View allMy mom has a 65 mm fibroid in her uterus and doesn't want surgery could this be dangerous? Are there other treatment options besides surgery? Really worried about her and would appreciate advice. Also, if surgery is the only option, can you suggest a good doctor?
A 65 mm fibroid can be considered large and may cause symptoms or complications, but it's not always necessary to have surgery. There are other treatment options like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) or medication to shrink fibroids. It's crucial to discuss all options with a gynecologist or interventional radiologist to determine the best course of action for your mom.

I've got a question about my PCOD situation. So, I went for a follicle study and on the 11th day, my right ovary size was 2719 and the endometrium thickness was 9. Then, ovulation happened on the 13th day but my endometrium thickness dropped to 5.3. My doctor mentioned that this is due to my PCOD and prescribed me an HCG 5000 injection twice along with some tablets and sachets. I'm just wondering, with my endometrium thickness being at 5.3, is there a chance I could conceive in this cycle? Any insights would be appreciated.
With the HCG injections and medications prescribed by your doctor, there is a possibility of conceiving in this cycle despite the endometrium thickness of 5.3mm. The medications and injections are aimed at supporting the ovulation and improving the chances of successful implantation. It is important to continue following your doctor's instructions and guidance for the best possible outcome.

I'm wondering if it's possible for rubbing the clitoris too much to lead to bumps on the clitoral hood. I've been noticing these tiny, pinhead-sized bumps for about a year now, and there are only two of them. I'm sexually active and first noticed them after some intense rubbing. Also, I really enjoy masturbating and can spend a long time doing it. Could the vigorous rubbing be causing these bumps, or should I be worried about something else?
It is important to practice moderation and gentleness during masturbation to avoid such issues. As for the bumps on your clitoral hood, they may be due to irritation or even a minor infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the bumps do not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
