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?

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

I've just found out from a scan today that I have a tiny nabothian cyst on my cervix. I'm not really sure what it means and I'm a bit worried because I already have a cyst on my left ovary. Is this nabothian cyst something I should be concerned about? Will it mess with any pregnancy treatments I'm planning on having? Please, I could really use some advice!
A nabothian cyst is a small, benign growth on the cervix, typically harmless and asymptomatic, often resolving on its own; having a nabothian cyst is unlikely to affect pregnancy or fertility, but it's essential to monitor both the nabothian cyst and the ovarian cyst through regular check-ups with your gynecologist to ensure they don't cause any complications or affect your reproductive health

My wife has been dealing with an endometriosis cyst for over a year now. We tried allopathy first and then switched to Siddha medicine for the past 9 months it's helped but hasn't fully cured her. I'm wondering if Ayurveda and Siddha use similar treatments or if switching to Ayurveda might give better results. Is there any guarantee that Ayurveda can completely cure it? We really want to avoid surgery and are exploring alternative treatments. What would you suggest?
treatment depends on intensity of symptoms as well as pathology on seeing the reports and patient we can start the treatment. Next Steps Recent reports of Sonography to understand the present status
