I'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?

My 40-year-old mom has three kids and was diagnosed with fibroids. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about right now, but we're still concerned. Can fibroids shrink with medication, or is surgery the only option? We'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Fibroids may shrink with medication, but if they cause significant symptoms or complications, surgery may become necessary. A second opinion from a gynecologist could help clarify the best course of action.

My wife has been dealing with an endometriosis cyst for over a year now. We tried allopathy first and then switched to Siddha medicine for the past 9 months it's helped but hasn't fully cured her. I'm wondering if Ayurveda and Siddha use similar treatments or if switching to Ayurveda might give better results. Is there any guarantee that Ayurveda can completely cure it? We really want to avoid surgery and are exploring alternative treatments. What would you suggest?

treatment depends on intensity of symptoms as well as pathology on seeing the reports and patient we can start the treatment. Next Steps Recent reports of Sonography to understand the present status
