My wife started her period today, and she noticed a piece of white flesh, about the size of a finger, soaked in blood. It's the second time this has happened. We're really concerned and would like to know what this might be and if there's any reason to worry. Could you please give us some insight into what it is and why it's happening?

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.

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.

I'm still a virgin and I'm really curious about what to expect the first time I have intercourse. Does it hurt a lot and is bleeding normal? If it does bleed, how long should I expect that to last? Also, I've noticed I can insert a finger into my vaginadoes that mean I don't have a hymen anymore? I'd love some clarity on all this.

First-time intercourse can be painful and may cause bleeding due to hymenal tearing, but this varies from person to person; bleeding, if it occurs, usually lasts a few hours to a few days; being able to insert a single finger into the vagina doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a hymen, as hymens come in different shapes and sizes, and some may be more elastic or flexible.
