Today I was diagnosed with three uterine fibroids (3 cm each) and a small ovarian cyst. I don’t want to get surgery as it could be dangerous for other organs. Are there any natural ways of shrinking them?

Thank you.




I have recently moved to a new city, and haven’t set things up with a new doctor yet. I’m wondering how many appointments I need to make right away. My birth control prescription is about to run out – do I need to make an appointment with a gynecologist to get this renewed, or can I ask my regular doctor when I go in for a physical?

I’m a male.

I’m a coffee drinker. A while back, I eat some strawberries and then drank some coffee. When I left my house and went somewhere, I started getting intense hot flashes, sweating, and feeling overheated. I kinda felt like a heart attack. I only have these intense hot flashes when I eat strawberries and drink coffee. Could the combination of strawberries and coffee cause hot flashes?




My mom wants me to see a gynecologist for regular check ups and stuff.she wanted me to ask on here (she doesn’t know how this works.lol.) when is the appropriate age.Im currently 13 btw.

Also out of curiousity,do they weigh you there? And what happens at the gynecologist.Like how does the checkup go? :S
Also,will your parent be with you through all of this? or just some of it? and it isn’t ur family physician that is doing this.right?




i have these bad cramps when my menstrual cycle begins.
what are some foods or to eat or avoid or help menstrual cramps ?




It’s usually only noticeable first thing in the morning when I get out of bed.

I’m not on birth control so it’s not breakthrough bleeding.
It’s lasted too long to be ovulation bleeding.

We are trying to conceive, and last had sex Sunday, the day I ovulated. The spotting started Thursday. A home pregnancy test came out negative, but it would be too soon after ovulation to tell anyway.

Could it be pregnancy related and I just need to wait to test later?

My first pregnancy, I experienced spotting on/off.




I asked about Natural Family Planning and the Catholic church once before and got some things clarified for me. Now I’m wondering, since using artificial forms of birth control is denying one half of the true union of marriage, is it okay for a couple to consciously choose to not have children at all, but stick with NFP? It does seem as though you are sort of rejecting a part of the other person when you decide that you don’t want kids with that person. I hope this makes sense.




I recently had partial hysterectomy ( I still have my uterus ) and the hot flashes began soon after.Night sweats very often disturb my sleep,anxiety with no apparent reason and depression.I’m not very good at taking medications and looked into natural remedies.Primrose oil,black cohosh,magnesium etc.However,studies show that there’s no proven effectiveness and there are side effects too,like damaging the liver.I need help!!




I am 18 and have been sexually active for 3 months. My appointment with the gynecologist is in just under a week and I was wondering what to except from my first checkup as I am a little unsure and a little nervous.

Thankyou all so much!

Does the Natural Family Planning Association sell birth control pills?
And if you go to a family planning clinic, you don’t need a prescription for buying birth control pills, right? Just making sure
