I'm feeling a bit concerned and confused. Our gynecologist recommended this 'suggest 200' medication after a cervical scan showed my wife has a low-lying placenta at four months pregnant. I've read that taking this isn't usually advised during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this? Is it safe, and should we be worried about potential effects?

I've been dealing with a painful Bartholin abscess or cyst and wondering if homeopathy can actually cure it completely or if surgery is the only option. Does homeopathy really work for this and can it prevent it from coming back?

I'm really stressed out because I was supposed to get my period around the time of my surgery, but it hasn't happened. I've been worried about the extraction for about a week. Then, I picked up a cough and cold, along with some digestive issues, and had to take a few antibiotics and steroids. I've never missed a period before, and I'm still a virgin, so this is freaking me out a bit. The last time I had my period was around May 15th. Should I be concerned about this delay? What could be causing it?
