I'm feeling a bit concerned. My friend recently hugged her partner, and their lower private parts accidentally touched. She had on underwear and track pants, and he was wearing underwear and shorts. Is there any chance she could get pregnant from that?

No, it's highly unlikely that your friend could get pregnant in this situation. For pregnancy to occur, sperm needs to enter the vagina, which wasn't the case here. It's important to stay informed about safe practices to prevent any worries.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have a 99 mm chocolate cyst do I really need surgery for it and if so is it safe for the baby

A 99mm (almost 4 inches) chocolate cyst during pregnancy, while large, doesn't automatically require surgery. Your doctor will assess the cyst's growth, your symptoms, and other factors to determine the best course of action. Generally, cysts larger than 4cm are often recommended for removal, but other factors like your symptoms and pregnancy stage play a role.
