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 ‚Äî 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 in a relationship for 24 days and just found out I'm pregnant. What are the options for abortion is it a long procedure like surgery or can it be done with pills? I'm still a student, so can you explain how it works and whether I need to tell my parents or if I can just go to the hospital?

Medical abortion up to 7 weeks is possible with pills‚Äîdone under supervision; legality depends on age and consent, parental consent not mandatory if adult.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't gotten my period this month. Today is the 35th day and my cycle is usually 28 days. Last week I had cramps like I usually do when it's about to start, but no blood came, just a heavy discharge. Can you help me understand what's going on?
