Prof proves 100-year-old medical test cures infertility after mum tells him: 'That's how you were born!'
'When the mother of Professor Ben Mol told him that a 100-year-old medical technique had cured her infertility, leading to his birth, the scientist was naturally curious. '
'Since 1917 doctors have performed a technique in which they inject a special dye into women’s tubes which can be picked up on X-rays, to help diagnose fertility problems. '
'But although the procedure is supposed to be entirely diagnostic, over the past century, many women have claimed it actually helped them become pregnant. '
'Now Professor Mol, of the University of Adelaide, has shown that it is probably true, in a study which could help tens of thousands of women avoid the need for IVF. '
