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 a bit concerned because I've been noticing this yellow liquid discharge for about a month now. It varies between being thick and light, but there's no pain involved. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest what I should do?

Anxiety can indeed cause physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and palpitations. However, in most cases, anxiety-related heart symptoms are not a sign of underlying heart disease. Nevertheless, chronic anxiety can increase cardiovascular risk factors over time, such as high blood pressure and heart rate. But sudden cardiac arrest or heart attack due to anxiety alone is rare. To alleviate concerns, consider consulting a cardiologist and a mental health professional. They can help you manage anxiety and monitor cardiovascular health.
