Question 1

I'm a bit worried and looking for some advice. My last period was on March 20, and on April 24, I noticed some pink discharge or spotting just once when I wiped. I've taken a few pregnancy tests, but they're really faint. Even though I've had my tubes tied for 2 years, I've heard that you can still get pregnant with that. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

While your chance of pregnancy is significantly lower with tubal ligation, it is still possible, though rare. The faint line on your test may suggest pregnancy, but its best to confirm with a follow-up test or a visit to your doctor. If you do find out youre pregnant, your doctor can guide you through the next steps to ensure everything is progressing normally.

Question 2

I have a 4.4cm functional follicular cyst on my left ovary with benign features but my periods have been irregular and frequent happening twice recently Will this cyst resolve on its own or do I need surgery

Accepted Answer

A functional follicular cyst of this size is likely to resolve on its own. It's common for them to disappear within a few months, and your doctor may recommend a "wait-and-see" approach with a follow-up ultrasound to monitor its size. If the cyst doesn't resolve or if you experience symptoms like pain or pelvic fullness, surgery might be considered. Surgery is also recommended if the cyst is very large or if there's suspicion of a more complex cyst

Question 3

Can I manage heavy bleeding and endometrial hyperplasia without surgery? My endometrium is thick and I have polyps but I'm hoping to avoid an operation are there other options?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many cases of endometrial hyperplasia and heavy bleeding can be managed effectively without surgery. Progestin therapy is often the first line of treatment, and in some cases, other medical options like hormonal IUDs or medications can help reduce bleeding and manage the hyperplasia. Lifestyle changes and regular monitoring with your doctor are also important aspects of management.

I'm dealing with constipation and I'm wondering if it's safe to take Dulcoflex while I'm pregnant. If it's not recommended, what other options would you suggest for some relief?
