I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

View allI'm 68 weeks into a healthy pregnancy but have been dealing with slightly low blood pressure and morning sickness. Yesterday, my gynecologist prescribed me some medicine, and today I looked it up on Google. I read on Practo that this medicine is not recommended for pregnant women or those trying to get pregnant.

I'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally bit my nipple, and now my left breast is hurting and feels a bit injured. It's been five days, and I haven't taken any medicine yet. Should I be worried about this, or is it time to see a doctor? Would really appreciate some guidance!
Consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a breast specialist, as soon as possible, as a nipple bite can lead to infection, abscess, or even nipple necrosis; although it's been 5 days, seeking medical attention will help assess the injury and provide guidance on wound care, pain management, and preventing potential complications, such as mastitis or breast abscess.

I recently found out I have a right ovarian cyst measuring 95.5 cc with a peripherally situated solid component of about 12x6 mm in the adnexal area from my ultrasound. My CA-125 is 8.5, which is normal. My doctor initially suggested surgery but then prescribed me Derivery 10 mg daily for 3 months when I asked about medicine options. I'm 24 and not married should I be worried about the cyst or the treatment plan? Is medicine enough or should I consider surgery?
It's understandable to be concerned about your ovarian cyst, especially with the initial suggestion of surgery. While a normal CA-125 level and your age are positive factors, the size and solid component of the cyst warrant caution. Whether medicine or surgery is the best option depends on your individual circumstances and the potential for complications. It's crucial to have a thorough discussion with your doctor about the pros and cons of each approach.
