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.

Bleeding may start as light spotting, or it could be heavier and appear as a gush of blood. As the cervix dilates to empty, the bleeding becomes heavier. The heaviest bleeding is generally over within three to five hours from the time heavy bleeding begins.

My left ovary has something called an enlarged cyst that measures about 27x21mm, and I've been having really heavy stomach pains and bleeding during my periods. The pain's been so bad that I feel like throwing up sometimes. My periods are also delayed. Should I be worried about the cyst or all these symptoms, or is there something particular this might be indicating?
Your symptoms could be related to an ovarian cyst. The delay in periods, heavy stomach pain, and bleeding during periods, along with vomiting, are concerning symptoms. I recommend you consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take pain relief medication such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the stomach pain. The usual dosage for ibuprofen is 200-400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm a 21-year-old female and had both unprotected and protected sex with my boyfriend on the last day of my ovulation window. I took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning. It's been two weeks now and I haven't experienced any withdrawal bleeding, plus I've missed my period. There was no semen contact. Is there still a possibility of being pregnant, or could it just be that the pill is delaying my period?
It is possible that the delay in your period is due to the emergency contraceptive pill you took. However, to rule out pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can consider taking a pregnancy test for confirmation.
