Hysterosonogram

Women who have been experiencing problems trying to conceive, infertility, abnormal bleeding or multiple miscarriages will most likely be sent to have a hysterosonogram. Because this diagnostic test can provide such detailed images of the uterus, endometrial lining and ovaries, it is most often used to identify if a woman has: Fibroids Polyps Scar Tissue Uterine Adhesions Uterine defects Additionally, a hysterosonogram can help determine the size, shape and exact location of any uterine abnormality, like polyps or fibroids.

It was not summer, yet, I longed for a white-sand beach, with wide area for walking and a clear beach for swimming... And what do you know! I heard about Gumasa... Some call it Mindanao's Boracay...

Or if not, just take a tricycle from the terminal to KCC mall, costs only Php 7 each. Well, at KCC mall, we looked for the van terminal for Glan. Glan is an hour away from GenSan and co

Weddings...

Planning a wedding? My friend Yang is planning her wedding... She's getting married this year. I remember how events like this is such an exciting, overwhelming and God knows, tiring...

But thanks to my friend Evelyn, she took care of the CeNoMar... then we (me & don) took care of the rest... Fashion T
