I'm wondering if it's safe for a mom who's breastfeeding to take deworming medication just five days after childbirth? Is there any potential risk to the baby, or should she wait a bit longer before doing this? Any advice would be really helpful!

View allI noticed a solid mass behind my left ovary measuring around 5 mm. Is surgery necessary for this or can it be dissolved with medication? What would you suggest?
A solid mass behind the ovary measuring 5mm, while concerning, does not automatically necessitate surgery. A doctor will likely recommend monitoring with ultrasound scans and blood tests to assess any changes over time. Medication is not typically used to dissolve solid masses, but hormonal birth control may be suggested if the mass is part of a cycle-related ovarian cyst and to prevent future cysts. If the mass grows, shows concerning characteristics, or causes symptoms, surgery might be needed, but it's not usually required for such a small solid mass

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and considering abortion. The doctor suggested surgical abortion but I'm wondering about the success rate of medical abortion and which medicines would be safe to use at this stage
At 6 weeks, surgical abortion is safer; medical abortion has 90–95% success—consult a gynecologist.

My vaginal opening is really tight and sex is painful when trying to insert. The doctor mentioned I might need a minor procedure, but I'm wondering if there are other options like medications or non-surgical treatments that could help first
Vaginismus is an involuntary tensing of the vagina. People experience it at the start of sex, while inserting a tampon or while getting a pelvic exam. Vaginismus can make intercourse painful (dyspareunia). Kegels, vaginal dilators and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help relax muscles and stop spasms.
