A 65 mm fibroid can be considered large and may cause symptoms or complications, but it's not always necessary to have surgery. There are other treatment options like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) or medication to shrink fibroids. It's crucial to discuss all options with a gynecologist or interventional radiologist to determine the best course of action for your mom.

I have an 8cm ovarian cyst and really want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can shrink or remove it? I'm worried about the size and hoping for non-surgical options.

While some ovarian cysts naturally resolve without treatment, an 8cm cyst might require medical intervention. There isn't a specific medication to shrink or remove an existing ovarian cyst. However, certain medications can help manage symptoms and potentially prevent new cysts from forming. If the cyst is causing pain, discomfort, or other issues, or if it's not a functional cyst, surgery (laparoscopy or open surgery) may be recommended

Does follicular study show blocked fallopian tubes?

A follicular study can not determine whether the fallopian tube is blocked. If the fallopian tube is blocked, you will still ovulate. Ovulation is mainly the function of ovary.
