Individualised Controlled Ovarian Stimulation

The process in which the egg is prepared for fertilisation in a woman’s ovaries and is released into the fallopian tubes to meet with the potential sperm for fertilisation, is called ovulation. When this process is stimulated by inducing ovarian follicular development and maturation of the egg using medications, it is called ovarian stimulation. Ovarian stimulation is a standard procedure used for successful outcomes in assisted reproductive techniques like IVF, ICSI, IUI etc. as this procedure not only prepares the egg but also prepares a woman’s uterus for embryo implantation. Some of the major advantages of ovarian stimulation are:

•     Helps induce ovulation in anovulatory women (a woman who does not have periods)
•     Induces the maturation of numerous ovarian follicles simultaneously
•     Helps to predict of the timing of egg maturation
•     Enables collection of numerous mature eggs in each cycle

The conventional controlled ovarian stimulation is a one size fit all approach, which may not benefit all patients. At Srishti, we have adopted Individualised Controlled Ovarian Stimulation

(iCOS) which involves ovarian stimulation to suit each woman’s infertility condition and unique characteristics. Few essential parameters like age, weight, previous reproductive history, type of infertility, and ovarian reserve are considered to tailor the most optimal individualized controlled ovarian stimulation (iCOS) strategy. This technique helps to secure the shortest time to pregnancy and live birth. This also reduces the risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Thus our specialists do a thorough evaluation of your condition to design your personalised treatment to achieve the best possible outcome for your condition.

Egg Donation

Egg donation is a procedure in which a donor woman donates her fertile eggs to a recipient woman to help her conceive through assisted reproduction technology. It typically involves retrieval of eggs from the donor, fertilizing them in a laboratory, and then transferring the healthy embryos into the recipient’s uterus. In vitro fertilization (IVF) using donor eggs have proved beneficial for women who cannot conceive with their own eggs due to reasons such as:

•     Premature ovarian failure
•     Poor quality of eggs
•     Advanced age
•     Ovarian diseases
•     Ovaries surgically removed
•     Risk of inheritable genetic disease

The Procedure

The donor receives hormonal injections to induce ovulation and allow multiple eggs to mature at the same time. The doctor retrieves the mature eggs using an ultrasound guided needle and will fertilize these eggs in the laboratory using the recipient’s partner’s sperm or donor sperm. Once the eggs are fertilized, the embryos are transferred into the recipient’s uterus and monitored closely for pregnancy. After a successful implantation, the recipient carries the developing baby through the full term of the pregnancy and childbirth. In a fresh transfer, the menstrual cycles of the donor and recipient are synchronized using medications while in frozen transfer, the embryos are frozen and transferred at a later time.

Thousands of couples have become parents by opting for egg donation as an infertility treatment. It has been a boon for women to mother a child, experiencing all the joys of pregnancy and motherhood.

ART - IVF (Preparatory Phase)

ART or Assisted Reproductive Technology includes all the procedures where the eggs are surgically retrieved from a woman’s ovaries and combined with the sperms in a laboratory setting to transfer the embryo to the woman’s uterus. IVF or In Vitro Fertilization is a common method of assisted reproduction where the sperms and eggs are combined in a laboratory dish outside of the body. IVF is used to treat women with blocked, damaged, or absent fallopian tubes and endometriosis. It is also used in cases that concern male factors and when a couple’s infertility is unexplained. Typically an IVF cycle involves the following steps:

• Ovarian stimulation
• Retrieval of eggs from the ovary or ovaries
• Fertilization
• Embryo culture
• Embryo transfer into the uterus
• Support the uterine lining with medications to aid pregnancy

Let us now discuss the Preparatory Phase in detail:

Pretreatment

To prevent premature ovulation and maximize the number of eggs available for retrieval, injections containing GnRH agonist are given along with oral contraceptive pills to allow more flexibility in the timing of the cycle and reduce the chance of development of ovarian cysts. A transvaginal pelvic ultrasound is also done during this time to look out for the presence of cysts.

Ovarian Stimulation and Monitoring

In this phase, the ovaries are stimulated with daily injections of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that aid your ovaries in producing multiple mature eggs at once. Retrieving multiple eggs will improve your chances of success.

