What is the treatment for an enlarged uterus?
Treatment may depend on your age and fertility status and any problems you maybe having. It may contain fibroids, which are usually benign growths, but could be something more serious. Treatment may range from wait, observe, and repeat testing to a recommended surgical procedures for biopsy or removal. You and your doctor should discuss the options with the pros and cons of each. Rob Muller READ MORE
Do fibroids grow back after surgery?
They usually do not if they are completely excused at that location. They can, however, firm in a different location in the future. Rob Muller READ MORE
What could be the reason behind repeated ectopic pregnancies?
Ectopic pregnancy usually is the result from damaged fallopian tubes from scarring. This can be from undiagnosed infections earlier in life or from past ectopics that have left residual scarring, causing recurrence. Rob Muller READ MORE
Can a green color on a sanitary pad indicate infection?
Sometimes a greenish discharge is indicative of a vaginal infection with a unique organism called Trichomonas which also can cause intense itching -- but not necessarily so and is sometimes asymptomatic. Do not attempt to use any OTC treatments until it is properly cultured by your doctor so he/she can make a correct diagnosis. READ MORE
Why does my vagina feel so dry?
This is dependent upon your age. Maybe perimenopausal? Could be related to new medication which can dry your mucus membranes, i.e., antihistamines. Could be related to clothing, heat, environment, etc. Try something like the OTC product Replens 2-3 times a week and see your doctor if not improved in two weeks. Rob Muller READ MORE
Does metformin increase my chances of getting pregnant?
It will help reduce your insulin resistance and help if you have polycyclic ovary syndrome, which can enhance your fertility potential. Rob Muller READ MORE

That may be related by whatever you used that may have weakened the muscles of the vagina, weakening the bladder support. See your doctor for an exam. May be corrected by doing Kegel exercises. Rob Muller READ MORE

What are ways to deal with menopause?
Menopause is usually not that intrusive on women's health, but there again everyone handles things differently. First, she should have a thorough hands-on physical exam by her doctor with all the appropriate lab work, including a complete hormone study of estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, etc. Make sure she sees someone that has an interest in menopausal management and not just a casual "everything must be ok" attitude. She may need various treatment modalities, from thyroid replacement to female hormones to electrolyte replacement, along with any other physiological abnormalities that may be found abnormal upon completion of her evaluation. There is no simple over-the-counter for menopause. READ MORE
