In addition to regulating the menstrual cycle, estrogen affects the reproductive tract, the urinary tract, the heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles, and the brain.

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 and would appreciate your advice. Me and my girlfriend only had oral sex about a month ago, and we're pretty sure it was just that. She usually has irregular periods, and her last one was on March 3rd. This month, her period skipped, and she's been worried ever since. After missing her period by a couple of days, we did a urine HCG test which came back negative, and then repeated it 4 days later, still negative. She's noticed some whitish smears in her underpants, and she said she's experienced this before due to sexual arousal. But now that seems to have stopped. Could there still be any chance of pregnancy from oral sex? Is it even possible for saliva to cause pregnancy when I kissed her and then went down on her? Please help me understand what's going on.

no need to worry sice hcg is negative you are less likely to be pregnant and it is less likely to be pregnant by your methods consult your gynac for further treatment

I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period and my boyfriend ejaculated a little inside me. I took an emergency contraceptive (Unwanted 72) within 6 hours after that. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting pregnant. Can you tell me what are the chances of pregnancy in this situation? Also, if I'm not pregnant, when should I expect my next period?

You can expect some changes in your menstrual cycle after taking Unwanted 72. Your period may come earlier or later than usual, and it may be heavier or lighter than normal. It is difficult to predict the exact timing of your next period, but it is common for women to experience a delay of a few days to a week. To help ease your concerns, you can take a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.
