I'm 33 and unmarried, recently diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst measuring 8.3 x 4.3 cm. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to treat it with medication instead. Is that possible? What options do I have? I'm worried about surgery and want to explore other treatments first.

excision of the cyst ,gynaec opinion is advised.

I'm kind of anxious about something and could really use some advice. So, I had protected sex using a condom just a couple of days before my period started on the 29th, and then I got my period on the 31st. Do you think there's any chance I could be pregnant? I'm also thinking about whether I should take an emergency contraceptive pill like an ipill, but I'm worried it might mess up my period. Is it a good idea to take it, or should I just not worry about this?

no need to take pill you done at safe Sex period

I'm 22 and haven't had sex in over a year, but I'm having issues with irregular periods. I saw a gynecologist who said I need a blood test and ultrasound to figure out what's going on. She mentioned it might be due to some fat above my uterus. I'm curious, can she find out if I'm a virgin from those tests?
