My bartholin cyst keeps coming back every month or two, especially around my period, and gets as big as a peanut with a lot of pain. I've seen two doctors, but it goes away and then comes back within weeks. Is there any way to prevent it from recurring without surgery?

While a completely guaranteed non-surgical solution to prevent Bartholin cyst recurrence is difficult to find, several strategies can help manage recurring cysts and reduce the likelihood of future episodes. These include focusing on good hygiene, potentially using sitz baths, and, if needed, discussing drainage procedures with your doctor

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and got some test results, but I'm not sure what they mean. It says I have a few ringworm of P. falciparum, and the Widal test shows some positive results. Does this mean I have a lot of malaria or any thyroid issues? Can these be treated so they don't harm me or my baby? Also, I often notice a cream discharge, but it usually doesn't have a smell. Could this be related? I would really appreciate your advice.

I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant and I've got these annoying red rashes around my belly that are super itchy. Im not sure if theyre from using a razor or what. Is it safe for me to take levocet to help with this? And would it be okay to try just one dose, given I could be heading to the hospital for delivery any day now?

. For temporary relief, topical treatments like calamine lotion or a cool compress may be helpful, but make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider to get the most appropriate treatment.

I had a medical abortion a few days ago. I took mifepristone and misoprostol as instructed, but I haven't had any stomach cramps and only noticed slight bleeding for 45 hours. I've been feeling nauseous and even vomited a couple of times, but not right after taking the tabletit was about 3 hours later. The kit I used had 1 mifepristone, which I took two days before, and 4 misoprostol tablets that I took two each with a 78-hour gap in between. I'm really worriedis the abortion successful? If it isn't, what should I do? Is it okay to repeat the process?

To confirm if the abortion was successful, you should follow up with a healthcare provider for an ultrasound examination. If the abortion was not successful, your healthcare provider may recommend a surgical procedure to complete the abortion. It is not safe to repeat the medical abortion process without consulting a healthcare provider. It is important to seek medical advice to ensure your safety and well-being.
