She was among the speakers at the Sept.2-4 “Fourth Healthplus Middle East Fertility Conference in Dubai.”

According to the pathfertility.com, absolute uterine factor arises from “an abnormality of the uterus (womb), or a complete lack of uterus” which could be congenital or acquired. Reproductive/ Fertility Medicine specialists normally theorise this is the cause, if there were repeated miscarriages.
The“lackmenstruation”isalsoasignandsymptom. Previously interviewed, Hussein’s colleague, Prof. Ahmed Elbohoty who served as the conference chairman, explained the theme, which technically refers to the existence of a void or unanswered problems or challenges with regard to fertility rates and the desire of spouses to have children of their own: “It is a very interesting theme as there is always something more to be discovered or explored in our scientific community; just when you reach a conclusion, you find another area or point of view that is worth investigating. Scientists are always looking to try and fill in the gaps as much as possible. In the field of reproduction, there are a lot of gaps. We try everyday to solve these by conducting new research, undergo experiments, explore new medications, and try new treatments for improve patient outcomes.”
On Monday, Hussein said: “Fertility is a rapidly changing field that witnesses several breakthroughs periodically. A few years ago, it was not possible for patients suffering with absolute uterine factor infertility to conceive a child.
