My mother is 51 years old and her scan report shows her uterus is bulky, measuring 13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm. There are multiple fibroids in the posterior wall, with the largest one being 4.6 x 4.4 cm. She also has kidney stones and high blood pressure. Does she need surgery for the fibroids given her other health issues?

It's difficult to provide a definitive answer without a full medical evaluation and discussion with her doctor. However, in general, a 51-year-old woman with a bulky uterus (13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm) and multiple fibroids, including one measuring 4.6 x 4.4 cm, may not need surgery for the fibroids if the symptoms are mild and manageable, and if her other health issues (kidney stones and high blood pressure) are well-controlled. However, if she experiences significant symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure, or if the fibroids are causing complications with her other health issues, then surgery, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, might be considered

My vaginal opening is really tight and sex is painful when trying to insert. The doctor mentioned I might need a minor procedure, but I'm wondering if there are other options like medications or non-surgical treatments that could help first
Vaginismus is an involuntary tensing of the vagina. People experience it at the start of sex, while inserting a tampon or while getting a pelvic exam. Vaginismus can make intercourse painful (dyspareunia). Kegels, vaginal dilators and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help relax muscles and stop spasms.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I had protected sex with my boyfriend a couple of days before I was supposed to get my period, which was due on December 5th. It's now December 16th, and I'm late. A few days ago, I had some mild stomach pain and noticed light blood spots. Could this mean I'm pregnant, or is there another reason this might be happening?
