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'm about four months along in my pregnancy, and I've been dealing with a blocked nose since around the sixth week. On top of that, for the past week or so, I've developed a cough with mucus from my throat. My doctor recommended taking Taxim O 200 for five days, and I just finished the course. However, I'm still experiencing wheezing and chest congestion. In the past, I've taken Budamate 200 with my doctor monitoring, but I'm unsure now if using the inhaler is safe during pregnancy. Could you provide some guidance on this?

I'm having this really annoying itch every day around my varginity area, and it's so disturbing. Plus, I think it's turning into some kind of infection because now I'm also experiencing a urinal infection. What could be causing this, and how can I get it treated?

Consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment; in the meantime, maintain good hygiene, avoid scratching, and apply topical creams or ointments like clotrimazole or miconazole to alleviate itching and infection symptoms.
