My mother-in-law has recently been diagnosed with fibroids and a small tumor in her uterus. She has been losing a lot of blood and needed a transfusion. We are waiting for biopsy results. My husband is worried about the worst-case scenario. How long has she had the fibroids, is her condition stable, and what medications is she on? She is 45 years old, lives in Turkey, and has a history of being healthy except for this issue. She has four children and is of normal weight, but she smokes.

I am experiencing heavy bleeding on my first day of my period, along with leg pain, lower back pain, abdominal cramps, fatigue, and overflow. My sanitary pad gets filled within an hour. I also have irregular periods and recently had a varicella vaccination. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have been struggling with BV and yeast infections since 2017. Despite seeing several doctors and trying various treatments, including antibiotics like metronidazole, clindamycin, flagyl, and doxycycline, as well as home remedies such as boric acid suppositories, yogurt, probiotics, apple cider vinegar baths, and wearing cotton underwear, the symptoms persist. My test results for BV and yeast infections always come back negative, yet I have a strong, constant odor that others can detect. I am 20 years old, 5'2" and 135 lbs, with regular periods. What could be causing this persistent odor, and what else can I try?

Can I eat deli meat (chicken, turkey, beef sausage) if they are thoroughly cooked during my pregnancy? I am 36 weeks pregnant and have third-level breast cysts and a fibroid being monitored regularly.

I am bleeding two weeks before my period starts. My last period was from 1/7 to 1/13, and I use birth control pills. I have experienced some stress but no weight change. My pregnancy test was negative, and I have not missed any days for the pill. What could be causing this irregular menstrual cycle?

I got my period on Monday, but it's very different from what it usually is. The bleeding is very light and mostly a brownish discharge. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, and I am not on any medication. What could be causing this?
