I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.

I'm getting married soon, but I've got a past where I was pregnant with my ex and had an abortion at three months. I'm really anxious about how to handle this with my husband-to-be, and I want to know if there's a way to restore my virginity. Can you give me some guidance on what options I might have?

I have a 5.5cm intramural fundal fibroid and my doctor recommended open surgery instead of laparoscopic. I'm planning for pregnancy soon should I go ahead with the surgery? What are the possible complications? Would abdominal open surgery be better than laparoscopic in my case?

It's generally recommended to address large fibroids, like yours, before attempting pregnancy, as they can interfere with implantation, growth, and delivery. Open surgery might be considered over laparoscopic for very large or multiple fibroids. Open surgery also carries a higher risk of complications like scarring, blood loss, and adhesions. Ultimately, the decision of whether to proceed with surgery depends on your individual circumstances, including the fibroid's size, location, your overall health, and your fertility goals

Found a cystic structure in my left adnexa and the report says it might be mild hydrosalpinx. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health

Yes, there are options to manage mild hydrosalpinx without surgery. Sclerotherapy, which uses an ultrasound-guided needle to drain fluid and inject a chemical to prevent refill, is a potential alternative. Additionally, watchful waiting with follow-up ultrasounds may be an option if the cyst is small and not causing symptoms. surgical treatment to unblock the tube doesn't restore fertility, in vitro fertilization (IVF) can bypass the need for the fallopian tube.
