is that a scar on your tummy if so hnnnng *gets so hard she passes out*

sorry to inform you that it is unfortunately just a weird trick of the light and not a super rad scar

[meteortrails]

will say, weird that everyone thinks Tim would have an actual splenectomy scar?? like if we’re thinking traditional surgery scars in western medicine, he’s almost definitely got a laparotomy scar. Tim’s bleeding out on the table, there’s no way they had time to do scans to identify which organs got damaged or make any sort of accurate external assessment; that kind of situation, you’re just gonna cut the whole abdomen open bc how else are you even gonna know what needs to be fixed/removed?? so Tim probably has a semi-neat little line down his belly once he’s all healed up, which coincidentally is a vague enough surgery scar that he can tell All Sorts of lies about it, which I think he would do purely for the fun of it.

the worst thing about love is… | jason todd (chapter 1)

you’re just trying to get through your surgical residency, but this masked vigilante keeps showing up half-dead on your fire escape and reminding you of your dead best friend. oh well, at least he's cute.

tw: stitches, mentions of blood and injuries, swearing, completely ooc Jason but he’s like my own lil character now and I’m protective, very inaccurate medical terminology and procedure lol

only jerks steal other people's writing (just don't repost, mate)

There’s a dead man on your fire escape.

Well. He’s not actually dead, but his pulse is weak when you drag him into your living room, out of the relentless Gotham rain. Pulling your hand away from under his mask, you crouch down, peeling off the worn leather jacket around his shoulders and unbuckling his pauldrons. You feel around his back, brows furrowed. You can’t feel anything through the padding in his rain soaked shirt.

Hands wandering down to where his front is flat on the floor, you press down on his side, eyes widening when your fingers come back slick with blood. You go into autopilot, flipping him onto his back and yanking up his compression shirt. You might’ve gasped at the knife wound if you weren’t working on instinct. It’s bad. 

Shoving away the doubt clawing at the base of your skull, you steady your trembling hands. You’ve been trained for this. 

Don’t feel, just do.

The cut is long and serrated, and deep as all hell. It slices through the middle of a jagged, Y-shaped scar that chains over his shoulders like a noose. Jesus. 

It’s like he was stabbed and then dragged across the floor, cutting diagonally across his torso. How is he even still alive? Your hands move faster than you can think, completing an internal checklist as you go.

Breathing? Fast and shallow through his modulator, no obstructions. Bleeding? Applied tourniquet to epigastric region - transfusion isn’t even an option… Your brain works overtime, sifting through diagnostics lectures - penetrating abdominal trauma, debrided of devitalised tissue, no visible debris… You trace the edges of the wound looking for inflammation or fluid buildup; signs of peritonitis, but the weapon seems to have missed any internal organs. Lucky. Even luckier that he landed on a surgical resident’s fire escape.

Reaching over to the lamp by your couch, you shift it so that it shines directly over his abdomen. A last check of his wound confirms that there are no external indications that you should conduct a laparotomy. You just have to sew him up and hope to god the knife didn’t puncture anything internal.

You keep a hand planted firmly over his tourniquet, applying constant pressure, reaching for your backpack. Dragging it over, you use your teeth to open your suture kit and your free hand to sterilise his cut with Betadine and alcohol, wiping gentle circles outward from the wound. You dip your needle like Achilles in the Styx, hand and all, into the sterilising liquid, tugging a glove on with your teeth. 

You grip the needle driver in your dominant hand, pickups clutched in the other and take a steadying breath. There’s a stillness to the room, quiet save for your heartbeat pounding in your ears. The wound is large - high tension - so… mattress sutures… horizontal so the tension is spread over the edge of the wound. 

You take your first bite, adrenaline driving your needle into a clean stitch. You reverse it, passing through his cut again, before tying it off with the practised motions of a thousand surgical knots tied on yarn and thread and fraying jeans. You settle back on your knees after the first suture, readying yourself for the stitching to come, and start the next one.

~

Hours later, you haul him onto your couch, sitting him up on the arm rest to take pressure off of his dressed stitches. Frowning deeply at how uncomfortable he looks - even unconscious, you tuck a throw pillow under his scuffed metal mask. 

Leaning close to check his breathing, you hear crackling slow and deep through the helmet’s voice modulator. Bone-deep relief floods your system, a little sigh leaving your mouth involuntarily. Sitting heavily against your coffee table, you press the heels of your hands into your weary eyes. 

He’s stable. For now at least. 

