I have three fibroids in my uterus and the largest one is 6cm. Is there any way to treat them naturally or is surgery the only option? I'm really worried about what to do next

While you can't cure fibroids on your own, several treatment options are available, and surgery is not always the first or only choice. For a 6cm fibroid, your doctor might recommend a myomectomy (surgical removal of the fibroids) or other procedures like uterine artery embolization, depending on your symptoms and overall health. Additionally, non-surgical options like hormonal treatments or watchful waiting might be considered

I'm 22 weeks along in my first pregnancy, and after a recent scan, my cervical length measured 2.9 cm. At the NT scan, it was 3 cm. Should I be worried about this change in cervical length, or is it considered normal?

Cervical length of less than 3cm measured between 20-24 weeks of gestation is associated with preterm births and favours vaginal birth whereas, cervical length of more than 4cm is associated with postdated pregnancy and increased incidence of cesarean section.

I'm having trouble with getting wet during intimacy. Even when I'm in the mood, I just don't seem to produce natural lubricant. What can I do to help my body produce it naturally? I love being with my partner, so it's really frustrating. Also, I've noticed some wart-like things around my vaginal area. Any advice on how to treat these?

It sounds like you're experiencing dryness, which can happen for various reasons, including hormonal changes or stress. You might benefit from using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. For the warts, it's important to get them checked by a healthcare provider, as they may be caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and treatment options are available. Please consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.
