My mom has two large fibroids around 2.6 to 2.8 cm and the report says there are multiple fibroids. She's dealing with heavy bleeding during her periods but no other symptoms. Is there a way to treat this without surgery or an operation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your mother's fibroids, even if 2.6 to 2.8 cm, can contribute to heavy bleeding, and the presence of multiple fibroids can amplify this. A doctor should evaluate the severity of her symptoms and assess the location and size of the fibroids to determine the best course of treatment

View allI'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?
Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.

I found out I have a 6cm fibroid near my left ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopy - can this type of surgery completely remove it or would I need a bigger abdominal operation? I'm worried about whether laparoscopy will be enough to take care of it or if the fibroid might need more invasive treatment
A 6cm fibroid near your left ovary warrants consideration for removal, and laparoscopy is a viable option. Laparoscopy allows for minimally invasive surgical removal of fibroids, particularly those up to 7-8cm, according to Ankuran IVF Clinic. Your doctor's recommendation is likely due to the fibroid's size, its location near the ovary, and potentially the presence of symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain.

I've been taking folic acid and multivitamins for three months now, and my husband just had minor piles surgery. Should we be careful about anything during his recovery or with my supplements? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect us
Folic acid supplements are safe, and your husband should follow post-operative care for piles. No major precautions are needed unless advised by the surgeon.