Head bumping against the edge of your couch, you breathe in deeply, fighting the anxiety twisting in your ribcage. The couch smells like rubbing alcohol, stinging your nose so badly your eyes water. It’s followed by something familiar - underneath the heady scent of petrol and metal - like… if you mixed Gotham up into a single smell; rain and smoke and wet pavement. He… he smells like-

“Jay!” 

The faulty fluorescent lights - courtesy of your parent's small family diner - seem to flicker in tandem with your strident yell.

Your best friend looks up at you through a mop of dark hair, collarbones poking out of his thin t-shirt, second-hand leather jacket chucked haphazardly on the other side of the booth. He’s stolen your copy of Jane Eyre, flattened with one hand next to a plate of old fries you’d scrounged for him.

You tug your book from his grasp, tucking your pen into the pocket on your apron. He looks up at you with a mouth full of fries, infuriating confusion written across his face.

“What? You promised I could read it.” You sigh in exasperation.

“When I’m finished! And-” A dramatic gasp rips from your mouth when you examine the book. “Are these- grease stains?” You take the book in both hands, swatting Jason with it.

“What so it’s okay to hit me with a book but not get grease- fuck, jesus, okay, okay!” You raise the book over your shoulder with both hands.

“Do you yield?” His mock-angry expression almost makes you laugh, a hand held up near his face to shield from your attack. There’s a soft twist to his frown, like he’s trying to stop his mouth from pulling into a grin. He raises his hands in surrender, and you relax your hold on the book.

Rookie mistake.

Jason darts forward, faster than you can blink, grasping your waist with both hands and dragging you towards him. He yanks the book from your hands and lets you go, grinning childishly at you with the book in his hands. The cat with the canary.

You throw your hands up in exasperation before planting them on your hips like a disappointed mother. The admonishment on the tip of your tongue turns into a weary sigh when you hear your parents calling for you from the diner kitchen. “Fine. But you actually have to try to not spoil it this time.”

Jason crosses his fingers over his chest, “Scout’s honour, birdie.” 

You try not to flush at the nickname, just like you do every time he says it. Still, you fold like a stack of cards.

(He spoils it the next day.)

~

When you wake two hours later for rounds (at the ass-crack of dawn), he’s already gone. You pad quietly around your kitchen making coffee from day-old grounds, cautious not to disturb the sanctity of the early morning (or the ghost of his presence).

The only evidence of him is alight in the dim light that spills over your kitchen counter and into your living room - the deep indents in your couch and the bloodstains on your carpet… The rain on your wood floors, from the fire escape window you’re sure you didn’t leave open.

hi, hello, uhh this is the first fic I've ever posted so bear with me. if anyone actually sees this, i do apologise for the inaccuracies and lengthy prose. also, this will be a series so stick around if you like slow updates, slowburn and second chances. thanks for reading my rambles.

Without additional research, just me thinking about my body and stuff- Hmmm! I don't know how if I would welcome or deny getting my last ovary removed. I would be more upset if the surgery required another laparotomy cut. A double scar on my scar? No thanks.

I would prefer to keep my ovary but delete my uterus. Less chance of cancer right?

In the pamphlets the surgeon gave to me it said if I had both ovaries removed I could face a shorter lifespan and go thru menupause immediately. Sounds like a pain! Although- I suspect they are hormonal therapies and stuff

[foxymoxynoona]

Omg. You had a surgery? Please be rested and take care of yourself. What surgery did you have btw? Is it too painful now?

Fun fact: this surgery for this type of rare tumor I guess has never been done before and my surgeon joked he's going to name it after me 😂😁 I'll put more info below the cut for those who don't want medical stuff on their TL.

I had a VERY large tumor in my small intestines --now confirmed to be totally benign, but no one understands how it got that big or why because it just doesn't happen. My surgeon couldn't believe I hadn't already had an emergency blockage, it was so big. It's also been taking all my blood and nutrients for a while, so my nutrition is, as they put it, "shitty." Mainly I just was aware I've had really really bad anemia for the past few years, and I was hospitalized in May with a hemoglobin of 5 (which you basically die under, that's so critically low.) They weren't sure what would be necessary to remove the tumor, so I had an open exploratory laparotomy where they basically just go in and figure it out, but we had expected I would need a whipple procedure which is a VERY risky precedure where they remove a bunch of your digestive organs and re-route what's left. (I can explain more why if anyone is curious, I learned a lot about it haha.) FORTUNATELY once they got in there, I didn't need the whipple! They were able to remove the tumor and only my gallbladder and a couple bile ducts along the way.

