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.

I'm feeling really unsure and need some advice. My girlfriend got pregnant back in January 2018, and we decided to go for an abortion. She's O negative and I'm B positive, so the doctor gave her an anti-D injection back then. Now, she's pregnant again in June 2018, and we're considering another abortion because we're not ready for a baby. I'm a bit worried and wondering if she needs another anti-D injection this time. Also, what's the best way to go about the abortion safely? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm kinda confused about the USG report I got. It mentions that my uterus is normal in size and texture, and no myometrial SOL is seen. The endometrial echo and thickness seem normal too, and the cervix is fine. My ovaries also look normal, with no SOL, and no free fluid in the POD. But the thing is, I just really want to know if this means I could be pregnant or not. Could you help me understand what this report actually says about my pregnancy status? I'm really unsure about what all this means.

Based on the ultrasound report, there is no indication of pregnancy, as there is no mention of a gestational sac, embryo, or fetal heartbeat, and the endometrial thickness of 5.2mm is within the normal range for a non-pregnant woman, so if you suspect pregnancy, consider taking a urine pregnancy test or consulting your gynecologist for further evaluation and confirmation.
