Question

My mom is 50 and has a 20 cm fibroid in her uterus. What's the best way to treat this without surgery? Is there a non-surgical cure or any natural remedies that could help shrink it?

if she has excessive bleeding during her periods or if she has severe abdominal pain, surgery will be the better option.

Question

I'm really concerned about what's going on with my vulva. It feels really itchy and sensitive, and I've noticed I keep getting these cuts or tears where my labia minora attaches. Sometimes they even bleed. The area around my vulva, especially where the hair starts, is really dry and looks white, plus it's super itchy. There's this white layer covering the vulva, and the whole area seems unusually dry. On top of that, there's a foul smell that I can't ignore. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

Question

Can I use the 10% Betadine solution for a sitz bath to help with my episiotomy stitches? I was previously using the 5% solution, but now I only have the 10% one. Is it safe to continue with the sitz bath using this higher concentration? Im just worried if it might be too strong.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?
