I've got a 12cm fibroid in my uterus, and Im really worried about having to go through surgery. Are there any medicines or other treatments out there that could help shrink it instead?

Our patient was told to take chymoral forte three times a day after her ovarian removal surgery. Now she's feeling really nauseous and dizzy when she tries to get out of bed. Do you think it's okay if we stop the medication for a day to see if these are side effects?

Chymoral is not that essential drug so yes u can stop it for a day. Majority of the drugs have nausea vomiting as their side effects which manifest in different people variably.

My wife gave birth to our baby last week, and now she's running a fever. Can she take Combelfam Solo 650 for it? It's just for first aid until we can see the doctor. Let me know if that's okay just for a regular fever.

Yes. Paracetamol is safe during pregnancy and Lactation so it can be consumed. Combiflam contains ibuprofen along with Paracetamol which may lead to bleeding so better to avoid

Had abdominal myomectomy surgery for uterine fibroids and endometriosis cysts 30 days ago but still having incision pain. Is it normal to feel this much discomfort after a month? Can I start doing household chores like sweeping or sitting for long periods? My in-laws are orthodox so follow-up visits are tough

It's not uncommon to experience some incision pain for a month after an abdominal myomectomy, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it's important to contact your doctor
