I'm really curious about something. I had surgery for a benign pituitary macroadenoma back in 2014, and I've been on cabergoline 0.25mg once a week since then. I just had a baby, but my lactation seems to be completely suppressed. Do you think it might be okay to stop taking the medication for a bit to see if I can start producing milk? Also, how long does the effect of the cabergoline stay in your system if I stop taking it?

It may take one week to one month to restore the normal lactation after stopping the drug

My HSG report shows BL fimbrial blockage and I really want to avoid surgery are there any other ways to clear it naturally or with meds? What are my options for treatment without going under the knife?

If your HSG report shows bilateral (BL) fimbrial blockage, you have a few options for clearing the blockage without surgery. Interventional Radiology ‚Äì Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) is a minimally invasive procedure that can often restore fertility by clearing blockages. Another option is Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which can bypass the need for clear fallopian tubes
