I'm looking at my 7th-month growth scan report and it mentions the placenta being on the posterior and right lateral wall with grade II maturity. What does that mean exactly? Should I be worried or take any special precautions because of this?

What percentage of ovarian cysts are cancerous?

Thirteen to 21 percent of these cysts turn out to be cancerous. You may need the cyst removed if it's growing too large, is painful, or is causing some other problem.

I've been diagnosed with a chocolate cyst in my left ovary and I'm not sure what surgery to go for should I just get the cyst removed or opt for a hysterectomy too? I'm worried about how this might affect me long-term and what the best option would be for my health

Cyst removal alone is usually sufficient for chocolate cysts. Hysterectomy is rarely necessary unless there are multiple complications or future fertility is not a concern.

I've been using gestone 200 tablets vaginally since day 17 of my cycle, and now it's been 30 days without my period. I've noticed some light bleeding though. Could this mean I'm pregnant, or does gestone typically cause a delay in periods?

Hello! Gestone 200 can sometimes delay your period, as it supports the uterine lining. Light bleeding could be spotting, which sometimes happens while on progesterone. Its best to take a pregnancy test or consult your doctor to confirm whether you are pregnant.
