I'm not married and have a fibroid measuring 28mm to 38mm. I was told it can't be cured without surgery but the gynecologist I visited didn't prescribe any medication. What should I do about this situation?

It's understandable to be concerned about fibroids, especially if you're experiencing symptoms or have been told they can't be cured without surgery. While a 28mm to 38mm fibroid is a significant size, it doesn't necessarily mean surgery is the only option. You should seek a second opinion from another gynecologist to explore different treatment approaches, including medication and potentially less invasive surgical options

I recently took the I pill and I'm a bit worried about what to expect. How many days might my period be delayed because of taking it? Also, will this change my menstruation cycle permanently to the new dates? I'm curious and a little concerned about how this could affect my cycle.

it may delay 3 to 6 days...but it will not alter duration of cycles...if your periods are delayed further consult obg specialist to rule out pregnancy
