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 had a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy on March 12 how long should I wait before being intimate with my husband again?

After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.
