I have a large 13 cm fibroid on the posterior wall of my uterus but my periods are normal should I consider surgery or try homeopathic medicine first? I'm worried about the size and not sure what the best option is

For a fibroid of that size (13 cm), surgical intervention is generally recommended. While homeopathic medicine might offer some relief, it's unlikely to shrink a fibroid of this size significantly, and it's essential to rule out other potential causes of your symptoms

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and just had a sonography that showed the cord around the baby's neck. What should I do? Can you give me some advice?

Hello, 25% of babies are born with the cord around their neck one or more times. Most people hear the cord was around the neck and freak out thinking their baby could strangle. The thing we forget is they don't actually breathe inside the womb. They get their oxygen through the cord. The only way it could cause a problem is if the umbilical cord became so compressed that it completely cut off the cord blood flow. Which usually happens when you get labour contractions,, at that time doctors will monitor heart rate of baby, if heart is is dropping during contractions or Baby not able to headdown our doctor will go for cesarean section, if nothing unusual vaginal delivery can be expected. Talk you your doctor.
