My wife has a 123100mm intramural fibroid and we're exploring non-surgical treatment options. Since we recently got married and want to have kids, I'm worried about complications if surgery is needed some say it could cause scarring and infertility. Is uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) a safe option for us? Would it affect future pregnancies?

MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids that destroys fibroids while preserving the normal uterus. Focused high-frequency, high-energy sound waves are used to target the proteins in fibroids, until they are destroyed.

Is it okay to have sex during the early stages of pregnancy? Could it cause a miscarriage or bring on my period? I'm also curious about whether it's safe if I'm planning to get pregnant soon.

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I've had a cold for the past two months. Is it okay to use Otrivin nasal spray during pregnancy? I'm really concerned and would love to know if it's safe.

Hey, so we had sex early Sunday morning and my girlfriend took an ipill that night. Then we ended up having unprotected sex again on Tuesday. I'm just wondering if the ipill will still work for the second time or does she need to take another pill?

The effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pills like i-pill decreases if taken multiple times in a short period. It is recommended to not rely on i-pill as a regular form of contraception. For the recent unprotected sex on Tuesday, your girlfriend can consider taking another emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72 within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
