Reporting users sending DMs - turning off chat function

18 Upvotes

We will obviously block users who send you DMs, but it only affects their ability to interact with posts on r/ObGyn and they can still message users privately.

We suggest if you post on here then turn off your direct messages. This can be done by going to your profile, clicking on account settings and going down to Safety. You can then turn off chat permissions.

If you don't do this then you likely will get messages from other users. If so then report these users to Reddit and then block them. Reporting is cumulative and so even if nothing is done by Reddit that time, if enough reports come through those users can be completely blocked from Reddit. This would really help decrease the number of people that DM users after they post.

17 CM Ovarian Cyst

2 Upvotes

Hi! Guess who found out they have a 17cm ovarian cyst. Looks like it goes from my pelvic floor to under my ribs/diaphragm??

I had an MRI done on my spine about a month ago when they found it accidentally, and last week I had a pelvic MRI done to get a better look at it.

Has anyone ever experienced a cyst this size?
I’ve had issues for a little over a year now that all align with the cyst being the cause.
I’m happy I now have an answer to my issues but I’m unsure what comes next and I’m hoping to get some insight. Of course I’ve gone down a rabbit hole on Google and scared myself but I’m hoping for some personal experiences if possible.

Irregular Bleeding?

1 Upvotes

I (31F) have a singular, very large fibroid. It was 5inches at its largest. I had a fibroid embolization done in June 2024 but it failed and the fibroid didn’t shrink. I had another embolization done June 2025 and the fibroid shrunk this time - now it is about 3 inches.

I’ve always had bad cramps and relatively heavy periods, even before the fibroid.

Now though, my cycles are becoming shorter. Last month I got my period after about 21 days (got it on August 14). I continued lightly spotting and mild cramps about 7 days later which is abnormal for me. Period usually lasts 5 days for me.

Now, I started bleeding again this morning without warning. I usually get cramps beforehand, but didn’t this time. It’s been about 12 days since the end of my last period.

I have an appointment with OBGYN tomorrow, but I already had my fibroid checked via ultrasound and MRI two months ago because I’ve been having a sensation that I need to pee a lot lately. Feels like pressure on my bladder. They said the fibroid looked fine.

Last pap was about three months ago.

Looking for others experiences. I’m not sure what this could be at all so I don’t know how to advocate for myself. So stressed out.

Obgyn recommendation needed urgent

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We’re expecting (likely via IVF) and looking for recommendations for a good OBGYN or maternal-fetal medicine specialist in/near Johns Creek, Alpharetta, or Cumming (moved to Atlanta,GA couple months back).Ideally someone experienced with high-risk pregnancies (advanced maternal age, IVF history, possible multiples, etc.) who delivers at a hospital with strong NICU/perinatal support.
Also interested in practices that offer good postpartum care. Any experiences with wait times, doctor availability, bedside manner, or how they handle high-risk cases would be super helpful!
Bonus: Any thoughts on travel time for frequent prenatal visits? We live in the Johns Creek area and want to minimize stress, especially later in pregnancy. Thanks so much — really appreciate any suggestions!

Montgomery gland brown drainage

2 Upvotes

I’m almost 38 weeks pregnant and every day I check to see if I have colostrum coming in, which I do now. I also have some clear/white/yellow coming from the Montgomery glands. Today I noticed one spot on right breast had a Montgomery gland that when i squeezed, it produced a couple drops of dark brown fluid. I’m curious if it’s just trauma to it or something I should be concerned about

Hi! I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, but I was wondering if anyone with an OB/GYN background could give me some insight.
I get recurring right-sided pelvic pain around ovulation. During ovulation, I also sometimes get pain when having a bowel movement and pain when urinating. These symptoms don’t happen outside of ovulation.
I also get painful periods. They aren’t unbearable every single cycle, but sometimes the pain is bad enough that sitting still is difficult and I feel weak and need to put my head down.
My periods are regular and come every month.
I’ve previously had imaging where my ovaries were described as bulky/enlarged, so I’m wondering whether that could be related to PCOS or something else.
I know Reddit obviously can’t diagnose me 😂 — I’m mainly wondering whether this pattern sounds like something I should actually ask my GP/gynaecologist about, or whether it can happen with normal ovulation.
Thanks!

Travel to Bahamas

Hi, my cousin is 5 weeks pregnant and planning to make a trip to the Bahamas. They can’t cancel the tickets so I was wondering if the risks are low since Bahamas does have Zika and dengue prevalence. Would it be ok for them to travel?
