Question 1

Can you have PCOS but still have regular periods? My ultrasound just mentioned I have bilateral polycystic ovaries, not PCOS or PCOD. What does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Bilateral polycystic ovaries, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal condition that affects the ovaries. It occurs when the ovaries produce too many androgens, which are hormones that prevent follicles from maturing and releasing eggs. This results in the ovaries becoming enlarged and containing many small cysts. 
PCOS is a common condition that affects women of reproductive age. Symptoms include:
Irregular or missed periods
Excess hair growth
Acne
Weight gain
Darkening of the skin
Skin tags
Thinning hair

Question 2

So, I'm wondering when it's safe to have sex after having chicken pox? There aren't any new blisters coming up anymore, and the ones I have are drying out. It's been about 5 days since I found out I had it. What's the deal with this?

Accepted Answer

It's safe to refrain from sexual intercourse for atleast a period of 3-4 weeks to avoid cross infection.

Question 3

I'm 19 and I've recently stopped watching porn and masturbating. However, since then, I've been experiencing nightfall almost every day. Is there a way to address this issue or something I'm missing? I'm really looking for some advice here.

Accepted Answer

It's normal to experience nightfall (nocturnal emissions) during adolescence, especially after changes in sexual habits. It usually resolves on its own over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep, stress management, and avoiding overstimulation can help reduce frequency. If it continues or concerns you, a visit to a doctor might provide further reassurance.

Question 4

I'm really bothered by premature ejaculation and I'm not sure why it's happening. Is there any way to overcome it? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Premature ejaculation can be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or relationship issues. To overcome it, focusing on relaxation techniques, communication with your partner, and possibly seeking professional advice for behavioral therapy or medication can help. Don't hesitate to consult a healthcare provider for a tailored plan.

Question 5

I'm experiencing some pain in my left testicle, and it's kind of radiating from my lower abdomen on the left side down to there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are describing could be due to a condition called epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to help with the pain and inflammation. It is important to also rest, wear supportive underwear, and apply a cold pack to the area. However, it is crucial to see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment, as antibiotics may be needed if the cause is bacterial.

Question 6

I had sex on January 24th, and today I noticed a white sticky discharge around my vagina. The condom didn't tear. What could this discharge mean? Is there any chance I could be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
