I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

View allI recently had an ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days, but it showed I'm actually measuring at 6 weeks 6 days with a fetal heartbeat. For the past four days, I was feeling really nauseous and even threw up as soon as I woke up, but all of a sudden, since yesterday, those symptoms are completely gone and now I feel perfectly fine. Should I be worried about this change? Is it normal to have symptoms come and go at 7 weeks? I had a missed miscarriage around this same time last year, so Im pretty nervous about it happening again.
Possible reasons for recurrent seizures despite proper medication include: medication non-adherence or inconsistent levels, tumor regrowth or recurrence, seizures triggered by external factors (e.g., stress, sleep deprivation), or underlying neurological conditions (e.g., epilepsy). Other potential causes include medication side effects, interactions with other medications, or hormonal changes. Consult a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and adjustment of treatment.

I just found out I have a 8 x 7.2 cm uterus fibroid after my MRI and ultrasound. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried and would like to know my options.
Many women with uterine fibroids experience no signs or symptoms, or only mildly annoying signs and symptoms that they can live with. If that's the case for you, watchful waiting could be the best option. Fibroids aren't cancerous. They usually grow slowly — or not at all — and tend to shrink after menopause, when levels of reproductive hormones drop. Medications for uterine fibroids target hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. They don't eliminate fibroids, but may shrink them. Consult gynecologist for further advice...
