I have a 5.5cm intramural fundal fibroid and my doctor recommended open surgery instead of laparoscopic. I'm planning for pregnancy soon should I go ahead with the surgery? What are the possible complications? Would abdominal open surgery be better than laparoscopic in my case?

It's generally recommended to address large fibroids, like yours, before attempting pregnancy, as they can interfere with implantation, growth, and delivery. Open surgery might be considered over laparoscopic for very large or multiple fibroids. Open surgery also carries a higher risk of complications like scarring, blood loss, and adhesions. Ultimately, the decision of whether to proceed with surgery depends on your individual circumstances, including the fibroid's size, location, your overall health, and your fertility goals

I've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?
- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.
