A member asked:
I am 41 years old and trying to conceive. i have a small fibroid that is blocking sperm from getting to the egg. can castor oil packs help shrink this fibroid? and when is a safe time to do castor oil packs?

Please don't!: Castor oil cannot shrink a fiborid. Please do not try this, as it will not work and you may harm yourself. It is truly rare for a fibroid to 'block sperm from getting to the egg.' please get help soon from a fertility specialist or a really good obg on this.
