I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?

Using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse is safe, but it may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms if you're using them. To avoid pregnancy-related concerns, opt for water-based lubricants like Pre-Seed, which are sperm-friendly and won't hinder conception.

I have a 4.9 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and attached my scan report. Could you check and let me know if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medication? Also, is there a chance it might go away on its own with lifestyle changes?

Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. If your cyst is likely functional, your provider may suggest a wait-and-see approach. You may have a follow-up ultrasound within a few weeks or months after your diagnosis to see if your cyst is getting larger, smaller or changing in any other way.

I found out I have a right ovarian lesion with fat calcific spec and hemorrhagic foci, possibly a dermoid cyst. Should I be worried about this? Is surgery necessary or can it resolve on its own? What are my options here?

A right ovarian lesion with calcification could indicate a benign dermoid cyst, but it‚Äôs essential to monitor it. Surgery may be recommended if it's causing discomfort or growing, but often these cysts resolve on their own without intervention.

Can I get pregnant with irregular period?

Yes, if sexual intercourse occurs during ovulation time then you can get pregnant. Ovulation time is from day 12 to day 17 (first day of period counted as day 1) usually in women with regular periods. In women with iregular periods, ovulation can happen anytime, thereby not knowing the time to do sexual intercourse.
