I've been experiencing very painful menstrual cramps and my doctor recommended I try Meftal Spas tablets. They've been really helpful in relieving my pain for about 5 to 6 hours, and I've been taking them whenever the pain gets too intense. But now I'm noticing that my periods are getting delayed and the cramps seem to be even more painful. Could these things be side effects of the tablets?

Meftal Spas is a commonly used medication for menstrual pain, but frequent use can sometimes affect the regularity of your periods or increase pain in some cases. It's important to use it cautiously and consult your doctor if you notice changes in your cycle or increased discomfort, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.

I'm usually on a 30-day cycle and have PCOD. I've been going through fertility treatment and started taking Duphaston from the 16th day. My period was due on the 5th, and now it's the 12th, but I still haven't gotten it. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Should I stop taking Duphaston, or is there a chance I'll get my period while still on it?

Best would be to consult gynaecologist who is treating. Otherwise wait for one more week for periods then repeat pregnancy test with morning sample urine, if negative then stop Duphaston.

I've been told I need laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid cyst on my left ovary it's currently 3.2x3 cm. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year, and I'm unsure if I should get the surgery before getting pregnant. Is this cyst size big enough to require removal, or can I wait? What are the risks if I delay surgery?

You need to be cleared of dermoid cyst before planning for pregnancy, as it may pose some problem later. Laparoscopy is the best option. Via laparoscopy we can remove small as well as huge dermoid cyst also taking precautions against spillage of contents. Operative part headache, you can leave it to Gynaecologist. Just go ahead with the surgery and have a safe pregnancy ahead. Good luck
