Experiencing fertility problems can be a distressing and stressful experience for any couple. The last thing you need is to comb through sketchy blogs and figure out what is fact or fiction. That is why together with Dr Lim Min Yu, an accredited IVF clinician from Astra Women’s & Fertility Specialists, we have compiled some of the most common myths about female and male fertility.

According to a study done by the Singapore National University Hospital, it is estimated that at least 5% of ladies aged 15-65, suffer from urinary tract infections (UTIs) at least once in their life.

The Internet has a wealth of information available for almost any topic, including fertility. However this also means there is a ton of information to sift through. Couples who are struggling to conceive might be easily misled by some of the false information available.

How would you respond if your doctor made a diagnosis of cancer but told you that he wanted to let it be and did not intend to do anything about it.

Lung Cancer is 1 of the top 3 common cancers in Singapore and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Singaporeans. Don’t let the symptoms of lung cancer slip under your radar!

Let’s face it- Dealing with a Dental Emergency is probably one of the worst things to have right about now (or in any situation actually). Living with and navigating around the effects of COVID-19 has brought about inconveniences and much anxiety.

Not only are fertility rates on the decline in Singapore, but couples are also choosing to get married and have children later in life. Age is an important factor affecting fertility and while you cannot stop the ageing process, there are ways to preserve fertility.

The Internet has a wealth of information available for almost any topic, including fertility. But this also means there is a ton of information to sift through.
