Both my fallopian tubes are blocked and I'm really confused about what to do next. Should I consider getting endoscopy surgery to clear the blockages or would it be better to go straight for IVF? I'm worried about the success rates and recovery time for each option.

With bilateral fallopian tube blockages, both endoscopic surgery and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) are options, but IVF is often the more direct path to pregnancy. Endoscopic surgery, like tubal recanalization or salpingectomy, might be considered if there's a chance to repair the tubes, but success rates can vary depending on the cause and severity of the blockage. IVF bypasses the tubes entirely, making it a more reliable option for some, but it also has its own success rates and recovery time to consider.

I'm 17 years old and my height is 5'6". I've heard about growth hormones like HGH, and I'm curiouswhat kind would be appropriate for someone like me? How does it work, and would it really help me get taller? I'm a bit worried about not growing any more at my age. Any advice on this would be great.

As a 17-year-old, your growth plates are still open, and you may naturally grow taller; to support growth, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins D and K, regular exercise like stretching and strength training, and adequate sleep; regarding HGH, it's essential to consult an endocrinologist , as HGH supplements are not recommended for non-medical use, and prescription HGH therapy is only approved for growth hormone deficiency or specific medical conditions.
