My mom is 50 and has been having lower abdomen pain for days. Her USG scan shows a retroverted uterus and low lying prolapse. How serious is this and will she need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A retroverted uterus and low-lying prolapse can cause lower abdominal pain and may or may not require surgery, depending on the severity and symptoms. A retroverted uterus (tilted backward) is common and often doesn't cause symptoms, but can sometimes be associated with pain, especially during menstruation or intercourse. Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into the vagina, can range from mild to severe and may cause discomfort or interfere with daily activities. Treatment options vary, with mild cases often managed with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes, while more severe cases may require surgery.

View allI'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?
Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.

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.

I've had a lump in my right breast, around 35 cm, slightly toward the lower side, for about 5 years now. Tried homeopathy but didn't see much improvement. Got a mammogram in 2017 which showed it's a fibroadenoma, and the doctor advised removing it soon, but I'm not keen on surgery. Can it be treated with medication instead? If not, what could happen if I leave it since it doesn't bother me much just occasional mild pain during my period. Also, my periods have been irregular for the past 23 months, sometimes late by 2-3 days or up to a week, but recently it was two weeks late. Could this be related to the lump? Should I be worried?
Long-standing fibroadenoma usually needs surgical removal if symptomatic; medications don’t shrink it, and leaving it may risk growth or discomfort, though not typically linked to periods.
