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'm in my ninth month of pregnancy, and my amniotic fluid index is showing as 9. My consultant suggested taking a certain powder for a week. I'm really keen on understanding what kind of fluids I could drink to naturally help increase my amniotic fluid levels. Could you guide me on this? I'm a bit curious and worried.
