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?

I've been having this white discharge issue for the past couple of months. I had a two-month pregnancy and went through an abortion using pills. After that, I got a scan and everything seemed fine, but the discharge hasn't stopped. It's frustrating having to wear a pad every day. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

ts possible that the white discharge youre experiencing is a result of the healing process after your abortion, but if youre feeling uncomfortable or worried, its always a good idea to check in with your doctor for reassurance and to rule out any infections.
