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?

I've taken misoprostol today at 11 amtwo tablets of 200 mg eachbut there's no bleeding yet. Then, I took another two tablets around 7 pm. How long should I expect to wait before the bleeding starts? I'm getting a bit worried and would really appreciate some advice on what's normal in this situation.
After taking misoprostol, bleeding typically starts within 1-4 hours, but it can take up to 24 hours; since you took the second dose at 7 pm, you may experience bleeding within the next 12-24 hours; however, if you haven't bled or experienced severe symptoms like heavy bleeding, severe pain, or fever, consult your gynaecologist

My mom is 45 and has a tumor-like growth in her uterus. One doctor said surgery isn't urgent and the lumps might shrink after her periods stop. Should we wait or is immediate surgery necessary? Just worried about what's best for her.
Myomectomy (my-o-MEK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids — also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs). These common noncancerous growths appear in the uterus. Uterine fibroids usually develop during childbearing years, but they can occur at any age.
