Had laparoscopic cystectomy for a 7cm dermoid ovarian cyst on October 11th but still feeling sore around the incisions with abdominal pain and backache. How long until full recovery and is flying to another state 20 days after surgery safe?

Full recovery after a laparoscopic cystectomy can take 4-6 weeks, depending on individual factors. Flying 20 days after surgery might be risky if you're still experiencing pain, especially back pain, which can indicate discomfort from the surgery. It's best to consult with your surgeon before making any travel plans.

I'm feeling a bit concerned. My friend recently hugged her partner, and their lower private parts accidentally touched. She had on underwear and track pants, and he was wearing underwear and shorts. Is there any chance she could get pregnant from that?

No, it's highly unlikely that your friend could get pregnant in this situation. For pregnancy to occur, sperm needs to enter the vagina, which wasn't the case here. It's important to stay informed about safe practices to prevent any worries.
