My mother has been dealing with recurring bleeding for the past 5 years, and it keeps happening every year. Each time, medications like Pause MF or Sevista stop the bleeding, but now the doctor prescribed Pause MF and Deviry 10mg. The doctor is suggesting open surgery to remove her uterus instead of laparoscopy. I've attached the reports what would you recommend in this situation? Is open surgery the only option or could laparoscopy still be considered?

It's understandable to be concerned about your mother's recurring bleeding and the potential for surgery. While an open hysterectomy (removing the uterus) is a definitive solution, laparoscopy (a minimally invasive procedure) should also be considered. If the underlying cause of the bleeding is not completely resolved, open surgery might be necessary, but it's crucial to explore other options first, especially if your mother isn't yet ready for menopause.

I'm a bit worried about a possible pregnancy risk. We were involved in fingering and jerking off, and I made sure to wear a condom the whole time, and also changed it during the act. Is there any chance sperm could've transferred from my fingers when I rubbed her vagina, even though I didn't insert them? She took an i-pill just to be safe, but I'm still anxious. What are the chances of pregnancy in this situation?

no the chances s are less
