I'm dealing with a bulky uterine fibroid and really want to avoid surgery since I'm single. Can you help me understand the root cause and explore non-surgical treatment options? What could be triggering this and are there natural ways to manage it?

Left ovarian cyst size is 6556mm according to my ultrasound report. I'm 28 and already have two kids with no plans for more in the future. Can this be treated with medicine or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about what to expect.

Cyst is large enough to cause symptoms like abdomen pain ,bloating sensation,torsion or rupture.Large cysts more than 10 cms requires surgery,a gynaecologist opinion is advised for further management of the cyst.

I've been dealing with some itching in my vulva and tried using Candid B, but it hasn't really helped. It's not because of any white discharge, but I noticed some redness there too. I've also got this itching between the skin that connects my anus and vagina. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

That could be bacterial or fungal vaginitis,visit your Gynaecologist for appropriate management.
