My mom is 47 and just found out she has a grossly enlarged uterus with intramural fibroids. The uterus measures around 6.2x7.7x7.3 cm and the fibroids are about 4.8x4.3x4.1 cm. Her hemoglobin is really low at 5. She's against surgery what other options can we explore to manage this?

It's been 3 months since my ruptured ectopic pregnancy laparotomy surgery on the right tube. Everything seems healed now, and my periods are regular. I have two concerns first, there's still slight swelling and numbness on the right side of my pelvic area, but no pain. Is this normal as part of the healing process, and will it go away over time? Second, I want to start more intense abdominal and body exercises for fat loss since I've been doing basic ones. Is it safe to increase the intensity now?

Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option

My wife recently gave birth to a baby girl a few months ago, and we're thinking about spacing out our next child. Weve heard about the copper T when it comes to birth control, but were not exactly sure when we should get it inserted. Could you provide some guidance on this?

You can consider getting the Copper T inserted around 6-8 weeks postpartum, once your body has had some time to recover and after your first postpartum checkup. Its important to consult your doctor to ensure its the right choice for you and to discuss timing based on your health and preferences.
