I've just found out I'm pregnant and recently got a vaginal infection. I'm in my first trimester and wondering if it's safe for me to use Clotrimazole ointment. I'm really worried about the effects it might have during this early stage of pregnancy. Could you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use, or if there's something else I should consider?

My mom is 40 and was just diagnosed with a bulky uterus with multiple fibroids and a right hemorrhagic ovarian cyst that's 3126 mm in her right ovary. We're really worried and confused about whether surgery or medication would be the better treatment option for her. What do you suggest is the best way to handle this?

It's understandable that you're worried about your mom's diagnosis. Since she's 40 and has both fibroids and a large ovarian cyst, the best approach is to have a thorough discussion with her gynecologist. They will need to assess her symptoms, consider her future fertility desires, and determine the best treatment plan for her specific situation
