I'm really worried about whether APCOD is a good medicine for managing PCOD. Are there any side effects I should know about? Also, is it an allopathic, Ayurvedic, or homeopathic remedy?

APCOD is an Ayurvedic medicine commonly used to treat Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOD), and while some women report benefits, its effectiveness is largely anecdotal and not extensively scientifically proven; potential side effects may include gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, or interactions with other medications, so consult an Ayurvedic practitioner

Can Herbalife cure fibroids?

To some extent

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

My mom has an 8.07.5 cm uterine fibroid in the right lateral wall and her endometrial echo is 10 mm. She's dealing with heavy bleeding should she go for surgery, and if so, would a hysterectomy or just a myomectomy be better? We're really confused about what to do next and would appreciate some guidance. I've attached her ultrasound pelvis report for reference.

fibroids larger than 5-6 cm (about 2-2.4 inches), especially if they are affecting your fertility, rapidly growing, or causing symptoms are an indication for hysterectomy

I've had a cyst develop on my left labia minora near the vagina before, and the doctor drained it surgically. Now it's come back for the third time why does this keep happening and what can be done to prevent it from recurring

If it is painful it can be an indication of bartholin's abscess. You will need course of antibiotics and painkillers. If you are getting recurrent infection, it is better to get the bartholin cyst removed
