I need to abort my baby at 22 weeks and Im really stressed out about this whole situation. My husband lied to me about his past, he was already married and has a family, and I just found out. I feel I cant handle this alone. Hes been pushing me to abort the baby and his first wife is also putting pressure on me, telling me to leave him and my in-laws. I feel so trapped and overwhelmed and sometimes I think about suicide but I can't go through with it. My parents have passed away and I have no one to turn to. Can you help me figure out what I should do?

I empathize with your distressing situation; however, I must emphasize that abortion laws and regulations vary by country and region. In many places, abortion after 20 weeks of gestation is heavily restricted or prohibited. I strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted healthcare provider, a crisis helpline, or a support organization for guidance and emotional suppor

I'm experiencing an odd itching feeling inside my cervix, especially after I pee. It feels like there's something else that needs to come out, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Could this be a sign of something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and what should I do to get some relief?

The symptoms you're describing, including tickling, itching inside the cervix, and a sensation of incomplete urination, could be indicative of a cervical or urinary tract issue, such as cervical inflammation, vaginitis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI); consider consulting a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.

I had a medical abortion about 45 days ago, and the bleeding had stopped, but now I'm noticing some spotting again. The blood looks kind of brownish and it's thicker than usual. I don't have any pain in my abdomen or fever, but I'm just a bit worried. Is this type of spotting and discharge normal, or should I be concerned?

I have a large 17 cm fibroid in the fundus area of my uterus, coming from the posterior myometrium. It's causing pain on the left side of my abdomen, but no lower abdominal pain. My USG shows my uterus is 9.4 cm. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help with this?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for a large fibroid like yours, though surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) is often considered the most effective long-term solution. If you're looking to avoid surgery, options include medications to manage symptoms or address the fibroid itself
