Yes, there are medications that can help manage fibroid symptoms and even shrink fibroids, without surgery. Some options include GnRH agonists (like Lupron), which can temporarily shrink fibroids and stop bleeding. Other medications, like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs, can help control heavy bleeding. Additionally, hormonal birth control or a progestin-releasing IUD can help regulate periods and reduce heavy bleeding

I recently had an HSG test done before my period, and the results showed that my tubes are blocked. However, some gynecologists told me that this report might not be valid because the test should be done after my period. Could you help me understand when's the right time to have an HSG test and if my results can be trusted?

I've just found out I'm pregnant and recently got a vaginal infection. I'm in my first trimester and wondering if it's safe for me to use Clotrimazole ointment. I'm really worried about the effects it might have during this early stage of pregnancy. Could you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use, or if there's something else I should consider?
