KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Siti Elizad Mohamad Sharifuddin hopes to begin the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment this year.
The 36-year-old artiste who had undergone two cyst operations in 2015 and 2018 respectively, said that the procedures had left her with only an ovary.
“I really hope I’ll be able to conceive via IVF this year and hopefully my prayers will be answered,” she said in a recent episode of Curhat, a TV show aired on Astro Prima.
Siti Elizad said since there had been a history of cancer in her family, she was always alarmed each time she experienced pain in the cervical area.
“I have an active cyst, and before the doctors remove the only remaining ovary, I plan to begin the IVF treatment soon,” she said, adding that she said would be very grateful even if blessed with only a child.
Siti Elizad tied the knot with Shamsul Baharin Rahman five years ago. He however already has two children from his previous marriage.
