I'm 41 with regular periods but sometimes get spotting around day 10 or 11. All my blood tests thyroid, prolactin, vitamin B12, CBC are normal, though my HbA1c is 6.1 and I have mild cholesterol. An ultrasound showed polyps, and compared to a scan two years ago, they've grown by 0.9 in size. Do they need to be removed? I'm not sexually active and have a 5-year-old daughter. Could these polyps keep growing, and is surgery necessary? Can I just monitor them for changes? What's the chance they could turn cancerous

View allMy wife's been having some back pain and issues with her uterus for about a year now, she's 40. A few gynaecologists suggested we need to go for a surgery to remove the uterus. I'm just trying to understand, how much does this operation usually cost, and are there any side effects we should be aware of after the surgery? Could you give me some advice on this?
Dear Kumar, removing the uterus (hysterectomy) is a common and generally safe procedure when necessary. The cost can vary based on the hospital and type of surgery but is typically between 50,000-1,50,000. Side effects may include temporary pain, hormonal changes if ovaries are removed, and recovery time of about 4-6 weeks. Please consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation and options.

I'm really worried because I took vaginal misoprostol two days ago, and there's still no bleeding. Is this normal? Should I be thinking about taking more, or is there something else going on?
If there's no bleeding after taking misoprostol, it could be due to individual variations in how your body responds to the medication. It's important not to take more without consulting your doctor, as they can assess your situation and determine the best course of action.
