I'm currently pregnant and was wondering about taking Ondansetron for nausea and vomiting. Is it safe for me and the baby, and are there any potential side effects I should be aware of? Also, would it really help with the vomiting? I'm feeling a bit worried and just looking for some guidance.

I've been experiencing menstrual periods that come every 15 days. It's starting to worry me. Could there be something specific causing this change, and should I be concerned about seeing a dentist?

I've had this really painful pimple on my vaginal lip for about a week now, and it has pus. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you may have a painful cyst or abscess, possibly a Bartholin's gland cyst, which can become infected and filled with pus. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an evaluation and potential drainage if necessary, and to avoid squeezing or irritating it further in the meantime.

I'm a bit confused about corpus luteum cysts. I read that they're connected to ovulation and menstruation, and nothing to do with being sexually active, but a gynecologist mentioned to me that it's not possible if you're not sexually active. Can you clarify how they actually develop?

not link with sexual activity.
