I've been trying to conceive for a year now with no success. I have a 3x3cm intramural fibroid could that be affecting my chances? My first IUI failed, and now my doctor is suggesting fibroid removal. Is this surgery a big procedure, and what's the best option for someone trying to get pregnant?

Yes, many patients with fibroids can get pregnant. But to improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy, it's best to discuss your goals and priorities with your doctor. If fibroids are having an impact on your quality of life, a gynecologic surgeon can discuss treatment options that can help preserve your fertility.

I've been having really bad menstrual cramps and backaches, and I feel so much body ache about a week before my period even starts. It's gotten to the point where I can hardly walk because of the pain, and for three days, I can't sleep or even eat properly. I end up taking Meftal Spas when it just gets too much to handle. Is there anything else I can do to manage or maybe even reduce this pain?
