I've been dealing with a bartholin cyst that's gotten way bigger in the last 3 days and it's making sitting and moving really uncomfortable. This is the third time in 2 years but it usually goes away on its own this time it's much worse. I read about surgical draining but want to avoid that if possible. What can I do to ease this and why do these keep happening?

I'm feeling a bit concerned. My wife is in her 13th week of pregnancy and after doing an Usg level 1 scan, the doctor suggested she start taking ecosprin 75mg daily to help with blood thinning because there's high resistance in the right uterine artery. I'm a bit worried and I just want to know if it's actually safe for her to take ecosprin during pregnancy. What could be the risks or benefits?

Ecosprin 75mg is safe to take during pregnancy, especially for the indication of blood thinning to improve uterine artery blood flow. It is commonly used to prevent complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. Make sure your wife takes Ecosprin 75mg once a day as prescribed by the doctor.

I'm just a bit worried here. My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex last night, and we read somewhere that eating papaya can help prevent pregnancy. She had some about 20 hours after we did it. Is there any truth to this? Can papaya actually help in preventing pregnancy?
