My mom had a cannula in her hand for 5 days and it's been about 2 days since it was taken out. She's really in a lot of pain where it was, and now that areas swollen and turned a blue-pink color. She says it feels like there's a throbbing or pulsating pain, almost like there's pus underneath, but we cant see anything. Any idea what might be going on?

Uterine fibroids can be managed without surgery, but a complete cure is often challenging. Medications can help alleviate symptoms, shrink fibroids, and improve quality of life.
Medication Options
- Hormonal therapies: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, birth control pills, or progesterone can help reduce fibroid size and symptoms.
- Ulipristal acetate: A medication that can shrink fibroids and reduce bleeding.
- Tranexamic acid: A medication that can help reduce heavy bleeding.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen can help manage pain and cramping.
Other Non-Surgical Options
- Uterine artery embolization (UAE): A minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.
- Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS): A non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to heat and shrink fibroids.
- High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU): A non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to heat and shrink fibroids.
Considerations
- Fibroid size and location: Larger fibroids or those located near the uterine cavity may be more challenging to treat without surgery.
- Symptom severity: If symptoms are severe, surgery might be necessary.
- Age and fertility: If you're trying to conceive, some treatments might not be suitable.
Next Steps
- Consult your gynecologist: Discuss your treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
- Monitor fibroid growth: Regularly track the size and growth of your fibroids to adjust treatment plans as needed.
While medications and non-surgical options can help manage uterine fibroids, it's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to determine the most effective treatment plan for your individual situation.

I recently got tested at Lal Path Labs and found out that both Chlamydia and Herpes came back reactive. I'm unmarried and now I'm confused about whether I should get married or not. Can these diseases be cured? What could happen if these are passed on to a female partner? I'm taking homeopathic medicines right now. I'm really worried about this whole situation.
Your son is due for the IPV and Hib vaccines, but unfortunately, they're not available right now. Don't worry, I've got some advice to help you navigate this situation. Firstly, *delayed vaccination is not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either*. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids receive the Hib vaccine at 12-15 months, and the IPV vaccine at 12-18 months . Since your son is already 2 weeks overdue, *you should consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action*. They may recommend alternative vaccination schedules or provide guidance on when the vaccines are likely to become available again. In the meantime, *make sure your son is up-to-date on all other recommended vaccinations*. This will help protect him from other serious diseases. Lastly, *don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a vaccination specialist for further guidance*. They can provide personalized advice and help you make informed decisions about your son's vaccination schedule.
