If it is painful it can be an indication of bartholin's abscess. You will need course of antibiotics and painkillers. If you are getting recurrent infection, it is better to get the bartholin cyst removed

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

I had unprotected sex with my fiance and took the ipill about 14 hours later. A couple of days after taking it, I experienced some vaginal bleeding. Should I be concerned about this, or is it a normal side effect of the ipill?

It's normal to experience vaginal bleeding a few days after taking the i-Pill, as it's a common side effect due to hormonal changes. This is usually not a cause for concern. However, if the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, or if you miss your next period, consider consulting a doctor to rule out other issues.

I'm a bit worried because my period that started on April 5th and ended on the 11th seemed normal, but then after starting some heavy workouts at the gym on April 14th, I noticed some menstrual spotting with black clots beginning on April 24th. Is it common for exercise to cause this, or should I be concerned about something else?

It is not uncommon for women to experience spotting or changes in their menstrual cycle when they start a new exercise routine, especially if it is intense or involves heavy workouts. The black color clots may be due to the shedding of old blood from the uterus. This is usually not a cause for concern and can be a result of the physical stress placed on the body during exercise. However, if the spotting persists or is accompanied by severe pain or other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider.

1. I've been diagnosed with a 5.6mm x 4.2mm dermoid cyst on my right ovary what actually causes these cysts to form in the body? I've heard they can contain weird things like teeth or hair how does that even happen? 2. Is surgery the only way to treat a dermoid cyst, or can it be managed with alternatives like yoga, Ayurveda, or homeopathy? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible. 3. It's called a monster cyst because it might have tissues like bone or nails how does something like that develop inside the body on its own?

Surgery s the only treatment option for a dermoid cyst..get it removed laparoscopically
