Periods have heavy flow volume and less flow volume days and may usually last for 4 to 6 days. It is hard to define normalcy of number of pads per day. On total, one to seven normal sized pads or tampons per period are normal.

I just read my ultrasound report and I'm a bit worried. It mentions something like "retained products of conception," and "small left ovarian simple cyst." Also, it talks about a "heterogenous endometrium" and some vascularity, but I'm not really sure what all this means. Could this be serious? There was also something about minimal fluid in the pelvis and no obvious wall thickening in the bladder. Should I be doing something about this or is it something that will resolve on its own?

The report indicates the presence of small retained products of conception (RPOC) in the uterus, which can be seen as endometrial contents with vascularity. This finding should be evaluated clinically to determine its significance. Additionally, a small simple cyst is present on the left ovary, but it appears to be benign with no concerning features like septations or solid components.

I've had protected sex with my partner and she got her period the next day, but it came 10 days earlier than usual. It's been about 30 hours now and she's not bleeding anymore. Is there a chance she could be pregnant? I'm a bit worried and just want to understand what's going on.

My TVS report says there's a heteroechoic lesion around 13-15 mm in the fundal region of the uterus, likely a fibroid. It also mentions an enlarged right ovary with a cyst, bulky cervix, and uterine fibroids. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

The best approach to treating fibroids and an ovarian cyst, especially when there's also a bulky cervix, depends on the severity of symptoms and the woman's reproductive goals. While some fibroids and cysts may be managed with medication, surgical intervention might be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic fibroids
