Clear, compassionate answers to the questions patients ask Dr. Fehmida Shaikh most often.
Do all fibroids need surgery?
No. Small fibroids that cause no symptoms are usually just monitored with periodic ultrasound.
Are ovarian cysts cancerous?
The vast majority are not. Ultrasound features and, if needed, blood tests help decide whether further evaluation is required.
Is period pain normal?
Mild cramps are common, but pain that stops you from working or studying should be evaluated.
Can I get pregnant with PCOS?
Yes. Many women with PCOS conceive, often with help from ovulation induction.
Is bleeding after menopause serious?
It always needs evaluation, even if it is only spotting.
Can I have a normal pregnancy after an ectopic?
Yes, most women go on to have a normal pregnancy. An early scan is advised next time.
Can blocked tubes be opened?
Depending on where and how the tube is blocked, laparoscopic repair or recanalization may be possible.
Is it my fault?
No. Most miscarriages are due to factors outside anyone's control.