Even this was still a major surgery though with lots of risks and I've had a few complications that wound up lengthening my hospital stay. 2 days after surgery, I developed a leak which can be a fatal complication or need an emergency surgery to fix, so that was scary, but my body managed to maintain and fix it all on its own after some scary days and only minor assistive procedures! I kept having random white blood cell increases they feared were infections but then I'd fight them off. They also put me on IV nutrition through a PICC line to try and repair my malnourishment as best they could, but also because I can't eat a normal amount of calories yet, so my blood and nutrition levels are still not back to normal ranges but improving!

I finally got to come home after 13 days. It's still early recovery days and I'm still on soft food diet and strict rest and have follow up appointments and all that, but I'm doing a little better each day! It's been a really scary journey getting here, but hopefully things can continue to improve from here. The pain is pretty bad and I have a gnarly midline scar now but I'm coping and it's getting better and and someday soon I may feel better than I've felt in years so that would be really great! And hopefully no more scary life-threatening hospital stays or anemia!

[fuzzy-honeybee]

It’s honestly so bizarre that my laparotomy scar is still completely numb lol

I think it’s been about 4 months since they cut those cysts out WHEN IS THE FEELING SUPPOSED TO COME BACK??? I can’t stop touching it

Endometriosis: Understanding the Condition, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Introduction

Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus, known as the endometrium, starts growing outside the uterus. This abnormal tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the outer surface of the uterus, and other organs within the pelvis. Endometriosis can cause significant pain, fertility issues, and a range of other symptoms that can severely impact a person's quality of life. This article provides an overview of endometriosis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

What is Endometriosis?

In endometriosis, endometrial-like tissue grows in areas where it does not belong. During the menstrual cycle, this tissue responds to hormonal changes by thickening, breaking down, and bleeding. However, unlike the tissue in the uterus, which leaves the body during menstruation, this displaced tissue has no way to exit. The trapped blood and tissue can lead to inflammation, scar tissue formation, and adhesions, which can cause organs in the pelvic region to stick together.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of endometriosis is not well understood, but several theories exist:

Retrograde Menstruation: Menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity instead of leaving the body, allowing endometrial cells to implant and grow outside the uterus.

Embryonic Cell Transformation: Hormones such as estrogen may transform embryonic cells into endometrial-like cell implants during puberty.

Surgical Scars: After surgeries like a hysterectomy or C-section, endometrial cells may attach to the surgical incision.

Immune System Disorders: Problems with the immune system may make the body unable to recognize and destroy endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus.

Genetics: There is a higher likelihood of developing endometriosis if close relatives also have the condition.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

The severity of symptoms can vary widely among individuals and does not always correlate with the extent of the disease. Common symptoms include:

Pelvic Pain: Often associated with menstrual periods, pain can occur before and during menstruation, and can be severe. It may also be chronic (lasting six months or more).

Menstrual Irregularities: Heavy periods (menorrhagia), bleeding between periods, or periods that last longer than normal.

Pain During Intercourse: Pain during or after sex is common with endometriosis.

Pain with Bowel Movements or Urination: These symptoms are most likely during menstrual periods.

Infertility: Endometriosis is sometimes first diagnosed in those seeking treatment for infertility.

Other Symptoms: Fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and nausea, especially during menstrual periods.

Diagnosis

Diagnosing endometriosis can be challenging, as symptoms often overlap with other conditions. A combination of the following methods is typically used:

Medical History and Physical Examination: A thorough medical history and pelvic examination.

Imaging Tests: Ultrasound or MRI may be used to identify large endometrial cysts or to evaluate the pelvis.

Laparoscopy: The gold standard for diagnosis, this minimally invasive surgical procedure allows direct visualization and biopsy of endometrial tissue.

Treatment Options

Treatment for endometriosis depends on the severity of symptoms, the extent of the disease, and whether the person wishes to become pregnant. Options include:

Medications:

Pain Relief: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can help relieve pain.

Hormonal Therapies: Birth control pills, hormonal IUDs, GnRH agonists, and other hormone-based treatments can reduce or eliminate menstruation and relieve pain.

Surgical Treatments:

Laparoscopy: Used both for diagnosis and treatment, it involves the removal or destruction of endometrial growths.

Laparotomy: A more invasive surgery for severe cases, involving a larger incision in the abdomen.

Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, and sometimes the ovaries, may be considered in severe cases when other treatments have failed.

Fertility Treatment:

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Options like in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be recommended for those with endometriosis-related infertility.

