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'm a bit worried about a UTI during my pregnancy and I'm trying to figure out if C tax O 200 mg and Taxim O 200 mg are the same thing. Also, is it safe to take while I'm two months pregnant? My test results showed epithelial cells 5 to 6 hpf, pus cells 3 to 5 hpf with occasional clumps, occasional granular casts, and a few bacteria. Could you help me understand this better?

I have an 8cm ovarian cyst and really want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can shrink or remove it? I'm worried about the size and hoping for non-surgical options.
While some ovarian cysts naturally resolve without treatment, an 8cm cyst might require medical intervention. There isn't a specific medication to shrink or remove an existing ovarian cyst. However, certain medications can help manage symptoms and potentially prevent new cysts from forming. If the cyst is causing pain, discomfort, or other issues, or if it's not a functional cyst, surgery (laparoscopy or open surgery) may be recommended

My sister's been dealing with a 9mm right ovarian cyst for almost a year now, and despite going through several treatments, she's not getting better. Now she's started vomiting even when she hasnt eaten, she's got constant body pain, continuous diarrhea, and sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Could you guide me on what kind of specialist we should see and what tests or exams might be necessary?
