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—please consult your gynecologist.

I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm worried because I was 3 weeks pregnant and took the abortion pills prescribed by my gynecologist, but I've been told my womb wasn't cleaned out properly. Can you tell me how much it might cost to get my womb cleaned up?

Depends on various factors such as the healthcare facility, location, and specific procedures required. The cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. You may need to undergo a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as Misoprostol to help with the process. It is important to follow up with your gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.
