My 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

I'm over 10 weeks into an ectopic pregnancy and really worried is surgery my only option at this point? If yes, how long would I need to stay in the hospital after the procedure?
Can't keep ectopic for long. It's risky if you are continuing it for long. Consult your obstetrician at earliest
