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?

My partner and I have noticed that during sex, initially, theres a lot of tightness, but then it seems to loosen after a few seconds. Is this a common thing, or should we be worried? I'd love to understand why this happens and if there's something we should do?

This could be due to **erectile dysfunction** or difficulty maintaining an erection, which may be linked to stress, anxiety, fatigue, or medical conditions like poor blood flow or hormonal imbalances. A consultation with a doctor is important to assess the underlying cause and explore treatment options.
