Impact on Pregnancy
- An 80mm fibroid can cause pain, bleeding, or interfere with fetal growth. It may also lead to discomfort due to its size.
Symptoms to Monitor
- Watch for abdominal pain, pressure, or increased menstrual flow. These symptoms can affect comfort and pregnancy progression.
Possible Complications
- Risks include preterm labor, placental issues, or fetal position problems. These require careful monitoring.
Monitoring and Diagnostic Tests
- Regular ultrasounds and prenatal check-ups are crucial to track fibroid size and ensure healthy pregnancy development.
Management and Treatment Options

I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?

Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.

I'm really worried and need some advice. On April 5th, my boyfriend fingered me, and I'm scared because I think he might have had precum on his fingers, which I've heard can lead to pregnancy. Thankfully, I got my regular period on April 10th, but I'm still anxious. Is there any chance I could still be pregnant even after getting my period that month?

I've been noticing a blue discharge on my underwear and I'm really not sure what's going on. This isn't the first time it's happened, but I haven't figured out what's causing it. I've tried using Candid ointment, but it hasn't made a difference. Can you help me understand what might be happening?

Blue vaginal discharge isn't typical and might indicate a reaction to products like dyed fabrics, infections, or rare conditions like chromhidrosis. Since Candid ointment hasnt helped, please consult a gynecologist for a thorough checkup and proper diagnosis. Avoid scented products or tight clothing in the meantime.