Final Oocyte Maturation

Once your eggs are ready for retrieval, a single injection of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is required to induce the final maturation of eggs, 36 hours before the egg retrieval procedure.

Once the eggs are successfully retrieved, they are incubated in specialized media so that they can fertilize and start developing into embryos. It is very important to be compliant with the treatment and doctor’s instruction during the preparatory phase for a successful pregnancy.

Early pregnancy - concerns and complications

‘Early pregnancy’ is a very misleading phrase, as it can refer either to missed signs of pregnancy in women or to pregnancy among females who have not yet reached adulthood, called teenage pregnancy. We will be referring to the first one.

Most pregnancies progress without any problems, but it has been seen that about 8% involve complications that if ignored/untreated may harm the mother and the child.

For most women, a missed menstrual period is often the first sign of pregnancy. But, in today’s hectic world, women have been known to miss this sign, leading to miscalculation in tracking the pregnancy later on. 

Early pregnancy can be a worrying time for women and following are some of the concerns and complications that may arise. 

VAGINAL BLEEDING:

Blood spots are normal, but heavy bleeding could be a sign of miscarriage. If there is bleeding and cramps similar to that of normal menstrual periods, then it could be leading to a miscarriage. However, most women do not have any problems, and go on to have a healthy baby. But, it would be best to consult your doctor without fail.

MISCARRIAGE:

A miscariage occurs when a pregnancy stops proceeding and the pregnancy tissue is ejected out of the body and it is common in the first few weeks. As said earlier, periods-like pain, cramps and bleeding often precede a miscarrige. Usually no treatable cause can be found, though it does occur in more older women than the young.

ECTOPIC PREGNANCY:

Normally a fertilized egg goes through the fallopian tube and reaches the uterus, where it settles and starts growing. The uterus has the ability to stretch and grow, but the fallopian tube does not. When an egg stays and grows inside the fallopian tube it is called an ectopic pregnancy and it is a very dangerous condition as it can cause the tube to stretch and burst leading to internal bleeding and urgent remedial surgery. One to two of every hundred pregnancies are ectopic.

HYDATIDIFORM MOLE:

This is extremely rare, found in only around one in thousand pregnancies. Here there is an unusual and rapid  growth of the placenta which prevents the fetus from growing and leads to a miscarriage. It is often discovered in the first three months.

Lifestyle modifications in treating infertility

Infertility is the inability to reproduce by natural means. This is not a natural state of affairs. 

In humans, if even after a year of intercourse without contraception, no pregnancy is seen, then, it is considered to be a problem of infertility.

Of all the causes of infertility in modern times, lifestyle is an important one, and making drastic changes to it can bring dramatic results.

Improving male fertility:

1. Lose body weight. It has been found that obesity can cause hormonal changes that can affect fertility. Low sperm count and sluggish sperms have also been attributed to obesity.
2. Say NO TO DRUGS. Especially the so-called ‘recreational ones’. They can reduce the number and quality of the sperm and some steroids can shrink the size of the human testicle. If you have to take prescription drugs or supplements, do check with your doctors on their effects.
3. Practice safe sex. This is especially true for those with multiple partners. Sexually transmitted diseases can have serious implications on fertility like fragmentation of sperm DNA.
4. Stop smoking and reduce alcohol consumption. One does not have to explain why.
5. Try not to get overheated, especially around the scrotum. Loose clothing is advised.

Improving female fertility:

1. Maintain a healthy body weight, neither over nor under. Healthy body mass helps in maintaining healthy ovulation.
2. Reduce caffeine consumption. 
3. Stop smoking.
4. Practice safe sex. As in males, sexually transmitted diseases cause problems, like damage to the fallopian tube and uterus.

For improving both male and female:

1. Exercise regularly but in moderation.
2. Stress cannot be avoided, so, acknowledge and manage it.
3. Mange or tweak your diet. Consume good, nutritious, freshly cooked food. Avoid packaged food as far as possible.

