I'm a bit concerned about the looseness I've noticed in the skin of my labia majora, and it's got me wondering about natural ways to tighten it without surgery, especially since I'm only 24. Do you have any insights on why this might be happening at my age and any natural solutions I could try?

Low Vitamin D3 levels can be concerning.

Natural ways to increase Vitamin D3:

Sunlight exposure: Spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm), to boost Vitamin D3 production.

Fatty fish: Consume fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are rich in Vitamin D3.

Fortified foods: Eat Vitamin D3-fortified foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice.

Mushrooms: Certain mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, are natural sources of Vitamin D3.

Egg yolks: Egg yolks are a good source of Vitamin D3.

Supplements:

If you're unable to get enough Vitamin D3 through natural sources, consider consulting with your doctor about taking supplements.

Target levels:

Aim to increase your Vitamin D3 levels to 30-50 ngmL.

Monitor progress:

Regularly check your Vitamin D3 levels to ensure you're reaching the target range.

I have two fibroids around 2.8 cm and 2.7 cm in size and really don't want to go through surgery. Is it possible to treat them completely with just medicines or are there other non-surgical options that might work for me

Yes, it's possible to treat uterine fibroids non-surgically, including through medication and other procedures. Your fibroids, being around 2.8 and 2.7 cm, fall within a size range where non-surgical options are often considered.

I'm 6 months pregnant and my gynecologist mentioned getting a cervical cerclage because I've had previous abortions. I've been having stomach and groin pain. I also had an ASD device closure in October 2020 and am currently taking Ecosprin 75. Do you think it's safe for me to proceed with the cervical cerclage? Could there be any complications I should be aware of?

This procedure can help prevent premature birth and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. To help with the pain in your stomach and groin, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Since you are already taking Ecosprin 75, continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor to prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the placenta. Make sure to follow your gynecologist's advice and attend all recommended prenatal check-ups for a safe and healthy pregnancy.
