I'm usually pretty regular with my periods, getting them on or before the due date. But this time, it's come a week late, and what's really worrying me is that I'm passing unusually large blood clots along with the normal bleeding. The amount of blood is also way more than I usually get. Is it normal to have clots like this, or should I be concerned about something?

Pre-Teen Exposure to Explicit Content and Involuntary Ejaculation

Normal Physiological Response

  1. Puberty and hormonal changes: At 12 years old, your brother is undergoing significant hormonal changes, which can lead to increased sensitivity and unpredictable physiological responses.
  2. Involuntary ejaculation: It's not uncommon for pre-teens to experience involuntary ejaculation, especially during sleep or in response to unexpected stimuli.

Concerns and Recommendations

  1. Talk to your brother: Have an open and honest conversation with your brother about what happened, ensuring he understands it's a normal physiological response.
  2. Address exposure to explicit content: Discuss the implications of exposure to explicit content at a young age and encourage responsible mobile phone use.
  3. Monitor and guide: Keep a close eye on your brother's behavior and provide guidance on healthy relationships, boundaries, and online safety.
  4. Consult a pediatrician or counselor: If you're concerned about your brother's response or if he's experiencing emotional distress, consider consulting a pediatrician or a counselor specializing in adolescent development.

I'm 25 and just found out I have a dermoid cyst near my right ovary it's 10x7x9 cm. My doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other options since I also have PCOD. What else can be done about this?

For your 10x7x9 cm dermoid cyst near your right ovary, while laparoscopic surgery is the most common approach, other options exist, especially considering your PCOD diagnosis. Watchful waiting with regular follow-up scans, hormonal contraceptives to reduce cyst formation, or surgical removal of the cyst alone (cystectomy) without removing the ovary (oophorectomy) are possibilities. Your doctor can help determine the best course of action based on your specific circumstances and preferences

I'm experiencing some issues with lubrication during sex, and it's started just in the last 15 days. My partner and I got married 6 months ago, and everything was fine until recently. It's a bit worrying, and I'm not sure what might be causing it or how to fix it. Could there be any specific reasons for this change, or should we try something specific to help?

It's common to experience lubrication issues due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. I recommend trying water-based lubricants for comfort and discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes, like hormonal imbalances or dryness. Open communication with your partner can also help reduce stress during intimacy.

I'm pregnant and I've noticed that one of my nipples is retracting or going inward. What could this mean, and should I be worried? If I decide to see a doctor, do you have any idea how much a hospital visit might cost for something like this?

You can take a urine pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. It sounds like you may be experiencing inverted nipples, which can sometimes occur during pregnancy. To help with this issue, you can try using a nipple extractor or breast shells to draw out the nipple. Additionally, gently massaging the nipple and expressing milk can also help. As for the cost at the hospital, it can vary depending on your location and the specific services you receive. It would be best to contact the hospital or your healthcare provider for more information on the potential costs. During pregnancy, it's important to take care of your breasts and nipples to prepare for breastfeeding. If you have any concerns or if the issue persists, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
