I'm dealing with some pretty heavy and long-lasting bleeding because of my PCOS, and my gynecologist recommended I start taking Diane35 tablets. I'm on my second strip of pills now, and I typically begin with the first tablet in the pack from the fifth day of my period, and then I wait for my cycle to start again once I finish the strip. I've been doing regular walking exercisesabout 45 to 60 minutes, five times a week. But I've noticed that my weight has gone up by 2 kgs in the last two monthsfrom 68 to 70 kgs. My height is 5'4". Could Diane35 be causing this weight gain?

Weight gain can be a side effect of Diane-35, although it does not happen to everyone. It is important to monitor your weight regularly and discuss any concerns with your gynecologist. In the meantime, continue with your regular walking exercise routine as it is beneficial for your overall health.

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.

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
