I think I have an ovarian cyst rupturing and I’m in a lot of pain and feel dizzy. The pain started two days ago and keeps getting worse. It's located on my left side, in my back and front, around my ovary. The pain feels like a stabbing/squeezing pressure, and nothing is making it better. I'm also nauseous and lightheaded when I move. I'm 19 years old, on ibuprofen 600mg, an iron-fortified prenatal, and a blood pressure medication. I have endometriosis. What should I do?

I have a lump near my vagina that has been present for a couple of years. Recently, it has grown significantly and feels more swollen and stiff. The lump is not itchy or a different color than my skin, and it is located between my thigh and inner butt, near the opening of my vagina but not too close. What could this lump be, and how should I manage it?

I have persistent nausea during pregnancy and have been using a feeding tube for nutrition. I am concerned about the discomfort and frequency of replacing the tube, as well as the impact on my baby's development. What are the risks and options for managing my condition, including the possibility of using sedation for tube replacement and the potential for inducing labor early if necessary?

I am 27 years old with a 7-month-old baby. My last period was on the 6th of September, and I missed my next period in the first week of October. I took a home pregnancy test, which was positive. I then took Cytotec (4 tablets orally and 2 vaginal) and had spotting and bleeding for 5 days. Today, I had a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed an embryonic sac without a pulse, and I am now 6 weeks pregnant. How can I end this pregnancy, and if I decide to continue, will the Cytotec I took affect the baby? Is it teratogenic or can it cause birth defects?
