Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of your uterus, most commonly in your fallopian tube.

1. I've been diagnosed with a 5.6mm x 4.2mm dermoid cyst on my right ovary what actually causes these cysts to form in the body? I've heard they can contain weird things like teeth or hair how does that even happen? 2. Is surgery the only way to treat a dermoid cyst, or can it be managed with alternatives like yoga, Ayurveda, or homeopathy? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible. 3. It's called a monster cyst because it might have tissues like bone or nails how does something like that develop inside the body on its own?

I've got a question about my PCOD situation. So, I went for a follicle study and on the 11th day, my right ovary size was 2719 and the endometrium thickness was 9. Then, ovulation happened on the 13th day but my endometrium thickness dropped to 5.3. My doctor mentioned that this is due to my PCOD and prescribed me an HCG 5000 injection twice along with some tablets and sachets. I'm just wondering, with my endometrium thickness being at 5.3, is there a chance I could conceive in this cycle? Any insights would be appreciated.

With the HCG injections and medications prescribed by your doctor, there is a possibility of conceiving in this cycle despite the endometrium thickness of 5.3mm. The medications and injections are aimed at supporting the ovulation and improving the chances of successful implantation. It is important to continue following your doctor's instructions and guidance for the best possible outcome.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and recently moved to stay with my mom. My new doctor here advised me not to take Ecosprin, but my previous doctor had prescribed me Ecosprin 150 mg after my double marker test showed something about FGR before 37 weeks with a 1 in 643 ratio. Now, I'm confused about whether I should continue taking Ecosprin or not, and if I do take it, when should I stop? I'm really unsure about what to do and would appreciate your guidance.

It's understandable to feel confused. Given your doctor's advice to stop Ecosprin, its important to follow the current recommendation. The initial prescription of Ecosprin might have been due to specific risk factors, but if your new doctor feels it's not necessary, trust their expertise. You can clarify the exact timing for stopping the medication during your next appointment.
