Its common to experience vaginal bleeding after taking the i-pill, as it can affect your hormonal balance. This bleeding is usually a side effect and should stop within a few days. However, if it persists or you have concerns, its best to consult your doctor for further guidance.

I noticed some nabothian cysts on my cervix during a recent checkup and I'm a bit worried are these harmful or something to be concerned about Also is there any way to treat them with medication instead of surgery

Nabothian cysts are generally harmless, mucus-filled sacs on the cervix that do not typically require treatment and don't cause any health risks notes Apollo Hospitals. They are often found incidentally during routine gynecological exams and don't usually cause symptoms or require medication. However, if they become large, cause discomfort, or are suspected of being infected, medical evaluation and potentially treatment may be necessary
