 [ Symptoms ] i have a patient of mine has pitting oedema difficult diagnosis any help would be appreciated [ Disease ] maybe so but not likely if any pregnancy occurs it is very possible that it is caught in the tubes in which case would cause a surgical procedure to occur if this were to happen it is dangerous to the mother anyway there have been cases where women in their 50 is give childbirth but it is one thing to give life and another to nurture it
