I had a C-section about four months ago and now I have these hard, painful lumps on my left hip. I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't. What could these be and should I be worried?

Hard, painful lumps on the hip four months after a C-section could be related to scar tissue, a hernia, or even endometriosis. While some lumps are normal post-surgery, persistent pain and lumps warrant medical evaluation. It's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I'm experiencing. My partner and I had sex around my ovulation, specifically on day 14 of my cycle, and now just two days after, I'm noticing weakness, leg cramps, and feeling like I'm going to vomit, but without actually throwing up. Could these be early signs of pregnancy?

Its possible that these symptoms could be early signs of pregnancy, but they can also be linked to hormonal changes around ovulation. If your period is late, a home pregnancy test can help clarify whether you're pregnant.

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?

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
