I'm 19 and not married. I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant and I'm wondering if I can have a surgical abortion without needing my parents' permission. Would a doctor be able to help me with this?
In India, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act of 1971 allows for abortion up to 20 weeks, but for minors (below 18), parental consent is required; however, as you're 19, you can legally undergo a surgical abortion at 10 weeks without parental consent; consult a gynecologist

I'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?
Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.
