I've had a bartholin cyst for 2 years now and really want to avoid surgery can it be treated with just medication? What options do I have for non-surgical treatment?

Yes, it's possible to treat a Bartholin cyst without surgery. Mild cases often respond well to home remedies like sitz baths, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relief. In some cases, antibiotics or a drainage catheter may be needed for infected or recurring cysts

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and just got my NT scan results today. I'm 29 years old and the scan showed an NT measurement of 1.7mm. Is that within the normal range? Should I be concerned about it?

Nuchal translucency (NT) scan sometimes called the early morphology scan done between 11 and 13 weeks...less than 3.5mm at 13 weeks is considered normal... So nothing to worry it's within normal range
