View allI'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?
Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.

My wife is 25 weeks pregnant and has been suffering from painful external hemorrhoids for the past 6 days. The general surgeon prescribed anti-inflammatory cream, Ultracet tablets, anti-swelling meds, fiber-rich food, water, milk, and stool softeners, but she's still in a lot of discomfort. Is hemorrhoid surgery safe during pregnancy or are there other options we should consider? The pain isn't easing up and we're really worried about her condition.
Hemorrhoid surgery during pregnancy is generally discouraged due to potential risks and complications. While the general surgeon has prescribed conservative treatments, it's crucial to explore other options for pain relief and discomfort management during pregnancy
