Question 1

I've been diagnosed with a 2.2x1.5cm posterior wall intramural fibroid and my endometrial thickness is 5mm. Do I need surgery for this? Could it affect my chances of getting pregnant? Are there any medications that can completely treat it?

Accepted Answer

Intramural fibroids may affect fertility but surgery is usually only needed if they cause symptoms or failed conception; medicines like GnRH analogs may help shrink them.

Question 2

I'm wondering about the safety of using an expired lubricating gel like Lubic Jelly with my wife. It expired back in December 2018, and we don't have sex very often. Is it still okay to use it, or should we be concerned about any potential risks?

Accepted Answer

Using expired lubricating gel is not recommended, as it may lose its effectiveness and could potentially cause irritation or infections. For both your safety, it's best to discard the expired product and replace it with a new one.

Question 3

I have a 2 mm uterine fibroid and experiencing spotting between periods with irregular cycles. I'm trying to conceive are there any medications to treat fibroids without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are medications that can help manage fibroid symptoms and even shrink fibroids, without surgery. Some options include GnRH agonists (like Lupron), which can temporarily shrink fibroids and stop bleeding. Other medications, like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs, can help control heavy bleeding. Additionally, hormonal birth control or a progestin-releasing IUD can help regulate periods and reduce heavy bleeding

I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?

Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin
