I have a 37x15x14 mm oval-shaped T1T2 hypointense submucosal fibroid with polypoidal extension into the endocervical canal. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that could work instead since I want to have another baby and already have a 2-year-old. Should I go ahead with the surgery or try other options first?

surgery is option only.

I'm considering using pills for abortion and I'm worried about whether I'll face any problems in the future because of it. Could you tell me if it's a good or bad idea? Please help me out.

Abortion with pills (medical abortion) is generally safe when done under medical supervision and within the recommended timeframe (usually up to 10 weeks of pregnancy). However, its crucial to consult a doctor to ensure it's appropriate for your health, avoid complications, and receive proper guidance for care afterward.
