I've had a red pimple-like bump inside my vagina for about 10 days and it's gotten really painful. Could this just be a pimple or something more serious like a cyst or tumor? I'm really worried about needing surgery. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to treat it at home? The pain is making me anxious and I'd appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

The most common reason for vaginal pimples is a clogged pore. The skin on your vulva contains pores that can become clogged with bacteria, oil, sweat and dead skin. This triggers an immune response, which creates a pimple. Contact dermatitis: A skin reaction to something that touches your vulva

View allI'm a bit worried because my wife is about six weeks pregnant based on her last menstrual period, although the doctor mentioned it might be earlier. We had an ultrasound today and the gestational sac and yolk sac are visible, but the doctor wasn't sure if the fetal pole is there. I've got the ultrasound picture with me. Does it look like there's a fetal pole in this image? Can you let me know what you think?
Based on the ultrasound image, a fetal pole should be visible around 5-6 weeks gestation. However, without visually examining the image, it's challenging to determine visibility. To clarify, consult the ultrasound specialist or radiologist who performed the scan.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between PCO and PCOS because I've been reading about both and it's a bit confusing. Can you explain how they're different from each other? I'm also curious about the symptoms for each one and what kind of treatments are usually recommended for them. I've been experiencing some irregular cycles and want to know if it's related to either of these. Can you help me understand this better?
PCO (Polycystic Ovaries) refers to ovarian cysts, while PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder characterized by PCO, irregular periods, and hyperandrogenism, with symptoms including acne, excess hair growth, weight gain, and infertility; treatments include birth control pills, fertility medications, anti-androgen medications, and lifestyle changes, with PCOS requiring additional treatments like metformin and surgery in some cases.

I'm wondering about the possibility of having twins after two eggs were ruptured with an HCG injection. If both eggs get fertilized, are twins likely? And in a case where only one egg fertilizes, what happens to the other egg that was ruptured?
follicular study can predict the twin pregnancy
