Can medicine help clear a tubal blockage or is surgery like laparoscopy the only option? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice on what might work best for my situation

There are no specific medications to treat fallopian tube blockages directly. However, if the blockage is caused by an infection, antibiotics or other treatments may be prescribed to address the underlying cause. Medication may also be used alongside surgical or assisted reproductive treatments.

My 40-year-old mom has three kids and was diagnosed with fibroids. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about right now, but we're still concerned. Can fibroids shrink with medication, or is surgery the only option? We'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Fibroids may shrink with medication, but if they cause significant symptoms or complications, surgery may become necessary. A second opinion from a gynecologist could help clarify the best course of action.
