View allMy mother is 51 years old and her scan report shows her uterus is bulky, measuring 13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm. There are multiple fibroids in the posterior wall, with the largest one being 4.6 x 4.4 cm. She also has kidney stones and high blood pressure. Does she need surgery for the fibroids given her other health issues?
It's difficult to provide a definitive answer without a full medical evaluation and discussion with her doctor. However, in general, a 51-year-old woman with a bulky uterus (13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm) and multiple fibroids, including one measuring 4.6 x 4.4 cm, may not need surgery for the fibroids if the symptoms are mild and manageable, and if her other health issues (kidney stones and high blood pressure) are well-controlled. However, if she experiences significant symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure, or if the fibroids are causing complications with her other health issues, then surgery, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, might be considered

Could you help me understand why my wife might be experiencing less sexual performance? Are there any specific women's sex tablets, like women Viagra, that you could recommend? I'm looking for some better options and would really appreciate your advice on this.
Reduced sexual performance or desire in women can have many causes, including stress, hormonal changes, or relationship factors. A commonly prescribed option is **flibanserin (Addyi)**, sometimes referred to as "female Viagra," which may help increase sexual desire in premenopausal women. It's important to consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and explore safe and effective treatments tailored to individual needs.

My sister is 36 weeks pregnant and just got a Color Doppler done attached the report. Can you check if there are any complications or risks of blood loss during surgery? Would really appreciate your input, especially from Dr. Wadhwa.
It's understandable you're concerned, especially with a Color Doppler scan at 36 weeks. While Color Doppler is a safe and non-invasive procedure, it can reveal potential issues that might require intervention during surgery. The primary concern is not the Color Doppler itself, but rather the findings it reveals, which could impact surgical risks.
