Yes, there are medications that can help manage fibroid symptoms and even shrink fibroids, without surgery. Some options include GnRH agonists (like Lupron), which can temporarily shrink fibroids and stop bleeding. Other medications, like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs, can help control heavy bleeding. Additionally, hormonal birth control or a progestin-releasing IUD can help regulate periods and reduce heavy bleeding

I'm 23 and I've taken the ipill three times this year. I'm worried about whether I should consult a doctor about it. Could there be severe side effects from using it so often? How often is it safe to use the ipill?

I-pills are emergency contraceptive pills and there is no problem in taking 3 pills in a year.

I'm in my second month of pregnancy, and yesterday I ate some papaya. My neighbors told me it could cause an abortion. I'm really worried about this. Is it true that eating papaya and pineapple can lead to a miscarriage?

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I've been taking supplements like iron, calcium, DHA, and Nutricel. I'm curious if lignocaine and lidocaine are the same thing. Also, is it safe to use lignocaine for a perineum massage at this stage of my pregnancy? I'm a bit worried about it.
