I have a 2.6 cm dermoid cyst in my right ovary and some small PCOD in both ovaries could this cause problems later? Is it possible to manage this without surgery?

Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.

I'm about four months pregnant and my gynaecologist started me on cutenox injections back in my second month. Lately, I'm noticing that my thigh muscles are getting hard from the injections and it takes a while for the spots to heal. One time, after an injection, I started bleeding and it took hours to stop, even though my platelets are fine. My doctor wants me to continue these injections for the whole nine months. Is this safe for such a long period? And if I decide to stop them, could it harm my baby? I'm worried and would love some clarity.

The prolonged use of Cutenox injections, containing low molecular weight heparin, for 9 months may increase the risk of osteoporosis, bleeding complications, and thrombocytopenia, and although generally considered safe during pregnancy, the frequent bleeding episodes and muscle hardening you're experiencing warrant a reevaluation of your treatment plan with your gynaecologist to weigh the benefits and risks and consider alternative options, as abruptly stopping the injections may not harm the baby, but a gradual transition or adjustment under medical guidance is recommended.
