I've noticed a painful lump near my clitoris, just above it. It's itchy and hurts when I touch it. Could this be something serious? Would I need surgery or just antibiotics to treat it?

I'm dealing with some pretty heavy and long-lasting bleeding because of my PCOS, and my gynecologist recommended I start taking Diane35 tablets. I'm on my second strip of pills now, and I typically begin with the first tablet in the pack from the fifth day of my period, and then I wait for my cycle to start again once I finish the strip. I've been doing regular walking exercisesabout 45 to 60 minutes, five times a week. But I've noticed that my weight has gone up by 2 kgs in the last two monthsfrom 68 to 70 kgs. My height is 5'4". Could Diane35 be causing this weight gain?

Weight gain can be a side effect of Diane-35, although it does not happen to everyone. It is important to monitor your weight regularly and discuss any concerns with your gynecologist. In the meantime, continue with your regular walking exercise routine as it is beneficial for your overall health.

I'm really worried and hoping for some help. My doctor suggested my pregnant wife get Ovidac 5000 IU injections to help prevent a miscarriage. We managed to get one injection at a local store but we need two more for the next couple of weeks. I've already tried uploading the prescription, but our order got canceled. I'm having a tough time finding it anywhere nearby. What should we do next? Can you help us figure out how to get these important injections?

Since you mentioned that the injections were recommended to help prevent miscarriage, please ensure to keep your doctor informed about any issues with accessing the medication so that alternative treatments or options can be discussed.
