If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.

I'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.

My mom has stage 3c ovarian cancer and has done 3 chemo cycles but it doesn't seem to be working well. She's down to just 27kg and one doctor suggested debulking surgery. I'm really concerned how risky would surgery be at her current weight and what are her chances of pulling through

Debulking surgery at 27kg in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer presents significant risks, but also potentially offers a chance at better outcomes. While the surgery itself is risky due to the patient's weakened state, it could reduce the tumor burden and potentially improve response to subsequent chemotherapy. The decision should be made after careful consideration of all factors, including the patient's overall health, the extent of the cancer, and the potential benefits of surgery.

We recently visited the doctor because my wife is pregnant. Two months ago, she had a miscarriage, and the doctor recommended Duphaston. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take Jigest 10mg as a substitute for Duphaston 10mg. Is it safe for us to make this switch? Would love your advice on this.

Jigest 10mg Tablet and Duphaston 10mg Tablet are not exactly the same, although they are used for similar purposes. _Key Differences_ 1. _Active Ingredient_: Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone, while Jigest contains Micronized Progesterone. 2. _Hormonal Action_: Both medications are progestins, but they have slightly different hormonal actions and effects on the body. _Substitution Safety_ While Jigest can be used as a substitute for Duphaston in some cases, it's essential to consult your doctor before making any changes to your wife's medication regimen.