Radiofrequency for perfection

The advancement of technology has helped all the industries equally with outstanding facilities. Radio Frequency Identification  (RFID) is the first of its kind that provides greater assurance and peace of mind to parents of the newborns.

Why RFID for couples? 

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is considered to be a non-contact based wireless communication technology that helps to identify specific targets, read, and write critical data through wireless signals. These will not cause any adverse effects on the human body or cellular components. RFID helps to pass through liquids; hence is used in the field of medicine, human body implants, and biological research due to its stability and security. 

Some hospitals use 'match intelligent verification system,' which is an integrated intelligent system based on RFID technology. This can be used in the IVF laboratories for operation verification and process management scenarios. These provide excellent security, ease of use, and broad compatibility. 

The major reason for hospitals using RFID would be for the following:

• Helps to eliminate mismatch and reassuring 
• Provides customized SOP and full traceability 
• Ensures high efficiency 
• Easy and stable to use 
• Safeguards every step of the IVF operation 
• Chip is non-toxic and non-volatile hence no harm on anyone

Functioning of RFID 

RFID is the first of its kind and is a sided sensing mechanism to monitor operation area. At times, when different couples' samples are detected, the match system will send warning signs. The hospital will provide an RFID ID card to the patients who enter the cycle, which will have unique identification information. 

There will be a blank chip that is pre-pasted on the prepared vessels and test tubes for further identification. Generally, in each workspace of the labs, the match system will transfer the information of the patients from the last chip to the next blank chip to be used. The match system will help in actively scanning and confirming that there is no mismatch in the particular area or the workspace and automatically prompts further operational steps or procedures. 

However, if the same workspace detects samples of varied couples, the system will automatically interrupt the operation and leave the signal for the operator. Before embryo transfer, the doctor will ensure the system to scan the patient's ID card, matching the embryo to be transferred. This matching system can also help to track and check the sample information on the frozen and recovery process. 

At Srishti Assisted Fertility & Advanced Laparoscopy Centre, the doctor and team provide the best service with the help of RFID to prevent mismatch in pregnancy.

Social Egg Freezing for Fertility Preservation

There are several aspects connected to fertility and conceiving. Age, financial stability, lifestyle, and psychological aspects could be considered to play a major role. Egg freezing resolves infertility issues and helps to begin a new family. 

Egg freezing is a method by which the eggs are stored to preserve fertility and allows them to conceive later. This is considered by women who have issues with conceiving due to various reasons. It is recommended to consult the doctor on time so as to avoid further complications regarding fertility. The doctor will suggest the required tests before proceeding with the egg freezing procedure. 

Egg freezing process

Each cycle develops eggs in the ovaries and 1 egg would get matured and released through ovulation. Whereas, during the IVF period, the egg-freezing process allows all the eggs to mature.

Stimulation of your ovaries - hormone medications would be provided for 10-12 days to help stimulate ovaries. The doctor would monitor the progress through blood tests and ultrasound. 

Egg collection - sedation or pain medication would be given before the process. The eggs would be collected with the help of a thin needle that is inserted through the vagina. This procedure would take 10-15 minutes. The mature eggs will be frozen either using vitrification or snap freezing methods. 

Using the frozen eggs - the doctor will inform the patient about the right time to use the frozen eggs. The frozen eggs are thawed or unfrozen by removing from the freezing solution and warming them up to 37-degree celsius. The doctor would then inject sperm into the egg (ICSI) for fertilization and the embryo would be transferred to the uterus. 

Know the success of egg freezing

Mainly, there are two factors that define the success of the egg freezing process. The number of frozen eggs and the age of the woman would be mainly taken into consideration. As age increases, one might require more eggs to get the expected result.

For additional assistance on high-risk pregnancy, schedule an appointment at Srishti Hospital. They provide the required resources and support for egg freezing and related services.

The connection between thyroid and infertility

The human body and its glands are interconnected to various functions. At times the thyroid gland can affect women's health,  especially when it is an underactive thyroid gland. This could lead to fertility issues as certain hormones cannot be produced with hypothyroidism. 

When the thyroid levels are low, it will affect the release of an egg, which impairs fertility. Certain autoimmune or pituitary disorders, which are caused due to hypothyroidism, can also impair fertility. 

