I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?

I'm really worried about what's happening with me and my husband. We've been having great sex for a year, but lately, it's like he can't fully enter me. It feels like there's something blocking or that I'm just too tight, and he also says it feels different and is uncomfortable, sometimes even painful for him. Could this be related to the fungal infection I had last month? What can we do about this?

I've been diagnosed with an ovarian hemorrhagic cyst and I'm really worried can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery? I'd like to understand my options better

Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are often treated conservatively, meaning they may resolve on their own within a few menstrual cycles, especially if they are small and asymptomatic. However, if they become large, cause pain, or lead to complications like rupture, surgery might be necessary
