I've been diagnosed with a few myoma tumors in my uterus and I'm really worried is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can explore? I'd love to understand my choices better

MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids that destroys fibroids while preserving the normal uterus. Focused high-frequency, high-energy sound waves are used to target the proteins in fibroids, until they are destroyed.

View allI'm pregnant and I've noticed that one of my nipples is retracting or going inward. What could this mean, and should I be worried? If I decide to see a doctor, do you have any idea how much a hospital visit might cost for something like this?
You can take a urine pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. It sounds like you may be experiencing inverted nipples, which can sometimes occur during pregnancy. To help with this issue, you can try using a nipple extractor or breast shells to draw out the nipple. Additionally, gently massaging the nipple and expressing milk can also help. As for the cost at the hospital, it can vary depending on your location and the specific services you receive. It would be best to contact the hospital or your healthcare provider for more information on the potential costs. During pregnancy, it's important to take care of your breasts and nipples to prepare for breastfeeding. If you have any concerns or if the issue persists, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been diagnosed with a 12 cm bulky fibroid in my uterus. My doctor recommended a hysterectomy since I'm 43, but I'm really nervous about surgery. Are there any other treatment options I could explore? I'm worried and not sure what to do.
Yes, there are alternatives to hysterectomy for uterine fibroids. Since you are 43 and your doctor is recommending hysterectomy, it's important to discuss other options like myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus) or non-surgical treatments like uterine artery embolization (UAE) or focused ultrasound. You can also explore medication options to shrink fibroids or manage symptoms. A second opinion from another gynecologist can also be helpful.

My last menstrual cycle started on 15/05/2019 but it was a mistake because she's pregnant now. I'm considering abortion but she's already had three surgical deliveries. Can you advise on the risks or what options we have in this situation?
gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
