My wife was diagnosed with PCOD and has a large cyst in her left ovary. The doctor recommended surgery due to the cyst size, but we're hesitant about going under the knife. Are there any alternative treatments or options we can explore first?

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've just found out that I'm pregnant. I've been using a Levolin inhaler for my asthma, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Can I keep using this inhaler during my pregnancy, or should I look into other treatment options?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! While Levolin (salbutamol) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, it's important to consult your doctor to assess your specific needs. They may recommend adjusting your medication or dosage based on your asthma control and pregnancy status.

I've got my scan results, and it shows Crl at 0.48cm, G.A is 6 weeks 1 day, E.D.D is 12042022, Heartbeat is regular at 124Bpm, and a summary of normal pregnancy size for 6 weeks and 1 day. There's also a left ovarian simple cyst. I'm just wondering, based on these results, should I go for another scan in a week, or is everything looking okay for now?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
