My sister-in-law is 38 with three kids and has been having lower abdominal pain for the past year. She just found out she has fibroids in her uterus and might need surgery to remove her uterus. Are there any medications that can shrink the fibroids so she can avoid surgery?

Yes, there are medications that can potentially shrink fibroids and may help avoid hysterectomy, but it's crucial for her to discuss all options with her doctor. Medications like gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHAs) can reduce fibroid size and potentially make surgery less invasive.

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

I'm really worried because I used the mankind unwanted kit for abortion on the 26th of March and started bleeding the next day. It's been 9 days now, and I'm still experiencing a lot of bleeding and quite a bit of pain. The kit mentioned that bleeding could last anywhere from 9 to 16 days, so I'm uncertain if I should just wait it out or if I should consult a gynecologist right away. Is this normal, or should I be concerned and get it checked? What would be the best course of action here?
Visit Gynaecologist immediately that could be incomplete abortion where few products of conception might be there ,get yourself checked and treated
