I'm curious about whether it's safe for my husband to suck my nipples as much as he does. We've been doing this for years where he enjoys doing it for about 40 minutes every other night, followed by clitoral stimulation and then sex. I came across some information suggesting this might not be safe, and it's got me a bit worried. Can you shed some light on this?

Nipple sucking is generally safe as long as there are no infections, open sores, or excessive force that could cause discomfort or injury. If you experience any pain, irritation, or unusual symptoms, its best to consult a doctor for guidance. Otherwise, it's a normal part of intimacy for many couples.

I took an i-pill, and now I'm having bleeding on the 15th day after taking it. Is that normal, or should I be concerned about what it means?

Bleeding after taking an I-Pill is a common side effect and usually indicates that the pill has been effective in preventing pregnancy. In your case, experiencing bleeding on the 15th day after taking the I-Pill suggests that it has likely done its job.

I have an 11.28 cm cyst in my right ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery is it really safe or can it be treated with medicines instead

A large ovarian cyst like yours (11.28 cm) does increase the risk of complications like torsion or rupture, and surgery is often recommended for cysts of this size. Laparoscopic surgery, removing the cyst through small incisions, is generally considered safe and less invasive than an open procedure. While medication can sometimes shrink smaller cysts, it's less likely to be effective for very large ones.
