I have an 8cm ovarian cyst and really want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can shrink or remove it? I'm worried about the size and hoping for non-surgical options.

While some ovarian cysts naturally resolve without treatment, an 8cm cyst might require medical intervention. There isn't a specific medication to shrink or remove an existing ovarian cyst. However, certain medications can help manage symptoms and potentially prevent new cysts from forming. If the cyst is causing pain, discomfort, or other issues, or if it's not a functional cyst, surgery (laparoscopy or open surgery) may be recommended

I have intramural fibroids measuring 7cm and 4.5cm and I'm trying to plan for pregnancy. How much does laparoscopic surgery usually cost and is there any chance these can be treated with medication instead of surgery

Large intramural fibroids may affect fertility; meds can help shrink them, but laparoscopic removal may offer better outcomes.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her C-section is scheduled for this week, but she suddenly caught a cold and cough because of the rainy season. Can you recommend a safe cough syrup for the last trimester that won't harm the baby? Also, if her cough doesn't clear up before the surgery, could it delay the delivery date?

For cold in 9-month pregnant woman, use syrup like Benadryl or Grilinctus BM after OB consult‚Äîmild cold won't usually delay C-section unless fever or breathing issues occur.
