I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

A friend suggested that I try HERBALIFE NUTRITION FOOD, which are these meal replacement shakes for breakfast. I'm curious if this product is really trustworthy and if there might be any side effects I should know about. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to start using this product?

My wife has an 18x17 mm submucous fibroid in the fundus region of her uterus, and it's indenting the endometrium. She's had four miscarriages in a row, all with bleeding between 6 to 12 weeks. Could this fibroid be causing the miscarriages? Would she need surgery to remove it?
A submucous fibroid can cause miscarriages and surgery like hysteroscopic myomectomy may be needed to improve pregnancy chances.
