I'm in my first trimester and I'm really worried about stretch marks. I've heard about bio oil helping with them, but I'm unsure if it's safe to use right now. Can you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use bio oil at this stage in my pregnancy?

Yes, you can use Bio-Oil for stretch marks during pregnancy. It is safe to use and can help improve the appearance of stretch marks. Apply Bio-Oil twice daily in a circular motion until fully absorbed.

What's the best way to permanently remove a rasoli from my uterus? I've heard about laser treatments are they an option for this, and how effective are they compared to other surgeries? I'm a bit worried about the recovery and long-term effects.

The most definitive way to permanently remove "rasoli" (uterin fibroids) from the uterus is hysterectomy, which involves removing the entire uterus. Myomectomy, which involves surgically removing only the fibroids while preserving the uterus, is another option, particularly if you want to maintain your fertility. Laser treatments, like those used for laser hair removal or in laparoscopic myomectomy, are not a primary treatment for fibroids and are not a definitive solution