Endometriosis is a complex condition that can significantly impact a person's physical and emotional well-being. Early diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan are crucial in managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Individuals experiencing symptoms of endometriosis, consult with the most experienced gynaecologist Dr.Sukriti Sharma in Jalandhar.

Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure where small incisions are made, and a laparoscope (a small camera) is used to guide the surgeon in removing endometriosis lesions.

Laparotomy: In more severe cases, a larger incision may be necessary to remove extensive endometriosis tissue.

Hysterectomy: This is considered a last resort, where the uterus is removed, and sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, to alleviate symptoms.

Understanding Endometriosis: Symptoms, Treatments

Endometriosis is a common yet often misunderstood gynaecological condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It occurs when the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus, known as the endometrium, grows outside of the uterus. This can lead to a variety of symptoms and can greatly impact a woman's quality of life. In this blog post, we will discuss the symptoms, treatments, and coping strategies for endometriosis, and why it is important to consult a gynaecologist in Indore for proper diagnosis and management.

Symptoms of Endometriosis:

The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, which can range from mild to severe. This pain may occur before or during menstruation, during intercourse, or during bowel movements or urination. Other symptoms may include heavy or irregular periods, fatigue, bloating, and infertility. However, it is important to note that some women may not experience any symptoms at all, making endometriosis difficult to diagnose.

Treatments for Endometriosis:

There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are various treatment options available to help manage the symptoms. The first step is to consult a gynaecologist in Indore for a proper diagnosis. They may perform a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or laparoscopy to confirm the presence of endometriosis. Once diagnosed, the following treatments may be recommended:

1) Pain medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help alleviate pelvic pain and cramping.

2) Hormone therapy: This involves using birth control pills, progestin-only pills, or other hormonal treatments to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce pain.

3) Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be recommended to remove the endometrial tissue and scar tissue. This can be done through laparoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, or laparotomy, a more invasive surgery.

Massage for Endometriosis: Easing Pain and Promoting Relaxation

Introduction:

Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often leading to pelvic pain, infertility, and menstrual irregularities. While endometriosis can significantly impact a person's quality of life, there are various treatment approaches aimed at managing symptoms and improving well-being. Massage therapy has emerged as a promising complementary treatment for individuals with endometriosis, offering relief from pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. In this article, we will explore the potential benefits of massage for endometriosis patients, discuss the underlying mechanisms, and provide practical insights for incorporating massage into a comprehensive treatment plan.울산출장안마

Understanding Endometriosis:

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic peritoneum. This abnormal tissue growth can lead to the formation of lesions, adhesions, and cysts, causing chronic pelvic pain, painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), painful intercourse (dyspareunia), and fertility problems. The exact cause of endometriosis remains unclear, but factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, and immune dysfunction may contribute to its development.울산출장마사지

Current Treatment Approaches:

The management of endometriosis typically involves a combination of medication, surgery, hormonal therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and hormonal contraceptives are commonly prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation associated with endometriosis. In cases of severe symptoms or fertility issues, surgical interventions such as laparoscopy or laparotomy may be performed to remove endometriotic lesions and adhesions. Hormonal therapies, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists and progestins, aim to suppress ovarian function and reduce estrogen levels, thereby slowing the growth of endometriotic tissue.

The Role of Massage in Endometriosis Management:

Massage therapy offers a gentle and non-invasive approach to managing endometriosis symptoms and promoting overall well-being. By addressing muscular tension, improving circulation, and reducing stress, massage therapy can complement conventional treatments and provide relief from the physical and emotional challenges associated with endometriosis. The potential benefits of massage for endometriosis patients include:

Pain Relief: Massage therapy can help alleviate pelvic pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis by reducing muscle tension, releasing trigger points, and promoting the release of endorphins—the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. Targeted massage techniques, such as myofascial release or trigger point therapy, can address specific areas of pain and tension in the pelvic region, providing temporary relief from symptoms.

Reduction of Inflammation: Endometriosis is characterized by chronic inflammation within the pelvic cavity, leading to tissue damage and scarring. Massage therapy techniques, such as effleurage and lymphatic drainage, can help stimulate the lymphatic system, improve circulation, and promote the removal of inflammatory waste products from the body. By reducing inflammation, massage therapy may help alleviate symptoms and prevent disease progression in individuals with endometriosis.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Living with endometriosis can be physically and emotionally taxing, leading to stress, anxiety, and depression. Massage therapy induces relaxation, reduces sympathetic nervous system activity, and promotes a sense of calm and well-being. Techniques such as Swedish massage, gentle stretching, and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall psychological well-being in endometriosis patients.

