Consider a marketing executive in her mid-30s. At the peak of her career, with plans to start a family, she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. The only known solutions presented to her involved invasive surgeries with long recovery times and a possibility of infertility. But she discovered an alternative: interventional radiology (IR). Less invasive and promising a quicker return to normal life, it provided hope amidst uncertainty. According to Dr Godfrey Chatora, a diagnostic radiologist at Mic Radiology Group in Zimbabwe, who spoke at the recent WHX Cape Town, these radiology applications can revolutionise treatment options for women, allowing them to resume their lives sooner. 1-261192 Mon, 08 Sep 2025 13:54:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Obstetrics & Gynaecology East Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/birth-control-in-africa-study-tracks-the-use-of-long-acting-contraception-in-26-countries-391168a Contraception, or birth control, can take a number of forms including drugs, devices, or surgery to prevent pregnancy.
