Last October I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid ovarian cyst and my left ovary. Now they found a similar 6.4 cm cyst on my right ovary. Is there any way to shrink this cyst since I'm unmarried and want to preserve my fertility?

Hormonal cysts can sometimes be shrunk with birth control pills. Fertility-sparing surgery like cystectomy is an option if it grows or causes symptoms.

Hey, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Orofer XT tonic for women. I've got low ferritin levels, but my hemoglobin is at 12. I came across a review that mentioned it could cause prolonged periods, and that kind of freaked me out. I don't have any symptoms at the moment. Can you help me figure out if it's okay for me to take it?

To prevent Rh incompatibility issues, administer Anti-D Immunoglobulin (Anti-D Ig) to the Rh-negative (O-) mother: - 1st dose: 300 mcg at 28-30 weeks of gestation - 2nd dose: 300 mcg within 72 hours of delivery (if baby is confirmed Rh-positive) This treatment helps prevent the mother's immune system from reacting to the baby's Rh-positive blood cells.
