The effects of PCOS on fertility
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic hormonal disorder that is caused by the ovaries having an imbalance in hormone production. It is not an incredibly rare condition, as it is estimated that 13% of people of reproductive age have it, with a further estimated 70% of them remaining undiagnosed. It cannot be permanently cured, and those who have PCOS may face difficulties with their fertility, but it can be managed and pregnancy is still possible.

Beyond ultrasound: how 3D imaging enhances pregnancy monitoring

While exciting to see, the image leaves much to the imagination. But new innovations in ultrasound technology means that pregnancy sonograms have become more graphic, comprehensive, and in colour! Instead of seeing the baby from the side cross-section, 3D ultrasounds enable expectant parents to see their baby’s face before they’re ever born, making them all the more excited to meet their baby.
