since there wasn't any intercourse. Do you know what might be going on and what steps I should take next?

View allMy bartholin cysts keep coming back and they're so painful, sometimes they even burst on their own. Can you explain all the treatment options like marsupialization or surgery, and what actually works best long-term?
For recurring and painful Bartholin cysts that burst on their own, several treatment options exist, with marsupialization and surgery being common choices. Marsupialization, a surgical procedure, creates a permanent opening in the cyst, allowing fluid to drain freely, while other surgical options can include simple incision and drainage or, in more complex cases, removal of the Bartholin gland. While marsupialization can offer long-term relief for some, others may find that the cysts return, and surgical removal may be the best option for long-term resolution. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs and medical history.

Which delivery is more painful?
Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. You'll probably hear the term ânatural childbirthâ .The risk for discomfort after the birth is greater due to normal and expected surgical pain along the incision and abdominal soreness. These discomforts can last for several months. There is an increased risk for rupture of the C-section scar during subsequent deliveries and subsequent pregnancies.

I'm really worried because I've been married for about four months, and every time my wife and I try to have sex, she experiences a lot of pain in her vagina. She's a virgin. What could be causing this, and how can we deal with it?
It's common for women to experience discomfort or pain during intercourse, especially if they're virgins. This can be due to tension, anxiety, or the hymen. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to ensure there are no underlying issues, and consider using a lubricant and taking things slowly to help ease the discomfort. Open communication with your wife is also important to ensure both of you are comfortable.
