My wife started her period today, and she noticed a piece of white flesh, about the size of a finger, soaked in blood. It's the second time this has happened. We're really concerned and would like to know what this might be and if there's any reason to worry. Could you please give us some insight into what it is and why it's happening?

I've been diagnosed with a UTI and after some tests, they found an ovarian cyst measuring 42x40 mm. Should a cyst this size require surgery? I'm a bit worried and would like to understand my options better.

Small cysts measuring about 4 cms resolve by itself.Only large cyst about 5-10 requires surgery.

We're dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and after looking over all the reports, we've been considering going the medication route for an abortion. I'm really concerned about one thing: her hemoglobin level is at 8.5. Are tablets still safe to use in this situation?

While medical abortion can be safe and effective, low hemoglobin levels increase the risks, particularly with bleeding. It's crucial to first consult with a gynacologist to assess whether medical abortion is a safe option and to consider ways to improve her hemoglobin before proceeding or a blood transfusion
