Question 1

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?

If there are any concerns or complications, it is best to abstain from sex and consult with your healthcare provider.

I'm really concerned because my breasts are quite small, and I'm dealing with some discharge and itching issues. It's making me really sad, and I'm wondering what I can do about it. Could these symptoms mean something serious, or is there a way to address both problems?
