I'm really worried because I just realized that I've been drinking water from a dark bottle for the past couple of days, and it turns out there are these tiny red worms in it. I'm six months pregnant, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Are these worms harmful or dangerous for me and my baby?

No need to worry, all the red worms will be killed & digested with the acid present in your stomach. It is a protein rich diet

My sister's been dealing with a 9mm right ovarian cyst for almost a year now, and despite going through several treatments, she's not getting better. Now she's started vomiting even when she hasnt eaten, she's got constant body pain, continuous diarrhea, and sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Could you guide me on what kind of specialist we should see and what tests or exams might be necessary?

I'm wondering if it's safe to have sex while my wife is 18 weeks pregnant. Some of my friends say its fine, but I want to make sure. Can you let me know if there are any risks or things we should be careful about at this stage?

I'm a bit confused about how periods and ovulation are connected. Is it possible to have a period without ovulating? And if I do ovulate, does that mean I'll definitely get my period about 15 days after? I'm just trying to understand how it all works.

Yes, it is possible to have a menstrual period without ovulation. This is known as an anovulatory cycle. Yes, typically after ovulation, a menstrual period occurs around 14 days later. This is known as the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. If fertilization does not occur, the uterine lining sheds, resulting in menstruation. If you are looking for a medication to regulate your menstrual cycle, you can consider using oral contraceptive pills such as Yaz or Yasmin.
