I found out I have a 6cm fibroid near my left ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopy - can this type of surgery completely remove it or would I need a bigger abdominal operation? I'm worried about whether laparoscopy will be enough to take care of it or if the fibroid might need more invasive treatment

A 6cm fibroid near your left ovary warrants consideration for removal, and laparoscopy is a viable option. Laparoscopy allows for minimally invasive surgical removal of fibroids, particularly those up to 7-8cm, according to Ankuran IVF Clinic. Your doctor's recommendation is likely due to the fibroid's size, its location near the ovary, and potentially the presence of symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain.

I'm a female having issues with my sex life. I used to have a really healthy sexual relationship with my boyfriend, but for the past few months, I just haven't been feeling the urge to connect like before. It's been over six months now. I tried to get things going once, but ended up feeling pain which didn't happen earlier with the same partner. I'm kinda worried about what's going on with me and wondering what I can do to get things back to normal. Any ideas?

I'm 17 days post-ovulation and my beta hCG level is 1000. Could this mean I'm expecting twins or triplets, or is it more likely just a single pregnancy? I was treated with ovulation induction this cycle and my pregnancy test came back positive. Could you provide some insight into what to expect?
