Long wave diathermy is a very old modality used in past. Its use has been discarded in USA by FDA as it has wave lenght of 200m and therefore, interference with a electronice devices like even flying aeroplanes. It has been now replaced by the introduction of shorter wave length devices like SWD and Microwave diathermy. Long wave diathermy is not used today.

1) no relation to d & c
2) any couple desirous of pregnancy and not getting the same naturally must meet a gynecologist or infertility specialist accepting the fact that it needs many reports and different trials of treatment. This means the couple must have patience and go to one with whom they have trust to stick for a long time.

Torticollis can go away with proper medication. Surgery, however, is required if the medicine and therapies do not prove to be fruitful. About 10 percent of children require surgery and rest all get recovered through medicines. The operation is typically scheduled once the child reaches preschool years.

No, it is not a permanent situation and it should be treated. Meanwhile, when the condition is left untreated for a long period of time this medical problem could become permanent.

20-30 mins
ideally, it advised using minoxidil after 20-30 mins of dermarollers use. As when you use dermaroller it open ups micropores on your scalp. Sometimes using minoxidil immediately after roller might cause irritation. So if you feel more irritation.
