Kudos IME 9 capsule is a supplement that can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes.

I've noticed the fat under my left underarm has been increasing and I ignored it at first but now it's making me concerned. I really don't want to go through surgery for this - what can I do to reduce it naturally?
Increased fat under the underarm can be due to localized fat accumulation, poor posture, or hormonal factors. You can try targeted exercises like arm circles, push-ups, and chest presses, along with overall weight loss through a balanced diet and regular cardio. If it persists or grows rapidly, a clinical evaluation is advised to rule out any other causes.

I had laparoscopic ovarian drilling surgery two days ago and my doctor recommended IUI treatment next month. What are the chances of getting pregnant naturally after this procedure or should we stick with IUI for better success?
After laparoscopic ovarian drilling, approximately 40-60% of women become pregnant within a year, with about 50% of those pregnancies being spontaneous. While IUI can increase pregnancy rates, ReproductiveFacts.org states that ovarian drilling is a one-time treatment, while IUI requires monthly interventions. If ovulation and menstrual cycles are still irregular after drilling, or if other fertility issues exist, IUI might be recommended for increased success rates
