I'm not married and have a fibroid measuring 28mm to 38mm. I was told it can't be cured without surgery but the gynecologist I visited didn't prescribe any medication. What should I do about this situation?

It's understandable to be concerned about fibroids, especially if you're experiencing symptoms or have been told they can't be cured without surgery. While a 28mm to 38mm fibroid is a significant size, it doesn't necessarily mean surgery is the only option. You should seek a second opinion from another gynecologist to explore different treatment approaches, including medication and potentially less invasive surgical options

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling like I might be leaking amniotic fluid. I'm also noticing that my baby has hiccups quite a lot these days. I'm worried about how quickly the amniotic fluid might decrease if there's a leak and what I should be looking out for in upcoming scans. Can you help me understand what's happening and what steps I should take?

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on February 11th, and my period had ended just a few days before on the 8th. I took an Unwanted 72 pill within 7 hours afterward. A week later, I experienced withdrawal bleeding for 5 days. I'm really worried about whether there's still a chance I could be pregnant. Also, I'm confused about when I should expect my next period. Can you please help me figure this out?
