I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids back in May and really don't want to go through surgery. Are there any effective remedies or medicines that can help shrink or melt the fibroids naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?

Fibroids may shrink with GnRH analogs, herbal remedies, or diet changes—surgery is last resort if no improvement.

View allSo, I'm a little confused and worried because I did a pregnancy test and it showed a weak positive result. What does that actually mean? Why would it show up as weak positive instead of a clear result? Could there be something wrong, or is it just too early to tell? Would love some clarity on this.
Weak positive pregnancy test results typically indicate a low level of hCG hormone in the urine, which may be due to early pregnancy or a diluted urine sample. It is recommended to repeat the test with a concentrated urine sample in the morning for more accurate results. If you are indeed pregnant, please start taking folic acid supplements and consult with your obstetrician for further guidance on prenatal care.

I just found out I have a 8 x 7.2 cm uterus fibroid after my MRI and ultrasound. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried and would like to know my options.
Many women with uterine fibroids experience no signs or symptoms, or only mildly annoying signs and symptoms that they can live with. If that's the case for you, watchful waiting could be the best option. Fibroids aren't cancerous. They usually grow slowly — or not at all — and tend to shrink after menopause, when levels of reproductive hormones drop. Medications for uterine fibroids target hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. They don't eliminate fibroids, but may shrink them. Consult gynecologist for further advice...

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have a 99 mm chocolate cyst do I really need surgery for it and if so is it safe for the baby
A 99mm (almost 4 inches) chocolate cyst during pregnancy, while large, doesn't automatically require surgery. Your doctor will assess the cyst's growth, your symptoms, and other factors to determine the best course of action. Generally, cysts larger than 4cm are often recommended for removal, but other factors like your symptoms and pregnancy stage play a role.
