This is a cervical fibroid I removed from a 28 year old woman in India just before I shifted to Dubai last year. She came with sudden inability to pass urine and had no symptoms/ no idea that she had such a large tumor in her uterus.
So, what are fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are the most common non cancerous tumors in women of reproductive age. They can be single or multiple, small or large. In 1 out of 3 women, they cause symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding in between periods, pain during periods,frequent urge to urinate , pain during s*x and a feeling of pressure over the pelvis.
If you have these symptoms please contact your doctor for a scan.
Or they may be diagnosed incidently during a routine gynaec check up. For women who have symptomatic fibroids, there are medical treatments as well as surgical ones. Removal of fibroids (MYOMECTOMY) , removal of the uterus ( HYSTERECTOMY) or destruction of the fibroid without removal ( Uterine Artery Embolisation or MRI guided laser ablation) are just some of the options. Talk to your doctor to find out what is best suitable for you.

PCOS or polycystic ovarian disease is a very common condition in today's world. Prevalence is 5-18% in reproductive age women. 1 in 6 teenage girls are diagnosed with PCO.
Common presentation is with irregular menstrual cycles ( usually delayed), signs of excess androgens ( male hormone) like acne , excess facial and body hair, baldness and bulky or polycystic ovaries.
Women with PCOD, if untreated are at increased risk for infertility, obesity, metabolic syndrome, depression , sleep apnea, diabetes, fatty liver. During pregnancy, they may suffer from miscarriages, GDM and preterm labor.
PCOD may run in families
Lifestyle modification is the mainstay of management. Lose weight if you are overweight. Eat healthy. Exercise more.
If you want to conceive, losing 5% of your body weight may be enough to start ovulating and to conceive.
Bith control pills are the first line of treatment for women who donot want to conceive.
PCOD presents with a wide variety of symptoms and treatment needs to be tailored according to these.

Women and their risk for UTI

Did you know that adult women are the group with highest risk of UTI or urinary tract infection, specially Acute Cystitis ( Bladder infection).1 in 5 adult women will experience UTI at least once in their lifetime. This is mainly because of the shorter length of the female urethra and also because of the changes in her body at different times of her life. Hence, pregnancy and menopause are both periods of high risk for UTI in a woman’s life. Increased rates of UTI are also seen with s*x ( so called honeymoon cystitis), because of proximity of the urethral opening to the va**na.
Common symptoms of acute cystitis are dysuria, frequency, urgency,feeling of bladder fullness, suprapubic pain and tenderness.

We will talk about prevention / decreasing the risk of recurrent cystitis in a later post
