I need advice on what to do?
If you are bleeding at 1-2 pads per hour you should immediately go to the emergency department. Otherwise this is definitely worth a visit to your ObGyn. This could be endometriosis, fibroids or an entire host of treatable issues READ MORE
Burning pee after masturbation?
I don’t have a purely scientific answer for this if there are no other variables, or unknown factors. When you orgasm, your pelvic floor muscles spasm to some extent and persistence or continuation of such spasm may play a role. I think the more important question is what are you using and or where are you when you are masturbating. Various creams lotions and or soap can irritate the urethra resulting in burning with urination. READ MORE

Consider that a babies head goes through the vagina during birth. The vagina is quite tough and difficult to damage. I hope this helps READ MORE
Can fibroids recur after a surgery?
The answer is yes. Some studies show that up to 30% of fibroids reoccur after surgery. The best plan is to have the fibroids removed around the time of desired pregnancy. This way if they reoccur, assuming you have had all the children you desire, you can move towards a more definitive treatment without fear of reaccumulation of fibroids or consequences of pregnancy with fibroids.
