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 really worried because on February 10th, my boyfriend and I had non-penetrative sexual activity where he rubbed his penis on my vagina, and there was some pre-cum and possibly a bit of ejaculation. I read online that you can potentially get pregnant in this way. My last period was on January 23rd, and I'm feeling anxious and stressed that these activities might have made me pregnant. I've also been experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms like burping, gas, constipation, pain in my nipple area, and acne. Could this mean I'm pregnant? Is it really possible to get pregnant from what we did?

For mild COVID-19 cases, treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and supporting your immune system. Your doctor may prescribe antiviral medications like Paxlovid, which has been shown to be effective in reducing the severity of COVID-19 symptoms . In terms of teleconsultation platforms, you can search online for options available in your area. Some popular platforms include telemedicine services offered by health insurance providers, online clinics, and virtual hospital platforms. Before your teleconsultation, make sure to have the following information ready: - *Medical history*: Share your medical history, including any underlying health conditions and medications you're currently taking. - *Symptoms*: Describe your COVID-19 symptoms, including their severity and duration. - *Test results*: Share your COVID-19 test results and any other relevant medical records.

Yes, options include hormonal therapy, uterine artery embolization, and MRI-guided focused ultrasound. But size and symptoms matter—surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) may be needed if severe.
