Myth
IVF-conceived babies are not normal or healthy.
Many believe that "test-tube babies" suffer from developmental issues, birth defects, or are weak compared to naturally conceived infants.

Myth
Spine surgery is highly dangerous and always causes paralysis.
People often suffer from debilitating back pain for years, fearing that undergoing a surgical procedure will permanently bind them to a wheelchair.
REVEAL FACT
Fact
Modern spine surgery is highly safe and precise.
With high-resolution navigation systems, microscopic operating tools, and minimally invasive (keyhole) procedures, spine surgeries have a success rate of over 95% today, with patients walking the next morning.

Myth
Dialysis is a permanent treatment and cures kidney disease.
Patients assume that dialysis is a cure for failing kidneys and once started, they must remain on it forever, with no options for recovery.
REVEAL FACT
Fact
Dialysis sustains life; transplant is the permanent option.
Dialysis filters metabolic waste when kidneys cannot function. It sustains health but is not a biological cure. Many patients with acute renal injuries recover and stop dialysis. For chronic failure, kidney transplant is the cure.

Myth
A woman cannot have a normal delivery after a C-section.
The phrase "once a cesarean, always a cesarean" is widely accepted, leading women to believe they must go through major surgery for all future births.
REVEAL FACT
Fact
VBAC is highly successful under expert care.
Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) is a safe and medically approved option for many women. Success rates are between 60-80% under proper obstetric monitoring, provided there are no contraindications.

Myth
Eye drops and diet can cure or reverse cataracts.
Many believe that regular usage of herbal eye drops, exercises, or dietary supplements can dissolve the cloudy lens of a cataract.
REVEAL FACT
Fact
Surgery is the only clinical cure for cataracts.
A cataract is a physical clouding of the eye's natural lens proteins. No drop or medication can reverse this changes. Phacoemulsification surgery with a custom Intraocular Lens (IOL) implant is the only proven cure.
TAP TO RESET
Myth
IVF is only successful for young couples.
Couples over 35 often assume that assisted reproduction techniques will not work for them, causing them to delay consulting a fertility specialist.
REVEAL FACT
Fact
IVF helps couples across different age groups.
While age influences fertility, advanced labs, ICSI, and donor programs enable successful pregnancies for couples in their late 30s and 40s. Consultation with an embryologist can clarify individual options.
