Posted by | 23 Oct, 2024 | | 0 |

Fibroids are growths made up of muscle tissue that develop in the uterus. They affect 1 in 5 women of reproductive age, so they are very common. Fibroids vary significantly in size — from as small as 5 mm to as large as 20 cm — although most do not exceed 4 or 5 cm. Furthermore, they can grow during a woman’s fertile years and usually shrink or disappear after menopause.

Although hardly anyone would openly admit it, all women who have to rely on egg donation want to know as much as possible about their donor. In some European countries, such as Finland, the Netherlands, the UK and, more recently, Portugal, this information is available. In Spain, however, the current law on assisted reproduction stipulates that gamete donation must be completely anonymous and that a medical team must match the patient with the most similar donor from among the available options.
