Question 1

My aunt is 49 and has a bulky uterus measuring 17138 cm with multiple fibroids, the largest being 70mm. She's on medications but doesn't have excessive bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. How serious is this does she need surgery or can she keep managing with meds until menopause?

Accepted Answer

A 70mm fibroid in a bulky uterus (17138 cm, which seems to be a typo and is likely a measurement in a different unit, perhaps 171.38 cm) in a 49-year-old woman can be managed with medication if there are no symptoms or significant complications, especially as she approaches menopause. Surgery may be considered if symptoms worsen, if the fibroid grows rapidly, or if it causes complications like infertility or pelvic organ compression

Question 2

I've been taking Meprate for my periods, but I'm still experiencing scanty ones. Is this normal? Can I expect my periods to become heavier like they used to be? How long should I wait to see changes?

Question 3

I've been dealing with soreness in one of my nipples for a few days now, and its really uncomfortable when I touch it. A few months back, I had some discharge from the same nipple and underwent an ultrasound and several blood tests, but everything came back negative. Ive been on birth control pills for about 7 years. Any ideas on why I might be experiencing this pain, even though there's no discharge or other issues right now?
