Question

I've been really concerned since my partner started taking cerazette for birth control. She's had this persistent lower abdomen pain that's off and on but it's definitely noticeable. It's been a month now, and not only is she experiencing a lot of pain, but also there's spotting and she hasn't gotten her regular period. Is this normal? The pain really seems like too much for her to go about her usual day. Can you advise on what might be happening or what we should do next?

Question

I found out I have a 6cm fibroid near my left ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopy - can this type of surgery completely remove it or would I need a bigger abdominal operation? I'm worried about whether laparoscopy will be enough to take care of it or if the fibroid might need more invasive treatment
