Question 1

I have a 65mm complex cyst in my right adnexa that seems to be ovarian in origin. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. Are there any risks if I go ahead with the procedure? What could happen if I don't get it removed?

Accepted Answer

excision of the cyst is advised.

Question 2

I just found out I'm pregnant because the test showed a dark line. But when I took another one a week later, the line wasn't as dark. What could that mean? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Burning Sensation in Breast, Back, and Leg

_Possible Causes_

1. _Hormonal fluctuations_: Hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can cause breast tenderness and burning sensations.
2. _Costochondritis_: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone can cause burning sensations in the breast and back.
3. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Poor posture, muscle strain, or injury can cause referred pain in the breast, back, and leg.
4. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gallbladder problems can cause burning sensations in the chest and back.
5. _Nerve compression or damage_: Compression or damage to the nerves in the neck, back, or leg can cause burning sensations.

_Recommendations_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., gynecologist, orthopedist) to determine the underlying cause.
2. _Get a thorough examination_: Your doctor will perform a physical examination, take a medical history, and may order diagnostic tests (e.g., mammogram, ultrasound, MRI) to rule out underlying conditions.
3. _Manage symptoms_: In the meantime, try to manage your symptoms by:
    - Applying heat or cold packs to the affected area
    - Practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation)
    - Maintaining good posture and engaging in regular exercise

Question 3

I'm wondering about the safety of using an expired lubricating gel like Lubic Jelly with my wife. It expired back in December 2018, and we don't have sex very often. Is it still okay to use it, or should we be concerned about any potential risks?

Accepted Answer

Using expired lubricating gel is not recommended, as it may lose its effectiveness and could potentially cause irritation or infections. For both your safety, it's best to discard the expired product and replace it with a new one.

I've been taking Endosis tablets for the past three months, but I recently stopped. Now I'm experiencing pelvic and back pain. Could this be related to stopping the medication, and what should I do about this discomfort?