Thyroid hormone levels

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test helps to identify the thyroid hormone level. TSH needs to remain at an optimal level or would have an effect on ovulation. The thyroid hormone levels have a link with the development of the fetus. It is essential to keep the iodine level also optimal as thyroid hormones are synthesized from iodine. With the help of medications, doctors can help treat the variations in TSH or iodine levels. The TSH should not be higher than 2.5 and 3.0 at the time of pregnancy. 

Hyperthyroidism - when the thyroid is overactive and excessive production of thyroid hormones can be considered to be hyperthyroidism. Graves’ disease and autoimmune diseases are common manifestations of this. By performing the TSH blood test, doctors can identify the presence of hyperthyroidism. Women tend to get irregular or infrequent periods, and men would have a low sperm count. Medications, radioactive iodine, or surgery are various ways to treat hyperthyroidism. 

Hypothyroidism - when the thyroid is underactive and produces insufficient or fewer thyroid hormones, it can be termed as hypothyroidism. Lack of iodine in the diet or autoimmune disease can lead to hypothyroidism. Reduced fertility, higher chances for miscarriage, lower infant intelligence, pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and infant death are certain issues related to hypothyroidism. A simple blood test will help identify the problem, and the supplementation with iodine or thyroxine can help treat the problem. 

Thyroid antibodies

Thyroid antibodies also have an impact on fertility. Thyroid antibodies are produced when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland by mistake. Infertile women would have the presence of thyroid antibodies in them. These antibodies lead to the risk of getting pregnant. Doctors recommend blood tests so that treatment could be initiated on time. 

Changes in lifestyle and reducing stress can always have an impact on thyroid levels. Better diet and regular exercise can also help prevent and allow thyroid levels to be normal. At Srishti Assisted Facility & Advanced Laparoscopic Center, doctors can help treat problems with thyroid before IVF.

Do’s And Don’ts After An Embryo Transfer

Embryo transfer is the crucial last hurdle in the IVF cycle on which the entire success of the procedure stands. During the process, the best and viable embryos are transferred into the women's uterus and monitored for successful implantation and positive pregnancy. Usually, all the doctors follow a two weeks wait and watch approach to know if the pregnancy has occurred. This is the ultimate time that tests the patience of an individual. Although they are no restrictions imposed on the patient during this period, there are certain dos and don'ts they have to follow for a successful pregnancy during the waiting period.

DO'S

FOLLOW NORMAL ROUTINE – Patients are encouraged to perform normal routine activities after leaving the hospital. Too much of bed rest is not at all recommended. 

NUTRITIOUS DIET – Eat a diet rich in proteins, iron, and fiber.avoid unhealthy junk food. Try to include more leafy vegetables and fruits that help in proper digestion. Also, try to avoid caffeine as it is associated with miscarriage.

FLUID INTAKE – It is recommended to keep the body hydrated and drink plenty of water and fruit juices. Proper hydration is required to prevent constipation that can be caused due to the intake of medicines.

MEDICATION – All the prescribed medications should be taken on time, and no dosage should be missed. It is suggested to continue the intake of folic acid and essential multivitamins.

CONSULT DOCTOR – In case of a medical emergency or any other health issues, it is best to consult the treating doctor rather than trying own remedies or over the counter medications.

DON'TS 

STRENUOUS EXERCISE – Even tough women can perform their daily chores. It is advised not to perform any vigours exercise that disturbs the embryo position. A slow walk is always the best option to be considered.

EXTREME TEMPERATURE – It is best to avoid hot water baths or steam baths as any rise in body temperature will affect the growth of the embryo.

STRESS YOURSELF – Stress is directly proportional to the success rate of pregnancy. It is best to practice meditation and relaxation exercises to control stress levels. Also, keeping oneself engaged in daily routine will reduce the anxiety caused due to the waiting period.

SEARCH FOR SYMPTOMS – Don't engage yourself in internet gazing and search for pregnancy symptoms. Each individual's response to pregnancy will be different. Also, it is not advised to take a home pregnancy test during the waiting period.

KEEP HIGH EXPECTATIONS – Even though your just one step away from your dream to transform into reality, it is best to have neutral thoughts and stay calm and composed to the extent possible.

To transform your dream of parenthood into reality, visit Srishti Hospital, Puducherry. One of the leading fertility clinic that provides quality treatment at an affordable cost.

Benefits Of Frozen Embryo Transplantation

Frozen Embryo Transplantation 

Frozen Embryo Transplantation is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) where a cryopreserved(which is preserved from previous IVF cycle)embryo is thawed and transplanted to the women's uterus. Having a frozen embryo removes the need to transfer an embryo during the same stimulated ovulation IVF cycle when a woman's eggs are retrieved. This added time, or delayed implantation, increases the chance of a successful pregnancy and birth. Studies from around the world have shown us that In Vitro Fertilization pregnancies following a frozen embryo transfer are more similar to natural conception pregnancies than the fresh embryo transfer cycles.

Below listed are few benefits of Frozen Embryo Transplantation. 

 

• Having a frozen embryo can stand as a substitute if your fresh embryo transfer fails. There is no need to repeat the stimulation cycle for the second time.

• Reduces pregnancy risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and pre-eclampsia.
   
• It is an easy procedure that does not require surgery or anesthesia.
   
• Less medication.
      
• Less stress.
      
• Decreased miscarriage rates.
      
• We can perform genetic screening that can increase the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.
      
• Freezing all embryos can reduce the bleak effect of progesterone during pregnancy.
      
• Reduces the risk of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome(OHSS).
      
• Patients can decide the day of their transfer months in advance, which will then be used to determine their cycle initiation date.
      
• Less expensive method than a fresh IVF cycle.

Success Rates of Frozen Embryo Transfer

 

Frozen Embryo Transfer has a higher success rate comparing to fresh IVF as it is possible to optimize the lining of the uterus before implantation.

If you're pondering whether FET could be the right option for you, bring it up with your fertility specialist. Whether you are bearing in mind a "freeze all" cycle or want to know about conserving leftover embryos from a fresh cycle, your specialist can guide you make a plan with the best chance of success for your particular situation.

Our expert specialist at Srishti Hospital Pondicherry strives to provide you with quality treatment for all your infertility problems.

Intrauterine Insemination and Unexplained infertility

Most couple have a strong desire to bear a child at some point in their life. In normal cases, a couple can conceive within one year of having frequent or unprotected sex. When no results are seen within one year, the couple must go for fertility tests. After the tests, if no infertility issues are found in both the partners then it is referred to as “unexplained infertility”. In these cases, doctors often suggest the couple to have Timed sexual intercourse at the time of ovulation for few months. If these subsequent trials have failed, then IUI and fertility drugs are used to get pregnant.

IUI or Intrauterine Insemination is the next step of management in unexplained infertility

Intrauterine Insemination is a procedure which involves injecting or inseminating processed sperm into women's uterus around the time of ovulation.The goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes, thereby increasing the chances of fertilization. IUI cycles are also co-ordinated in combination with fertility drugs so that they stimulate the ovaries and increase the count of eggs.

Before the procedure, a woman is evaluated for infection, hormonal imbalances and other structural problems. Insemination is done at the time of ovulation, usually within 24-36 hours after fertility medicines are given to stimulate ovulation. Semen collected from the partner is washed at the lab to separate seminal fluid. A soft catheter is used to deposit the sperm directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation. IUI process increases the number of sperm inserted in the uterus and thus increases the possibility of conception. If the sperm fertilizes eggs, then pregnancy happens. IUI is a simple procedure which takes only around 15 to 20 minutes.

The success rate of IUI depends upon several factors such as female partner's age, health condition, fertility drugs used and others. Intrauterine Insemination is a simple and less expensive process than IVF. However, if you are trying to get pregnant and looking for testing or other options to increase fertility, you can get expert help at Srishti Hospital, Puducherry. Srishti Hospital is one of the best IVF hospitals in India where experienced and well-trained IVF Specialists provide high-quality services to the couple facing fertility issues.

