View allI've been having waist pain and irregular periods, and my ultrasound showed uterine fibroids. Should I be considering surgery for this or are there other options?
Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.

I'm really concerned because my wife, who's 6 weeks pregnant, had a bad toothache last night and ended up taking Zerodol SP. She's pretty worried now. Is that safe?

I've been struggling with painful sex because my vaginal opening seems too small, and even using lube doesn't help much. My doctor mentioned I might need minor surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any medications or other non-surgical options that could help with this issue
