My mom is 40 and was just diagnosed with a bulky uterus with multiple fibroids and a right hemorrhagic ovarian cyst that's 3126 mm in her right ovary. We're really worried and confused about whether surgery or medication would be the better treatment option for her. What do you suggest is the best way to handle this?

It's understandable that you're worried about your mom's diagnosis. Since she's 40 and has both fibroids and a large ovarian cyst, the best approach is to have a thorough discussion with her gynecologist. They will need to assess her symptoms, consider her future fertility desires, and determine the best treatment plan for her specific situation

I've noticed my vagina is red and itchy on the outside of the lips, and the skin is peeling off. It's white in some areas. I've been putting powder and Vaseline on it for the past two days, but the itchiness hasnt gone away. What can I do to make it better?

For a red, itchy, and flaky vaginal area, especially on the outer lips, consider using an over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal or anti-itch cream like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and avoid using powders and vaseline as they can exacerbate the issue; also, practice good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and consult a gynecologist if the symptoms persist or worsen.