Pros and Cons of Gynaecological Surgeries

The procedure for gynaecological surgeries has evolved a lot in the past few years. Today, most gynaecological surgeries are assisted with laparoscopy. Previously laparoscopy was used in the only diagnosis and tubal ligations but today this tool is used in several gynaecological surgeries. Starting from the removal of ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts or treatment of endometriosis, laparoscopy has been an effective treatment option for all these critical surgeries.

What are the pros of Laparoscopic-assisted gynaecological surgeries?

Unlike open surgeries, advanced gynaecological surgeries have several benefits.

• Minimally invasive process- Laparoscopic gynaecological surgeries involve incisions, but the cuts are very small and the marks usually fade away within a short period of time. Being a minimally invasive process, it involves very little pain and discomfort.
• Increases patient’s safety- Any gynaecological surgery that is laparoscopy-assisted involves little risks. Well, to be frank, it's not that the patient is completely in a risk-free zone, but when compared to laparotomy, the risk is less.
• Faster recovery- Previously when women used to go through gynaecological surgeries, it used to take a lot of time to recover and get back to their familial or professional life. But laparoscopy gynaecological surgeries allow the patients to get back to normal life within a short period of time. Even the hospital stay is minimal.
• Affordable- Gynaecological surgeries these days are affordable as the patient do not have to stay in the hospital for a prolonged period, thus reducing the bill amount.

What are the cons?

Though the modern day gynaecological surgeries are less risky and more effective, they still carry certain risks:

• Uterine perforation is one of the potential complications that are associated with injury to surrounding blood vessels.
• There is a chance of urinary tract and bladder injury. Risk factors for urinary infection may include pelvic organ Prolapse and malignant disease.

How Does Lifestyle Affect Fertility In Men?

When a couple is unable to get pregnant in spite of having unprotected intercourse for more than a year, it means that either of the partner or both are going through infertility issues. There is a myth that infertility is only applicable to women. But it's the biggest lie ever! Around 30% of the fertility problems arise from men. It mainly happens due to abnormal or lack of sperm production.

If noticed very minutely, a few decades back the rate of male infertility was quite less. With each passing year, infertility in men is rising at a fast rate. But why? This is because of the kind of lifestyle one leads today. What biological disorder leads to male infertility?

• hormonal problems
• obstruction to the passage of sperm
• Low sperm count and quality
• Ejaculation dysfunction (impotence)

What lifestyle choices bring infertility in men?

Healthy sperms aren’t always gifted. It is one’s lifestyle choices that make the difference. 

Following are some lifestyle habits that affect male infertility:

• Smoking and alcohol consumption- Next to cancer, the second most common health issue created by tobacco and alcohol is infertility. The toxins inhaled from smoking tobacco are harmful enough to damage the quality of sperm. Further, smoking for a prolonged period of time creates a hormonal imbalance in the body which reduces the quality of the sperm produced.
• On the other hand, alcohol consumption lowers testosterone levels and hampers the quality of the sperm produced. Excessive consumption can further reduce libido and cause impotency.
• Stress- Psychological stress is the next harmful thing for sperm. Excessive stress brings hormonal imbalance in the body which results in low sperm count and quality.
• Eating unhealthy food- Unhealthy or junk food does not have enough nutrients that can trigger the growth of new sperms. Wholesome foods like fish, brown rice, whole grains, eggs have a high quantity of zinc in it which maintain proper hormonal balance and production of sperm.

Male infertility is not a permanent problem. If you choose the right clinic for treatment, you can overcome infertility.

Benefits of IVF over other treatments

Almost 7 out of 10 couples worldwide are facing infertility issues. Some reasons are known whereas some are unknown. One of the most common reason is blocked fallopian tube and PCOS.

IVF or In-Vitro Fertilization has been a very successful method for couples with these kinds of fertility issues. It is the process in which egg cells are fertilized by the sperm cells outside the body, ie, in the laboratory. The treatment involves controlling the ovulatory process, drawing the eggs and the sperm from the couples and then fertilize them in a fluid medium. After the resulting embryo is formed it is passed directly into the woman’s uterus.

