I have a 10.48.2 cm fibroid on the posterior wall of my uterus and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm 25, married, and planning for a baby this year. Will the surgery affect my chances of getting pregnant? Is there any way to treat this without surgery?

A fibroid of that size on the posterior uterine wall can affect pregnancy, depending on its location and symptoms. Surgery (myomectomy) can improve your chances of conceiving by removing the fibroid, but recovery time is needed before trying. Some smaller fibroids can be managed medically or with less invasive procedures, but at your size, surgery is often recommended. Discuss fertility-preserving options with your doctor before deciding.

I'm a bit worried because my boyfriend and I were having dry sex, and he ejaculated in his pants while he still had his underwear on. I noticed my shorts felt wet too, maybe from the semen. Should I be concerned about the chance of getting pregnant? And should I consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill? If I do, what might that do to my menstrual cycle or what side effects could it have?

if you are in 10th day to 20th day of your menstrual cycle , take ipill.

I've been experiencing some clear watery discharge recently, and I'm a bit concerned. I had sex about a week or two ago, and I'm wondering if this could be an early sign of pregnancy or just PMS symptoms. My period is supposed to start on April 8th. What do you think?

I have a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst and I've been taking Navelon for a month without breaks. Since I don't have any pain and weigh 46 kg, is there a chance the cyst will shrink enough to avoid surgery?

While taking Novelon continuously for a month may help with pain and slow the growth of a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst, it's unlikely to shrink it enough to avoid surgery, especially if the cyst is large and causing significant issues. Surgery is often recommended for cysts larger than 8 cm or if they cause pain or infertility problems
