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.

I'm a 32-year-old woman with a 3-year-old kid and have been having heavy periods. My gynecologist recommended a pelvic scan, which showed an echogenic polyp measuring 22.7x16.7mm in the anterior endometrial cavity with no color flow. I had a laparoscopic surgery in 2016 and my pap smear was negative. Is this polyp something serious or can I leave it as it is? What should my next steps be?
You should go for HYSTEROSCOPIC removal of polyp and endometrial biopsy for further evaluation as it is showing endometrial hyperplasia You should do your beta HCG measurement also

is a hemoglobin level of 9.1 okay for fibroid surgery next week? what's the fastest way to increase hemoglobin levels before the procedure? OR my hemoglobin is 9.1 and i have fibroid surgery scheduled in a week is that level safe? how can i boost it quickly? OR will a hemoglobin of 9.1 cause issues for my upcoming fibroid surgery? need tips to raise it fast
A hemoglobin level of 9.1 might be too low for a planned fibroid surgery next week. It's generally considered safe to have a hemoglobin level of at least 10 g/dL before surgery to minimize complications related to blood loss, according to some medical sources. Raising hemoglobin levels quickly can be done by incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet, potentially taking iron supplements (with doctor's approval), and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and folate intake, according to some healthcare websites.
