I've just found out from a scan today that I have a tiny nabothian cyst on my cervix. I'm not really sure what it means and I'm a bit worried because I already have a cyst on my left ovary. Is this nabothian cyst something I should be concerned about? Will it mess with any pregnancy treatments I'm planning on having? Please, I could really use some advice!

A nabothian cyst is a small, benign growth on the cervix, typically harmless and asymptomatic, often resolving on its own; having a nabothian cyst is unlikely to affect pregnancy or fertility, but it's essential to monitor both the nabothian cyst and the ovarian cyst through regular check-ups with your gynecologist to ensure they don't cause any complications or affect your reproductive health

I'm putting this tablet in my vagina at night, but when I check in the morning, it comes out swollen and still in the same shape. Is it actually doing anything?

My wife's just entered her first month of pregnancy and we're curious about whether it's safe for us to have sex. If it is okay, could you please suggest what positions might be safe during this time?

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy! In the first month, it's generally safe to have sex unless advised otherwise by her doctor. Comfortable positions, like side-lying or her on top, can help avoid pressure on the abdomen. Always communicate with your wife and check with her doctor for any specific concerns.

I have a dermoid cyst in my right ovary measuring 43x34x44 mm from an MRI in February and it might have grown since then. I feel swelling in my right thigh and abdomen. Several gynecologists recommended laparoscopy because they say it contains hair and teeth and could twist. I'm hesitant about surgery can homeopathy actually dissolve this kind of cyst? I'm single and a bit nervous about going under the knife.

Dermoid cysts with hair or teeth elements do not dissolve naturally.Laparoscopy is usually recommended to prevent complications like torsion.
