I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.

I've been diagnosed with a cornual block in my right Fallopian tube and I'm really worried about it. What are my treatment options if I want to avoid surgery? Are there any medications or non-surgical procedures that could help clear the blockage?

For a cornual block in a right fallopian tube, non-surgical options like tubal cannulation, hysteroscopic surgery, and fertility treatments like IVF can be explored to avoid surgery. Tubal cannulation involves threading a catheter into the blocked tube to clear it, while hysteroscopic surgery uses a thin, lighted device inserted through the cervix to access and potentially remove the blockage. If surgical intervention is not possible or successful, fertility treatments like IVF can bypass the blocked tubes
