I've been dealing with a cyst on my left ovary, and initially, it was 4cm but now it's shrunk to 3cm. Occasionally, I get these sharp abdominal pains, which are pretty concerning. I also have my periods every 20 to 22 days, but they bring on intense pain in my legs, thighs, and lower left back. My doctor hasn't prescribed any meds for the cyst yet, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be worried about. Is it crucial to get this cyst treated, or will it just resolve on its own? Could it cause issues down the road?

A 3cm ovarian cyst might resolve on its own, especially if it's functional, but the sharp pains and irregular, painful periods suggest it should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or persist, treatment may be needed to prevent complications like rupture or fertility issues. Discuss further with your doctor.

View allI'm 13 weeks pregnant, and I recently had an ultrasound for NT. The report mentions that the placenta is forming anteriorly, with the lower margin covering the OS, and it states there's grade 0 AFI adequate. Could you recommend a good hospital for treatment and support throughout the rest of my pregnancy? I'm really hoping for a normal delivery. What should I be concerned about or do next?
Feeling your 3-year-old son's heartbeat by placing your hand on his chest can be a normal finding, especially if he's active and healthy. _Possible explanations:_ 1. *Thin chest wall*: Children's chest walls are thinner, making it easier to feel their heartbeat. 2. *Normal cardiac anatomy*: Some people's hearts are more prominent or closer to the chest surface, making the heartbeat more palpable. 3. *Increased cardiac output*: Active children may have a higher cardiac output, making their heartbeat more noticeable. _No cause for concern_: Unless your son is experiencing other symptoms such as: - Shortness of breath - Fatigue - Pale skin - Dizziness - Chest pain
