My 40-year-old mom has three kids and was diagnosed with fibroids. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about right now, but we're still concerned. Can fibroids shrink with medication, or is surgery the only option? We'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Fibroids may shrink with medication, but if they cause significant symptoms or complications, surgery may become necessary. A second opinion from a gynecologist could help clarify the best course of action.

My mom has two fibroids in her uterus and had a biopsy six months ago, but her uterus still hasn't healed. The doctor is recommending surgery to remove her uterus what should we do? Is there any other option or way to help her heal without surgery?

I'm really worried because I've been having a high fever between 102 and 104. I've been taking Dolo 650 three times a day to bring it down, but the fever keeps coming back with a lot of shivering. I delivered about six weeks ago and had an episiotomy, and I'm still dealing with a lot of stitches pain. Is taking Dolo 650 six times in two days too much? I'm also having a lot of lower back pain, back pain, headache, and neck nerve pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Seems like you are experiencing postpartum fever and pain after episiotomy. The fever may be due to an infection related to the delivery. I recommend you to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can continue taking Dolo 650 for fever, but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a little confused about my recent double marker test results from last week. The beta hCG is at 188.80 ngmL and PAPP-A is at 6.76 mIUmL. I'm having twins, so I'm wondering if these numbers are in the normal range or if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help me understand what these results mean?
