Intramural fibroids that indent the endometrial cavity (inside of the uterus) significantly decrease the chances of conception, and increase the miscarriage rate.

My wife's been having some back pain and issues with her uterus for about a year now, she's 40. A few gynaecologists suggested we need to go for a surgery to remove the uterus. I'm just trying to understand, how much does this operation usually cost, and are there any side effects we should be aware of after the surgery? Could you give me some advice on this?

Dear Kumar, removing the uterus (hysterectomy) is a common and generally safe procedure when necessary. The cost can vary based on the hospital and type of surgery but is typically between 50,000-1,50,000. Side effects may include temporary pain, hormonal changes if ovaries are removed, and recovery time of about 4-6 weeks. Please consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation and options.

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I've been dealing with a cough and a bodyache. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Montair LC and Dolo 650. Could you advise me on that?

At 14 weeks of pregnancy, its important to be cautious with medications. Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) and Dolo650 (paracetamol) are generally considered safe in pregnancy, but it's always best to consult your doctor before taking them. They can recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific condition.
