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 noticing some unusual pimples or growths on my uterus that have been there for around 6 to 7 months now. I've had a couple of urine infections before, and now I'm just constantly feeling bloated and tired. Does this mean I might have cancer? What could this be? I'm really anxious about this.

I've just had an ultrasound, and it shows a dominant follicle measuring 18 mm in my right ovary. I'm really worried about whether this is something serious. Is there a risk I should be aware of? What steps can I take to manage or recover from this?
A dominant follicle measuring 18mm in your right ovary is a normal finding, especially if you're in your menstrual cycle's follicular phase . This typically occurs around day 7-10 of a 28-day cycle. The dominant follicle is the largest follicle that will release an egg during ovulation. Having a dominant follicle doesn't necessarily indicate a risk. However, it's essential to monitor its growth and development to ensure it ruptures and releases an egg. If the follicle doesn't rupture, it may lead to issues like ovulation disorders or cyst formation. To support follicular growth and ovulation: - *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. - *Follicular monitoring*: Schedule regular ultrasound scans to track the dominant follicle's growth and development. - *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your scan results and any concerns with your gynecologist or fertility specialist. They may recommend additional tests or treatments to support ovulation and fertility.
