Yes, it's possible to treat a Bartholin cyst without surgery. Mild cases often respond well to home remedies like sitz baths, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relief. In some cases, antibiotics or a drainage catheter may be needed for infected or recurring cysts

Question

I've been trying to figure out what's going on. I had a miscarriage back in December 2014, and my doctor mentioned it was due to a viral infection with terms like cytomegalovirus and Rubella igG coming up, and something about HSV 12 igG too. After a TORCH profile test, my gyno told me to wait six months before trying again, but it's been eight months now, and I still can't get pregnant despite following all the doctor's instructions. I'm feeling pretty worried and wondering what steps I should take next. Any advice on what I might be missing?

Question

I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Question

I'm currently pregnant and a bit anxious about my baby's development. At my latest check-up, they told me my baby weighs 189 grams. Is this a normal weight for around four months into the pregnancy? I'm kind of worried and would really appreciate some guidance.
