I've been diagnosed with a chocolate cyst in my left ovary and I'm not sure what surgery to go for should I just get the cyst removed or opt for a hysterectomy too? I'm worried about how this might affect me long-term and what the best option would be for my health

Cyst removal alone is usually sufficient for chocolate cysts. Hysterectomy is rarely necessary unless there are multiple complications or future fertility is not a concern.

I'm looking for some advice on how to prevent pregnancy without using condoms. Are there any natural methods or other options I could consider? I'm hoping for some quick suggestions.

You can use semen withdrawal method for that if suitable. Avoid physical relation during ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle.

I'm really worried about my irregular periods. Earlier this year, a doctor had me do a PCOD panel test, and while all my levels looked fine, the ultrasound showed Im slightly polycystic. I was on Meprate and then APCODOBIS for a couple of months, and they helped with my periods. But the moment I stopped, the irregularity came back. I'm also quite heavy for my age, weighing around 98 kgs, and I'm 5.5 tall. I know I need to focus on exercising and eating right, but my job has been so hectic that it's been tough to fit in time for that. Now, I'm ready to get serious about this. Could you give me some advice on how I can get my period this month and shed some weight over time?
