Avascular necrosis of hip following combined protein C and protein S deficiency.

The answers are a definite YES to (i, ii and iii) and a very clear NO to (iv). Regarding (v), for decades our obstetrician colleagues have been advising, that on which days and how frequently coitus is to be done, in the management of anovulatory infertility, with drugs like clomiphene. Moreover some sort of mental and physical relaxation/drugs before the act are also prescribed, with an advice to remain lying down relaxed for sometime after the act with pelvis lifted up. If that is okay, and has been accepted as a beneficial and essential healthy practice by society at large, we feel that objections to this new method, (when taken with an appropriate and healthy thinking, which one should) are unfounded. It can be advised freely, of course, only whenever necessary.
