My sister was diagnosed with a fibroid in her uterus, and I've attached her reports for reference. What should our next steps be? Can it be treated with just medication, or is laparoscopy necessary? If surgery is needed, is it safe, and will the fibroids come back later? Would she need to have her uterus removed? I'd really appreciate your advice on the best course of action.

She can opt for Laparoscopic / Open myomectomy. Where only Fibroid will e removed. Her age is just 39yrs, so no need to remove uterus. As removal of uterus will give her Surgical manopause. Only thing, recurrence can not be predicted

Im really worried about having an abortion and need some advice. It's my first pregnancy, and I'm considering it in the very early stages, around the 34th week. Is it safe to do so at this point? And if it is, what's the best way to go about it? I just want to make sure I'm making the right choices for my health.

Medical abortion is considered safe and effective up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, and for 3-4 weeks, it's typically done using pills like mifepristone and misoprostol; however, it's crucial to consult a gynecologist for guidance, prescription, and follow-up care to ensure a safe and successful abortion.
