My sister's been dealing with a 9mm right ovarian cyst for almost a year now, and despite going through several treatments, she's not getting better. Now she's started vomiting even when she hasnt eaten, she's got constant body pain, continuous diarrhea, and sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Could you guide me on what kind of specialist we should see and what tests or exams might be necessary?

Can cinnamon actually work as a natural way to end a pregnancy? I tested positive on a home test a couple of days ago and I'm not really looking to keep the pregnancy going. I'm thinking about natural options since it's really early, like just a week or two. Do these natural methods really work, and if so, how much cinnamon powder would I need to use?

Using cinnamon as a natural means of abortion is not recommended as it can be unsafe and ineffective. It is important to seek medical advice for safe and appropriate options for terminating a pregnancy. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further guidance and support.
