Is there any way to get rid of a cyst without going through surgery? Also, what are some effective ways to manage really bad menstrual cramps?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there are various ways to manage or treat cysts without surgery. Many cysts, particularly ovarian cysts, will resolve on their own, especially if they are benign. Other cyst types, like sebaceous cysts, may be treated with heat compresses or steroid injections to reduce inflammation. For menstrual cramps, heat therapy, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief

View allI'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?
Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy. Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

I'm a new mom with a 4-month-old baby, and I'm breastfeeding. I'm worried about finding a safe emergency contraceptive pill that won't affect my breast milk. Could you let me know if options like ipill or Unwanted 72 are safe to use while I'm nursing?
For breastfeeding mothers, the World Health Organization recommends using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), such as Ulipristal acetate (not available in India) or Levonorgestrel (available in India as Unwanted-72 or similar formulations), which are safer than combined estrogen-progestin pills like i-pill; however, it's essential to consult your GYNAECOLOGIST before taking any ECP while breastfeeding.

I'm a little confused about my recent double marker test results from last week. The beta hCG is at 188.80 ngmL and PAPP-A is at 6.76 mIUmL. I'm having twins, so I'm wondering if these numbers are in the normal range or if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help me understand what these results mean?
