What are the signs of fibroids shrinking?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Acute stabbing pain and swelling in the abdomen. The pain and swelling are caused by the release of chemicals from the fibroids as the cells die. Fever is another sign of fibroid shrinking.

View allI'm 30 weeks pregnant and my doctor has prescribed me albendazole, but I'm a bit worried because the tablet says not to take it during pregnancy. Is it really safe for me to use it while pregnant?
Fever and stomach pain may indicate a gastrointestinal infection. - Loud farts and subsequent watery diarrhea without stool suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning. - The sudden change from farts to watery diarrhea may indicate a bacterial or viral infection. _Recommendations_ 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or oral rehydration solutions. 2. _Bland diet_: Continue with a bland diet, like khichdi, rice, and bananas. 3. _Rest_: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 4. _Medical attention_: If your symptoms worsen, or you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or bloody stools, seek medical attention.

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.

Can you have PCOS but still have regular periods? My ultrasound just mentioned I have bilateral polycystic ovaries, not PCOS or PCOD. What does that mean?
Bilateral polycystic ovaries, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal condition that affects the ovaries. It occurs when the ovaries produce too many androgens, which are hormones that prevent follicles from maturing and releasing eggs. This results in the ovaries becoming enlarged and containing many small cysts. PCOS is a common condition that affects women of reproductive age. Symptoms include: Irregular or missed periods Excess hair growth Acne Weight gain Darkening of the skin Skin tags Thinning hair
