View allI have a 25 mm vulvar cyst and my doctor recommended draining it surgically. I want to get it done at the best hospital possible how much would this procedure usually cost? Also, what should I look for when choosing a hospital for this kind of surgery?
Cost is ₹20,000–₹50,000 for cyst drainage in good hospitals—look for facilities with gynae surgeons and infection control.

I'm an unmarried girl and for the past 6 months, I've been dealing with my periods being delayed. It's been between 40 to 50 days now. I do everything like yoga and exercise, and my BMI is normal. I'm not sure why this is happening. I work in IT and sometimes have to work more than 9 hours. Could that be the reason? I'm quite confused and would appreciate some insight.
As an unmarried girl experiencing delayed periods (40-50 days) despite a normal BMI, yoga, and exercise, possible causes may include stress, hormonal imbalances, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can be triggered or exacerbated by long working hours (>9 hrs) and an IT profession's sedentary lifestyle.

I've had my period twice in the span of 15 days. Honestly, I haven't done anything different with my diet or daily routine. I've been on some meds for about a month and a half now, though. Back in October, I was expecting my period around the 28th, but it showed up on the 18th. And now it's here again on November 3rd. The medications I'm currently taking include Indocap, Pantocid, Defcort, and Chekbak D3. Why might my period be so early, and what should I do about it?
The early period could be due to the medications you are taking. Indocap is a brand name for Indomethacin, which can sometimes affect menstrual cycles. Pantocid is a brand name for Pantoprazole, which may also have an impact on menstrual regularity. Defcort is a brand name for Deflazacort, which can sometimes cause hormonal changes leading to irregular periods. Chekbak D3 is a supplement containing Vitamin D3, which is not known to directly affect menstrual cycles. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of these medications affecting your menstrual cycle. They may suggest adjusting the dosage or switching to alternative medications if necessary.
