I have a large 17 cm fibroid in the fundus area of my uterus, coming from the posterior myometrium. It's causing pain on the left side of my abdomen, but no lower abdominal pain. My USG shows my uterus is 9.4 cm. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help with this?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for a large fibroid like yours, though surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) is often considered the most effective long-term solution. If you're looking to avoid surgery, options include medications to manage symptoms or address the fibroid itself

I have a 3.5cm ovarian cyst in my left ovary can it go away on its own without surgery? What are some natural ways to shrink it or manage the symptoms?
Yes, a 3.5 cm ovarian cyst is usually functional and can often go away on its own, especially if you're premenopausal. To manage symptoms naturally, you can try applying warm compresses for pain relief, maintain a healthy diet, and consider regular exercise. However, regular follow-up with ultrasound is important to monitor its size and rule out complications.

I'm really worried about my wife. We had unprotected sex and she took an unwanted 72 pill within 24 hours. Since then, she's been dealing with some intense abdominal cramps and says she feels pain and inflammation in her vaginal area when she urinates. There's also a white fluid discharge. What's going on? Can you suggest any medications or what we should do next? Were really concerned here.
It sounds like your wife may be experiencing some side effects from taking the emergency contraceptive pill. The heavy abdominal cramps, pain and inflammation in the vaginal area, and the white fluid could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the pill. To help with the symptoms, she can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to alleviate the abdominal cramps and pain. Additionally, she can use a topical cream containing clotrimazole to help with the inflammation and any potential yeast infection that may be causing the white discharge. I recommend she consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist or worsen.
