This week we saw a wide variety of questions submitted to our community. Women asked about what can cause movement in their stomaches, pilonidal cysts, the effects of Postinor 2 and how to treat an enlarged uterus. Our moderators provided resources and answers to these health questions as well as many others. Do you have a health question you need an answer for? Post it to our community, and we promise to respond within 24 hours.

1. Why is there movement in my stomach if I am not pregnant?
