I've been having waist pain and irregular periods, and my ultrasound showed uterine fibroids. Should I be considering surgery for this or are there other options?

Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health‚Äîplease consult your gynecologist.

Just got another USG report and it's attached here. Could you take a look and let me know if surgery is really necessary or if there are other treatment options we could try? Really unsure about the next steps here.

I'm a bit worried because I missed my period. Can I use a home test like Prega News to see if I'm pregnant, or should I do a urine or blood test at the lab?

Concerns about your daughter's weight and development are understandable. At 14 months, most children start walking and weigh around 9-10 kg. Consider the following: - Consult a pediatrician for personalized advice. - Ensure proper nutrition: Increase calorie intake with nutrient-rich foods. - Vitamin and mineral supplements may be necessary. Pediatrician may recommend: - Weight gain supplements like Pediasure or Ensure. - Vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone development. Please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and accidentally ate some raw papaya, and I heard it's not safe during pregnancy. What should I do now?
