I've got this really big fibroid on the back wall of my uterus and my periods are normal, but the fibroid is like 13 cm. Should I consider getting surgery for it, or would trying homeopathic medicines be better? I'm really unsure about what to do and would love some advice.

For a fibroid of that size, surgical intervention is usually recommended to address the issue effectively. Homeopathic medicines may not be able to shrink a fibroid of that size significantly. I would advise consulting with a gynecologist to discuss the surgical options available, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, based on your individual case.

I've been struggling with painful intercourse with my husband it feels like hitting a wall no matter how many times we try. We've used different lubricants and gels, but nothing helps. Is there any medical procedure or surgery to help enlarge or break the hymen so we can have successful intercourse?

If painful intercourse is caused by a restrictive hymen, a medical procedure called a hymenotomy can be performed to break or enlarge the hymen. This procedure can help to alleviate pain and make intercourse more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this is the root cause of the pain and to discuss whether a hymenotomy is appropriate for you. There may also be other medical or psychological factors contributing to the pain, so a thorough evaluation is crucial.