Improvement of Pelvic Mobility: Endometriosis can lead to pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic adhesions, and restrictions in pelvic mobility. Massage therapy techniques, such as myofascial release and visceral manipulation, can help release adhesions, improve tissue mobility, and restore normal pelvic function. By addressing muscular imbalances and restrictions, massage therapy may help improve pelvic mobility and reduce pelvic pain in individuals with endometriosis.

Hormonal Regulation: Some studies suggest that massage therapy may have modulatory effects on hormone levels and menstrual cycle regulation, potentially influencing the hormonal imbalance associated with endometriosis. While further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these effects, massage therapy may offer a holistic approach to hormonal management in individuals with endometriosis.

Mechanisms Underlying the Effects of Massage on Endometriosis:

Pain Modulation: Massage therapy stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, which act as natural pain relievers and mood enhancers. By modulating pain perception, massage therapy can help individuals with endometriosis cope with chronic pain and discomfort.

Muscle Relaxation: Massage therapy techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, and gentle stretching help relax tight muscles, reduce muscle spasm, and improve flexibility. By promoting muscular relaxation, massage therapy can alleviate pelvic pain and tension associated with endometriosis.

Stress Reduction: Massage therapy induces relaxation and reduces stress levels by triggering the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. By promoting a state of relaxation, massage therapy can alleviate stress-related muscle tension and improve overall well-being in individuals with endometriosis.

Practical Tips for Incorporating Massage into Endometriosis Management:

Consult with Healthcare Providers: Before starting massage therapy, individuals with endometriosis should consult with their gynecologist or healthcare provider to ensure that massage is safe and appropriate for their condition. Healthcare providers can provide guidance on the frequency, duration, and intensity of massage therapy sessions based on individual needs and preferences.

i kinda wanna give pat a tattoo on her stomach to hide her laparotomy scar. 'cause not only pat's neurotic about any noticeable "flaws" to her appearance, but the scar is also a reminder to the attack she suffered, an extremely traumatic experience, and i don't think she'll appreciate looking down at her stomach and thinking about it all the time.

i'm thinking it might look kinda like this. i'm not sure if i wanna commit yet because i always change my mind about tattoos, but it just looks so fierce. and sexy 😩

Could A Cyst Stop Me from Having a Baby?

Approximately 7% of women encounter ovarian cysts at some stage, making questions about their connection to infertility a common concern. Certain ovarian cysts may impact fertility due to their influence on hormonal balance and the ovulation cycle. The impact of a cyst on fertility depends on various factors, such as the type of cyst, its size, location, and whether it causes any complications. Not all cysts will necessarily affect fertility, but some can potentially have an impact. It’s essential to consult with a top gynecologist or reproductive endocrinologist, Dr.Niveditha Kamaraj and Dr. Jeyarani Kamaraj at Aakash IVF hospital, Chennai, for personalized advice based on your specific situation.

What are Ovarian Cyst?

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form within the ovaries and can range in size from as small as a pea to as large as a cantaloupe. These cysts may develop individually or in groups. While the majority of ovarian cysts are noncancerous (benign), there is a possibility of some being malignant (cancerous) ovarian cysts.

What are the types of ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cysts come in various types, with some being more prevalent than others. Let’s explore the different varieties and the causes behind ovarian cyst formation.

Functional Cysts:

Functional ovarian cysts, forming monthly as part of the follicle growth process, are a regular aspect of the menstrual cycle. Typically harmless, they do not generally impact fertility. There are two subtypes:

Follicular Cysts: The most common type, arising when the ovarian follicle fails to release its egg, leading to the development of a larger follicular cyst. Most resolve on their own, but in rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Corpus Luteum Cysts: Formed after ovulation, these cysts result from the persistence of the empty sac (corpus luteum). While they usually disappear within a few months, they can grow larger, causing pelvic pain and bleeding.

Non-functional Cysts:

Cysts falling outside the functional category are considered abnormal and may have implications for fertility.

Hemorrhagic Cysts: Develop during ovulation when an ovarian follicle releases an egg, filling with blood and forming a cyst. Often asymptomatic, these cysts usually resolve on their own.

Endometriomas: Associated with endometriosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus. These cysts, linked to low progesterone levels, may be associated with fertility issues.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):

PCOS is a medical condition characterized by the development of small cysts on the ovaries, leading to irregular periods. It can hinder pregnancy by affecting the release of eggs. PCOS is associated with elevated levels of male hormones (androgens), such as testosterone.

