View allI'm really worried and a bit confused. Is there any chance of pregnancy from non-penetrative sex? We only rubbed, and he didn't have a full erection or ejaculate. But now she's experiencing some brown spotting after 19 days. Her periods are usually irregular, and she hasn't had them for the past two months. We did a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. Could you help us understand what's going on?
While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible to get pregnant from non-penetrative sex, as pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm; however, given the circumstances you described, pregnancy is unlikely; the brown spotting 19 days after the incident could be related to various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or other medical conditions; considering her irregular periods and missed periods for two month

My mom's ultrasound report shows a cyst in her left ovary and a small appendicolith measuring 92.3 mm. Can this be treated with medicine or is surgery the only option?
For an ovarian cyst, treatment options range from observation and medication to surgery depending on size and symptoms. Small cysts may resolve on their own, while larger or symptomatic cysts might require surgical removal or other interventions. For an appendicolith (a stone in the appendix), treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the size of the stone. Options include observation, antibiotics, or surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy).

I'm really concerned about my baby's health after our recent scan. At 12 weeks and 4 days, the NT scan measurement came back as 2.4mm, and the nasal bone is measuring 1.5mm. It's already been 24 hours since the scan, and I'm a bit anxious about whether these measurements are normal or if there's something I should be worried about. Could you please advise on what this could mean and if there are any steps we need to take?
