I've been experiencing very painful menstrual cramps and my doctor recommended I try Meftal Spas tablets. They've been really helpful in relieving my pain for about 5 to 6 hours, and I've been taking them whenever the pain gets too intense. But now I'm noticing that my periods are getting delayed and the cramps seem to be even more painful. Could these things be side effects of the tablets?

Meftal Spas is a commonly used medication for menstrual pain, but frequent use can sometimes affect the regularity of your periods or increase pain in some cases. It's important to use it cautiously and consult your doctor if you notice changes in your cycle or increased discomfort, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.

I have a large 13 cm fibroid on the posterior wall of my uterus but my periods are normal should I consider surgery or try homeopathic medicine first? I'm worried about the size and not sure what the best option is

For a fibroid of that size (13 cm), surgical intervention is generally recommended. While homeopathic medicine might offer some relief, it's unlikely to shrink a fibroid of this size significantly, and it's essential to rule out other potential causes of your symptoms
