I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.

Found a cystic structure in my left adnexa and the report says it might be mild hydrosalpinx. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health

Yes, there are options to manage mild hydrosalpinx without surgery. Sclerotherapy, which uses an ultrasound-guided needle to drain fluid and inject a chemical to prevent refill, is a potential alternative.
