View allMy aunty has been diagnosed with adenomyosis and an umbilical hernia. Can you check her report and advise if she needs surgery or if injections and tablets would be enough to help her condition?
It's impossible to give a definitive answer about whether your aunt needs surgery without reviewing her specific medical reports and having a consultation with a doctor. However, I can provide general information about adenomyosis and umbilical hernias, which may help her understand the decision-making process.

I took the first Mifepristone tablet from a Mefigest kit but ended up vomiting about 3 to 3.15 hours later. Do I need to take another dose of Mifepristone, or should I purchase a new Mefigest kit?

My wife is about 5.5 weeks pregnant and we had an ultrasound done. The doctor gave us an MTP Kit but we can't remember how were supposed to take it. With all the stuff happening because of COVID, we're really trying to avoid another visit to the hospital. Can you explain the steps for taking the MTP Kit?
Tablet mifepristone 200 mcg on day - 1 followed by tablet misoprostol 200 mcg on day-3 (after 48 hrs) 2 tablets followed by a 4 hour gap and then 2 tablets. All take orally.
