Is using Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo or similar products during the delivery process considered standard care, and is it recommended by the ACOG? If so, what are the studies supporting its use, and why might it be used as a lubricant during birth?

I have had fibroids since 2016, underwent a myomectomy in 2017, and they have returned. My last period lasted 18 days, and the fibroids are now larger, causing worse periods and a bulky uterus. I am 37 years old, borderline anemic, and taking iron supplements, trapec for heavy periods, calcium supplements, and four medications per day to control bleeding. I am seeking a second opinion on my options, including hormonal pills, myomectomy, or hysterectomy, and want to know about potential side effects and recovery times.

I am a 39-year-old female with a history of heavy periods since my early 20s, a family history of endometriosis, a retroverted uterus, confirmed fibroids, and no STIs. I have been experiencing pelvic pressure in my lower pelvic area and rectal pressure for over a month. Could this be related to my fibroids or possibly endometriosis?

I'm having a problem with discharge. It started this morning and is constant. The discharge is clear or yellowish with no odor. I had a hysterectomy a year ago. What could be causing this discharge and what can I do about it?

I have a prolactin level of 60 and have been trying to get pregnant for the last few months. Does this mean I won't be able to get pregnant for sure? All other hormones, including thyroid hormone, are fine. I've taken drugs in the past to decrease prolactin, which helped temporarily. What are my options now, and is it possible to decrease prolactin naturally through diet or lifestyle changes?

I'm a 59-year-old female who had a hysterectomy years ago. I woke up with vaginal discharge for the first time, which is clear to light pink/brown with no odor. I'm not sexually active and take Metoprolol, Atorvastatin, and OTC vitamins. What could be causing this discharge?
