Once infertile, woman gives birth after surgery

In this Dec. 28, 2012 photo provided by Dr. Kazuhiro Kawamura of the St. Marianna University School of Medicine in Kawasaki, Japan, Kawamura holds a newborn baby whose 30-year-old mother was treated for primary ovarian insufficiency, sometimes called premature menopause, in Tokyo. The mother was one of the five women out of 27 treated who were able to produce usable eggs for in vitro fertilization, Kawamura said. The new technique, described in a report published Monday, Sept. 30, 2013 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, raises the promise of a woman with the condition having a baby with her own eggs.
