I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.

I have a dermoid cyst in my right ovary measuring 43x34x44 mm from an MRI in February and it might have grown since then. I feel swelling in my right thigh and abdomen. Several gynecologists recommended laparoscopy because they say it contains hair and teeth and could twist. I'm hesitant about surgery can homeopathy actually dissolve this kind of cyst? I'm single and a bit nervous about going under the knife.

Dermoid cysts with hair or teeth elements do not dissolve naturally.Laparoscopy is usually recommended to prevent complications like torsion.
