I noticed my girlfriend is taking Endogest 200 tablets and recently, she's been having irregular periods, sometimes being delayed by as much as 56 days. I'm a bit worried and not sure why she's on this medication. Is there a specific issue that these tablets address? We're planning to get married in a few months, so I'm also wondering if this could affect her chances of getting pregnant. Can you provide some insight into this?

I'm 31 and have multiple fibroids with the largest being 8cm. My doctor is recommending surgery but I really want to avoid it. Are there any effective Ayurvedic or Siddha treatments in Chennai that can help dissolve uterine fibroids naturally?

While Ayurvedic and Siddha medicines may offer symptom relief and potentially help with shrinking fibroids, they are unlikely to completely dissolve large fibroids like the one you have (8cm). For such cases, surgical options like myomectomy or hysterectomy are often necessary. However, some Ayurvedic and Siddha treatments might help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the size of smaller fibroids
