I had a miscarriage in Feb 2010. The night before, I experienced severe calf pain that lasted about 5 minutes and then disappeared. Now, a fertility specialist has prescribed Loestrin to manage an ovarian cyst, but I'm concerned about the potential side effect of calf pain related to blood clots. Should I take Loestrin? Is there any way to know if the calf pain in Feb was a blood clot? If it was a blood clot, is a future pregnancy advisable?

I am six weeks pregnant. My doctor did a vaginal ultrasound and said there is no heartbeat, but is it too early to tell? I also feel flutters after I eat, like movement.

I am pretty sure I just had a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst rupture, but the pain is starting to cool down and I’m not having any signs of too much blood loss. I always get sent home to watch for the signs so do I even need to go? What can I do at home?

I am one year post hysterectomy, kept my ovaries, and think I could have a cyst or something going on with my right ovary. I am experiencing pain in my right side, lower abdomen, hip, and down my leg, some back pain, nausea, and the pain has slowly gotten worse over the last few hours. I had a pap test 6 months ago with no irregular results, and I have a history of cysts in my teens and early 20s, as well as microscopic colitis. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I have a yeast infection that returns every time I eat anything with sugar. I have tried over-the-counter medications, prescription pills, creams, home remedies, and strict diet modifications, but the infection keeps coming back. I am also lactose intolerant, which limits my use of yogurt for probiotics. What else should I try to prevent this yeast infection from recurring?

I was just diagnosed with HPV and am experiencing severe vaginal dryness and tearing, leading to bleeding when I wipe. My doctor prescribed Premarin vaginal cream, but I'm concerned about side effects. Additionally, I have other symptoms such as psoriasis, sensitive and swollen hands and feet, cold hands, hyperhidrosis, and a history of health issues including lyme disease, drop foot, mini strokes, renal failure, low-grade lupus diathesis, and immune allergic diathesis. Could these symptoms be related, and should I be concerned about Raynaud's disease?
