my mom has had painful periods for 34 years and now doctors are recommending ovary removal surgery but I'm really scared about the operation - is this the only option or are there other treatments we can try first

Chronic painful periods may indicate endometriosis or fibroids; ovary removal is a last resort after trying hormonal and medical therapy options.

View allHow many days after period can you not get pregnant?
You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

I've got two reports showing issues in my uterus and I'm really worried. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other options? Also, what are the chances of recovery if it's stage 1?
Issues in the uterus can sometimes be treated without surgery, especially in early stages. Non-surgical treatments like medication or uterine artery embolization might be options. Stage 1 conditions generally have a high recovery rate with the right care.

My wife has a bulgy uterus around 11.2 cm but no issues like bleeding or pain. The doctor recently removed her left ovary along with an ovarian cyst. She's had two C-sections. Should she still take medication for the bulgy uterus or are there other options we should consider?
A bulky uterus without symptoms doesn't always need treatment; monitoring or hormone therapy can help if needed, especially post-cyst removal and prior surgeries.
