I'm supposed to have sex during this specific period like my doctor suggested, but I've suddenly come down with a fever. Is it safe or advisable to proceed with sex while I'm not feeling well?

It's generally advisable to avoid sexual activity when you have a fever, as your body is already fighting an infection and may need rest. Engaging in sex could potentially strain your immune system further. It's important to prioritize your health and consult with your doctor for personalized guidance.

3 months

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I recently got an ultrasound and found out that my ovaries are enlarged with lots of small cysts around the edges. One of my ovaries is 8mm3 in volume and the other is 10mm3. How serious is this? Is it something I should be worried about or need medical attention for? My periods have been on time and my thyroid levels are normal, so I'm a bit confused about what this means for my health.
