Experts urge Nigerians to embrace modern reproductive healthcare

-

Medical experts have called on Nigerians to stay informed about modern fertility preservation methods and treatment options for conditions like uterine fibroids.

They made the appeal on Thursday in Abuja during the inaugural Reproductive Health Week, organised by Nordica Fertility Centre in collaboration with the Secretariat of Health and Human Services of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

Dr Abayomi Ajayi, Chief Executive Officer of Nordica Fertility Centre and the Fibroid-Care Centre, emphasised that women suffering from uterine fibroids and adenomyosis now have non-invasive treatment alternatives, such as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), instead of surgery.

He also underscored the importance of fertility preservation in managing cancers among women and girls, urging healthcare providers to consider it when treating patients.

According to him, the Health and Human Services Secretariat of the FCTA has partnered with Nordica Fertility Centre to enhance access to quality reproductive healthcare services for residents.

Dr Adedolapo Fasawe, Mandate Secretary of Health and Environment Services, FCTA, highlighted recent advancements in fibroid treatment that eliminate the complications and blood transfusions often associated with surgery.

'There are now safer, quicker, and easier procedures that will save women's lives,' she stated.

She further noted that cancer treatment no longer means infertility, saying: 'It is possible to undergo cancer treatment and still have children. That is great news. Cancer is not a death sentence, nor is it a ticket to barrenness anymore.'

Speaking on 'Fertility Preservation in Cancer Treatment,' Dr Ifeoluwa Oyetunji, a consultant gynaecologist and fertility expert at Nordica Fertility Centre, explained that fertility preservation involves saving eggs, sperm, or reproductive tissue for future use.

Dr Oyetunji added that success rates in fertility preservation have significantly improved over the years, making it a viable option for many cancer patients.

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
