It's quite common for women around your age to have uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterus.

  1. Normalcy: Many women have fibroids without any symptoms, and they often don't cause serious problems.

  2. Potential Symptoms: Some fibroids can cause symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure.

  3. When to be Concerned: If you experience significant pain, heavy bleeding, or fertility issues, it's important to see a doctor.

  4. Management: Fibroids can often be managed with medication or, in some cases, minor procedures.

Overall, having fibroids is not inherently dangerous, but monitoring and medical advice are important to ensure they don't affect your health or quality of life.

I'm really worried because I used the mankind unwanted kit for abortion on the 26th of March and started bleeding the next day. It's been 9 days now, and I'm still experiencing a lot of bleeding and quite a bit of pain. The kit mentioned that bleeding could last anywhere from 9 to 16 days, so I'm uncertain if I should just wait it out or if I should consult a gynecologist right away. Is this normal, or should I be concerned and get it checked? What would be the best course of action here?

Visit Gynaecologist immediately that could be incomplete abortion where few products of conception might be there ,get yourself checked and treated
