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.

I've been on Primolut N for 10 days and after stopping it, I had some withdrawal bleeding that lasted for 2 days. The first day was moderate with reddish-brown blood, and then the second day was just minimal, brown, and had some tiny clots. Is this normal? Do I need to be worried about these symptoms?

I've been dealing with this issue for a while and I'm pretty confused about it. I'm 23 and my periods are either super light or almost nonexistent at times. Sometimes I'll just see a tiny bit of blood, and then nothing for the first few days, but then it starts up from the 4th day. It gets me pretty worried. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

Your irregular menstrual bleeding patterns, including delayed onset, reduced flow, or prolonged spotting, could be due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, stress, or weight fluctuations; consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation, pelvic exam, and potential ultrasound or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
