My mom has an 8.07.5 cm uterine fibroid in the right lateral wall and her endometrial echo is 10 mm. She's dealing with heavy bleeding should she go for surgery, and if so, would a hysterectomy or just a myomectomy be better? We're really confused about what to do next and would appreciate some guidance. I've attached her ultrasound pelvis report for reference.

fibroids larger than 5-6 cm (about 2-2.4 inches), especially if they are affecting your fertility, rapidly growing, or causing symptoms are an indication for hysterectomy

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?
Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person. Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms. However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years. In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon. Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced. It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.
