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 had a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration and my doctor prescribed freedase 30 for 21 days starting the day after surgery but I'm not sure why I need to take these tablets can you explain the reason for this medication after my procedure

Freedase 30, a combined hormonal contraceptive, is prescribed after a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration to help regulate menstrual cycles, potentially reduce heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), and manage acne. It may also help prevent pregnancy, although this is not the primary reason for the prescription in this case

I'm dealing with a bulky uterine fibroid and really want to avoid surgery since I'm single. Can you help me understand the root cause and explore non-surgical treatment options? What could be triggering this and are there natural ways to manage it?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.
