Risiko ikat peranakan

KEADAAN mengikat peranakan (dari kiri) dilecuhkan, ikat, potong dan klip. Peluang wanita hamil semula amat tipis biarpun jalani prosedur buka semula salur fallopian dan IVF APAKAH pilihan yang ada sekiranya selepas mengikat salur peranakan secara Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL), anda mengubah fikiran untuk hamil semula? Pertama melakukan prosedur Reversal of Tubal Ligation (RTL) iaitu membuka semula tiub fallopian yang diikat atau teknik Permanian Berhadas yang lebih dikenali sebagai In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Is depression curable?

  Having depression can be tough. It’s easy to feel hopeless and wonder if you’ll feel this way forever . Wouldn’t it be great if it could just… go away?
