I have a 12cm fibroid that's covering my uterus and ovaries and I'm really worried about it what are my options besides surgery? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible but not sure what else might work for something this large

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm five months pregnant and I've been dealing with a urine infection. My doctor suggested taking Niftran and Cital syrup. I'm really concerned if it's safe. Will these medications affect my baby in any way?

I've been dealing with PCOD and haven't had my period for three months. Now I've got my period, but it's really heavy and I'm experiencing a lot of stomach pain. I'm stuck at home due to the lockdown and can't see a doctor for the next couple of days. Do you think this is normal, and is there anything I can do to manage the pain or bleeding until I can get to a doctor? I'm really worried.
