I'm living in the Czech Republic and recently had a laparoscopic myomectomy. It was on February 23rd, and I just got home from the hospital after 5 days. The surgery was a bit tricky because the fibroid was quite large, about 7cm, and I ended up losing 1000ml of blood. The surgeon mentioned I should wait about a year before trying to conceive so that the scar has enough time to heal. I'm curious about what I should expect post-surgery, specifically concerning my menstrual cycle. Also, my belly seems a little swollen, almost like I've gained weight, and I'm puzzled about what's causing it. Is it okay for me to start doing yoga? And should I continue taking Folic acid tablets? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Pregnancy with Mitral Heart Disease
Safety of Continuing Pregnancy
- High-risk pregnancy: Your pregnancy is considered high-risk due to your pre-existing mitral heart disease.
- Close monitoring: Your cardiologist and obstetrician will closely monitor your condition throughout the pregnancy.
- Risk of complications: There is a risk of complications, such as heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke, during pregnancy and childbirth.
Surgery After Delivery
- Open-heart surgery: Your cardiologist recommends open-heart surgery after delivery to address the severe mitral regurgitation.
- Valve repair or replacement: The decision between valve repair and replacement will depend on the surgical evaluation of your valve condition.
Surgical Options
- Valve repair: Repairing the mitral valve can preserve the natural valve and avoid long-term anticoagulation.
- Valve replacement: Replacing the mitral valve with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve may be necessary if the valve is severely damaged.
Precautions During Pregnancy
- Regular check-ups: Attend regular check-ups with your cardiologist and obstetrician.
- Monitor for symptoms: Watch for signs of heart failure, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities: Avoid strenuous activities and lift heavy objects.

View allI've just started taking Primolut N 5 mg twice a day to delay my period, but it still began today. I'm not sure if I should keep taking the pills or stop. Is there any chance that my period might stop if I continue with them? And if I decide to quit, what happens with the two pills I've already taken? I'm really confused about what to do next.
Since your period has already started, its likely best to stop taking the Primolut-N. The tablets youve already taken may have a mild effect on the flow and duration, but they wont stop your period now. If you continue to have concerns or if you experience abnormal bleeding, its important to check with your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm curious if there's any medication for women that can help enhance stamina and sustain performance when being intimate, maybe something to take an hour before. Also, is it advisable or safe to engage in intimacy four times a day, and are there specific drugs for that? I've been wondering about this and thought I'd ask.
For improving sexual stamina, some women may benefit from **l-arginine** supplements, which can enhance blood flow, or **ginseng** for increased energy. However, it's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication or supplement, as individual needs and health conditions vary. Regular communication with a partner and relaxation techniques also play an important role in improving intimacy.

I've been dealing with some irregular periods lately, and I'm trying to figure out why this might be happening. I'm 22 years old, and this has only started happening in the past few months. What could be the causes for these changes in my menstrual cycle?
Common reasons include hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and certain medications. I would recommend consulting with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If hormonal imbalance is suspected, birth control pills like "Yaz" can be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle.
