Hi Dr. Kumar. Thanks for following up with me. The cyst seems to be a bit smaller. How long should I continue home treatments before giving up and consulting a gynecologist? Also, if it resolves itself but then comes back, which I know cysts are known to do - should I home treat again or just go to the doctor?

My daughter is 10 weeks pregnant with her second baby. At 6 weeks, she developed a persistent temperature along with minor morning sickness. Despite taking Panadol and having a course of Keflex as a precaution, her temperature remains high. She was admitted to the hospital for two nights, where she underwent comprehensive scans and multiple blood tests, but no underlying cause for her fever was found. What could be causing her ongoing temperature, and is there any potential impact on the fetus?

I am worried that I have a yeast infection or BV. The symptoms are much stronger than usual, and I am experiencing a burning feeling since the start of my period. I am currently taking an antibiotic for acne and Focalin for ADHD. I am 22 years old and have an IUD that is set to expire soon. What should I do?

I am 8-9 days after conception and ovulation. I've been feeling sick to my stomach, very moody, and my cervix is very high and soft with some discharge, even though I'm not ovulating. I tested for pregnancy but it's negative. What could be causing these symptoms?
