My aunt is 49 and has a bulky uterus measuring 17138 cm with multiple fibroids, the largest being 70mm. She's on medications but doesn't have excessive bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. How serious is this does she need surgery or can she keep managing with meds until menopause?

A 70mm fibroid in a bulky uterus (17138 cm, which seems to be a typo and is likely a measurement in a different unit, perhaps 171.38 cm) in a 49-year-old woman can be managed with medication if there are no symptoms or significant complications, especially as she approaches menopause. Surgery may be considered if symptoms worsen, if the fibroid grows rapidly, or if it causes complications like infertility or pelvic organ compression

Question

I'm feeling really stressed out because I've been trying to have a baby for over a year now, and even though we're having intercourse almost every day, we haven't been successful. My husband's sperm test showed a count of 20 milml, and he's taking Addzoa supplements every afternoon. I'm confused about how much time we should wait between intercourse acts, especially during the middle of my cycle when I'm most fertile. I've had all my medical tests done, and everything looks fine, although I used to have irregular periods. I'm taking supplements for that, and they're regular now. Can you give me some guidance on how to increase my chances of conceiving? I'm really losing confidence.

Question

I'm Aysha, and I'm 24 years old. I've got a really bad case of cold and cough, and I'm also 8 months pregnant. I'm thinking about taking Pankajakasthuri granules for it, but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe for me to use this while I'm pregnant?
