My right ovary is bulky measuring 4.5x2.8x1.7 cm with a small functional cyst and the right tube is edematous with mild fluid around it but the left ovary is normal. Should I consider surgery or would medication be better for this?

It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, but generally, surgery for ovarian cysts and related issues is not always the first choice, especially when the cyst is small and functional. Medication or a wait-and-see approach might be recommended first

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's currently 25 weeks pregnant, and we recently did a CBC test where the ESR level came back high at 90mm. Is this normal, or should we be concerned? Could this be a problem for the baby? I really need some advice on this.

I'm really worried about the results from my recent color Doppler. It showed a baby weight of 2.293 grams, AFI at 6.5, and two loops of the cord around the neck. The doctor suggested I might need a c-section because of the nuchal cord and low AFI. Is there any chance I could still have a normal delivery? And is it possible to increase the AFI by drinking around 3-4 liters of water now?

its better you undergo c- section. afi cannot be increased by drinking water
