If significant changes occur, consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

My TVS report says there's a heteroechoic lesion around 13-15 mm in the fundal region of the uterus, likely a fibroid. It also mentions an enlarged right ovary with a cyst, bulky cervix, and uterine fibroids. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

The best approach to treating fibroids and an ovarian cyst, especially when there's also a bulky cervix, depends on the severity of symptoms and the woman's reproductive goals. While some fibroids and cysts may be managed with medication, surgical intervention might be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic fibroids

I've got a bit of a problem and could use some advice. My boyfriend was really rough with pinching and pulling my right nipple, and now they're super sore. It hurts a lot when I touch them or even when my bra rubs against them. They're also kind of dark reddish-brown and bruised, plus there's this crusty brown stuff on them that seems like it could peel off. It's been 24 hours, and they still hurt a lot. I can't go to the doctor, so I'm really worried. What should I do?

It sounds like your nipples are bruised and irritated from the rough handling. To ease the pain, avoid touching or rubbing the area and wear a soft, breathable bra. Applying a soothing cream like aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer may help, but if the pain persists or worsens, consider seeing a healthcare professional when possible.