Why IVF is better than other assisted reproductive technology?

Before visiting a fertility Centre in Pondicherry, here are some things you should know about IVF. 

IVF was introduced in 1978 and since then it has helped millions of couples to give birth to a baby. When other reproductive assisted technologies have failed in some cases, IVF has worked successfully. Here are some reasons why IVF is so popular:

• IVF can be used by any couple. It can be used by surrogate mothers, same-sex couples or women who are unable to carry a baby full term.
• In the case of IVF, a couple can use donated egg or sperms to achieve better results. Using a better quality egg or sperm increases the chance of getting pregnant.
• Sometimes more than 1 embryo is formed through this process. If one of them fails to grow, others are kept reserved.
• A genetic screening test is conducted through the IVF process. It increases the chances of a healthy baby. The genetic test also reduces the chances of miscarriages.
• As multiple cycles can be used in this treatment, the chances of getting pregnant increases and live birth increases.

Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) is a surgical procedure by means of laparoscopic techniques and tools to remove the uterus and ovaries and/or fallopian tubes through the vagina. It is a minimally invasive procedure. As we know, abdominal hysterectomy is associated with higher postoperative discomfort and a longer recovery period than for a vaginal procedure. Another benefit of the LAVH may be the removal of the ovaries and tubes which sometimes cannot be easily removed with a vaginal hysterectomy.

This does not indicate that all hysterectomies should or could be done by LAVH. There are a few conditions that will demand abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy. Actually, a vaginal hysterectomy by itself, if indicated, is less expensive, less time consuming and can be less dangerous.

 

LAVH- How is it done?

LAVH is performed by some small abdominal incisions and through these small incisions small metal tubes known as “trocars” are inserted. They provide passage for a laparoscope (by which the organs are viewed on a special TV-like screen) and other microsurgical tools. Some healthcare providers may use a robotic surgical system to help with this type of hysterectomy.

What are the benefits of this procedure?

• LAVH procedure is best for benign conditions that lead to hysterectomy when the uterus is not outsized and it is often the best approach for uterine prolapse.
• Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy also treats other gynaecological ailments like Abnormal Uterine Bleeding, Endometriosis, Uterine Cancer etc
• For patients who have suspected or known pelvic scar tissue or endometriosis (Endometriosis is the third most common reason for hysterectomy), before performing a vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic surgery allows the surgeon to remove the scarred tissue with the laparoscope and thereby reducing the risk associated with the injury to the bladder or intestines during surgery.

• For patients who have larger fibroids, laparoscopic hysterectomy permits the surgeon to separate the blood vessels to the uterus while screening them through the laparoscope
• You will have only small incisions (1/2 inch) in your abdomen. This means you will probably have less post-operative complications like wound infection and adhesion.
• Recuperation time is usually faster when the uterus is removed through the vagina instead of through a cut in the belly.
• This is less physically traumatic and vaginal procedure does not leave a large visible scar. (You may have very small scars from the 3 or 4 tiny cuts in your abdomen that are used to place tools into your abdomen.)

They have been in the vanguard of advanced Gynaecological Endoscopic procedures and Fertility care offering outstanding treatments with greater clinical outcomes, at affordable costs.

Conception-No More A Dream!

What is Intrauterine insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine insemination is a fertility treatment where the sperm are placed inside the uterus to accelerate the fertilization process. The main focus is to increase the number of sperms that arrive at fallopian tubes which in turn provides a greater chance of fertilization. The IUI is comparatively not that expensive and is less invasive.

 

IUI - What are the procedures?

Before starting with any of the procedures, ovulation stimulation medicines are given, after which attention ought to be provided to determine whether the eggs are matured. The rise in LH hormones indicates that ovulation will take place very soon. Ovulation is stimulated using LH surge or by an HCG injection. The IUI procedure will be carried out after 24 to 36 hours after the surge.

The semen is separated from the seminal fluid and the sperm is directly inserted into the uterus using a catheter. There are significant chances of fertilization, as the number of sperms placed in the uterus can be increased via the process.

The IUI process can be completed within a short span of time and involves almost no discomforts as compared to other processes.
