It’s not very likely that you have missed all the times when people say ‘some penises can shift wombs’. While this statement is a funny one, it is untrue. The womb is also known as the uterus. Now, it’s even farther than the cervix, which is impenetrable by a penis.. No, cervical…
No, they are not the teeth that every wise human has. If they were, it wouldn’t make much sense to remove them. Rather, the wisdom teeth are the teeth that always come last after every other one has grown. They usually appear between the ages 17-25 in people that develop them. …

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is increasingly becoming a go-to option for couples having problems with fertility in Nigeria. This is true despite the expensive and rigorous nature of the procedure. In this article, we will discuss the success rate of IVF in Nigeria and the factors that contribute to this. To start with, we should…
Not usually. It’s easy to assume that the benign growths in the uterus will prevent a pregnancy from happening. This is quite possible. However, it is not the case more often than not.
