My right ovary is bulky measuring 4.5x2.8x1.7 cm with a small functional cyst and the right tube is edematous with mild fluid around it but the left ovary is normal. Should I consider surgery or would medication be better for this?

It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, but generally, surgery for ovarian cysts and related issues is not always the first choice, especially when the cyst is small and functional. Medication or a wait-and-see approach might be recommended first

I'm a bit worried because my period is late by 4 days this month, even though they've been regular before. Last month, my period started on September 2nd, but I had dengue then and maybe because of the fever or weakness, my flow was really low. Do you think there's something wrong or should I be concerned? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

It's not uncommon for your menstrual cycle to be slightly delayed after an illness like dengue, as it can affect your hormones and overall health. If the delay is only a few days and there are no other concerning symptoms, it should be okay, but if the delay continues or you experience unusual symptoms, it might be worth consulting your doctor for reassurance.

My mom is 50 and has a 20 cm fibroid in her uterus. What's the best way to treat this without surgery? Is there a non-surgical cure or any natural remedies that could help shrink it?

if she has excessive bleeding during her periods or if she has severe abdominal pain, surgery will be the better option.
