Women’s health: how can it be improved?

Posted by | 28 May, 2024 | | 0 |

Although Spain has a longer life expectancy than other countries, the health of Spanish women is below the EU average in several respects. According to the Global Women’s Health Index (GWHI), which assesses global health through international surveys, the number of Spanish women who report having some physical or health problem has increased since 2020. To better understand this, we need to distinguish between life expectancy and healthy life years.

If you have a scheduled egg retrieval, you are probably a little nervous. Rest assured, it is a straightforward procedure.  It involves aspirating the eggs or oocytes from your ovarian follicles through an ultrasound-guided vaginal puncture, which means the doctor will be able to see the whole process on a screen. Besides, it usually takes no more than 20 or 30 minutes and is performed under sedation (mild anaesthesia). However, the wait can sometimes feel long, and you may wonder if it will hurt afterwards, what kind of rest is required after the procedure, or when you can have...

How many attempts does it take to get pregnant?

Posted by | 12 Feb, 2024 | | 0 |

All patients are concerned about the duration of fertility treatments, because the longer they take, the greater the physical and emotional strain, and the higher the cost.