Can the presence of ovarian cysts affect pregnancy?

Certain ovarian cysts are linked to hormonal imbalances that can impact fertility. For example, endometriomas and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can hinder pregnancy. Additionally, the size, number, and location of cysts may lead to complications, including rupture, which can cause internal bleeding, scarring, and damage to the ovaries, potentially disrupting ovulation and implantation. Ovarian cysts may also block fallopian tubes, impeding the journey of sperm to the egg. In some instances, cysts produce hormones that interfere with the ovulation process.

What are the treatment options for Ovarian cysts?

Upon discovering an ovarian cyst, the initial approach involves routine monitoring to assess its natural disintegration or growth. In some cases, doctors may prescribe birth control pills to prevent further cyst formation, although they cannot shrink existing cysts. If a cyst becomes too large, causing pain or posing a risk of rupture, surgical removal may be necessary. The surgery can be laparoscopic for smaller cysts or involve a larger abdominal incision (laparotomy) for larger or potentially cancerous cysts. In rare instances, removal of the affected ovary may be required. While it’s not possible to prevent ovarian cysts, regular pelvic exams aid in early detection. Any changes in menstrual cycles or persistent unusual symptoms should be promptly reported to a qualified healthcare professional. Seek checkups and testing from top doctors in Chennai Dr. Niveditha Kamaraj and Dr. Jeyarani Kamaraj at Aakash IVF hospital, who are highly knowledgeable about ovarian cysts and dedicated to assisting you in overcoming any obstacles for a healthy pregnancy.

SO TUMBLR HAS CHARACTER LIMIT??? so here is the small fic I wrote with Sechenov and Stockhausen, but it will have unintentional parts, splitting in places where I didn't want to. Please read this as a whole. So here is the thing, pt. 1: There has been an incident. A simple one. You would expect a scientist to end up in some explosion, a work accident, getting eaten alive by a plant, a mad cow, a smelly goo they called polymer, anything of the sort. But Dmitry Sergeevich was simply hit by a car. It happened late at night when they all called the day quits. Dmitry, Larisa and Michael exited the building. They were all tired, but Sechenov kept his posture and headed to the car, while Stockhausen just lit a cigarette, chatting with Larisa by the exit. His curls were messy, and he did not even react when the car was incomming, from behind the building where Sechenov was taking the cross, it was Larisa that yelped, but it was too late. The  UAZ minibus hit him full force front, sending Sechenov flying and rolling down the concrete. The driver drove off, a simple hit and run. The two ran to the uncoscious man, who landed face first in a flower bed. They could see already his shoulder was dislocated, but his head was bleeding from the impact, and once Larisa unbuttoned his vest and shirt, the bruising was pretty massive especially on the stomach. She could tell there was a broken rib too. There was no one in their close vicinity, so Michael just took Sechenov on his back and they rushed him back in the labs, they had all that was needed. The xrays showed no fracture on the skull, but they had to put back his shoulder joint while he was still uncoscious, sewing the wound on his head. It was the stomach that became hard, a sign of internal bleeding. In the end they decided for exploratory laparotomy which, although leaving a massive scar down the middle of the man’s stomach, showed to be the most usefull because there was multiple injuries, the worst turned out to be unstable spleen, torn oesophagus and torn liver, which all turned into the main source of the bleeding, and possible cause for blood poissoning unless they would get it in controll. It was 3 am when they finished. Larisa felt like she could just fall asleep on the spot. “I will take care of him, you go home. I will manage. If anything, I will call you” Stockhausen said. Although he was not Larisa’s favourite, she thanked him from the heart and called him a savior and sweetheart. Stockhausen was still in the surgical gown, exhausted, now in the room with Dmitry fresh out of the surgery, who was still asleep. He watched him, and the tiredness and hunger got the worst of him. He realised how much he has done, and never got even a simple thank, how much Sechenov just expected him to do what he wanted without a sign of gratitude. His pulse quickened, when Dmitry twitched softly, a sign of the sedatives wearing off. Michael quickly left the room. Dmitry sergeevich woke up with his stomach burning from the incision, everything was still so fresh, he was having a massive headache. The monitor showed quickened heartbeat, he stared at the bloodbag above his head, realising this was not good at all. Then Stockhausen entered the room again. The light was dim, only illuminated by the machines and light of the moon that was bright that night.  pt.2: https://www.tumblr.com/clamshell-writes/722766857560522752/michael-sechenov-whispered-weakened?source=share
