I'm trying to figure out what's best for my dad who's been dealing with Type 2 diabetes for about 20 years now. We found these ayurvedic tablets, IME9 and BGR34, made by Indian Labs, and are wondering which one might be better. My dad's on insulin and had bypass surgery 8 years ago. Any advice on whether either of these tablets could be helpful?

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
