What are my options to remove fibroids and still keep my uterus? Can it be done through the vagina or is open or laparoscopic surgery the only way? I'm worried about the recovery and which method would be best for me.

I'm really worried because after having the HSG test this morning, my abdomen is in a lot of pain and I've developed a fever. I've also noticed some blood in my underwear. Can you recommend any painkillers that might help with this? I'm not sure if these symptoms are normal after the test.

Mild pain, cramping, and spotting are common after an HSG test. You can manage the discomfort with ibuprofen or paracetamol. If you have a fever, make sure to monitor it closely. If the symptoms worsen or don't improve in a day or two, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation

I'm really concerned about what's going on with my vulva. It feels really itchy and sensitive, and I've noticed I keep getting these cuts or tears where my labia minora attaches. Sometimes they even bleed. The area around my vulva, especially where the hair starts, is really dry and looks white, plus it's super itchy. There's this white layer covering the vulva, and the whole area seems unusually dry. On top of that, there's a foul smell that I can't ignore. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection or a bacterial infection in the vulva area. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using scented products or harsh soaps. If the symptoms persist, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
