My mom's ultrasound report shows multiple fibroids in her uterus. Can these be treated with medication or is surgery the only option? Really confused about what to do next and worried about her health
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Uterine fibroids can often be managed with medication, especially if symptoms are mild and the fibroids are not causing significant problems. Surgery is also an option, particularly if symptoms are severe or if medication isn't effective. The best approach depends on your mom's individual circumstances, including the size and location of the fibroids, her symptoms, and her desire for future pregnancies

I'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?
