IVF Treatment
Reproducing is a vital component of human life and the biggest gift to mankind by nature. However there are a number of people who are still deprived of the pleasure of holding a new born in their arms.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), has proved to be a ray of hope to these people. In Vitro Fertilization is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) which is commonly referred to as IVF is a process of fertilization by extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus.
IVF can help people patients suffering from-
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Male factor infertility including decreased sperm count or sperm motility
- Women with ovulation disorders, premature ovarian failure, uterine fibroids
- Women who have had their fallopian tubes removed
- Individuals with a genetic disorder
- Unexplained infertility in both men and women
PROCEDURE-
- Fertility medications are prescribed to stimulate egg production. Multiple eggs are desired because some eggs will not develop or fertilize after retrieval. A trans vaginal ultrasound is used to examine the ovaries, and blood test samples are taken to check hormone levels.
- Eggs are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to guide a hollow needle through the pelvic cavity to remove the eggs. Medication is provided to reduce and remove potential discomfort.
- The male is asked to produce a sample of sperm, which is prepared for combining with the eggs.
- In a process called insemination, the sperm and eggs are mixed together and stored in a laboratory dish to encourage fertilization. The eggs are monitored to confirm that fertilization and cell division are taking place. Once this occurs, the fertilized eggs are considered embryos.
- The embryos are usually transferred into the woman’s uterus three to five days following egg retrieval and fertilization. A catheter or small tube is inserted into the uterus to transfer the embryos.
FACILITIES AVAILABLE IN INDIA-
In India we provide high class facilities of IVF treatment at much lower cost than other countries. These centers in India have advanced microscopic machines that help the doctors to select the healthy and best quality sperm for fertilization. Intra-Cytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) helps magnify the image of the sperm 7,200 times, thereby allowing doctors to pick the best looking healthier sperms.
- IUI- IUI involves a laboratory procedure to separate fast-moving sperm from more sluggish or non-moving sperm. It can be performed with your partner’s sperm or donor sperm (known as donor insemination). The goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilization.
- ICSI– Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg in an attempt to achieve fertilization. The eggs are monitored to confirm that fertilization and cell division are taking place. Once this occurs, the fertilized eggs are considered embryos.
ICSI involves the use of specialized micromanipulation tools and equipment and inverted microscopes that enable embryologists to select and pick up individual sperm in a specially designed ICSI needle. The needle is carefully advanced through the outer shell of the egg (Zona) and the egg membrane – and the sperm is injected into the inner part (cytoplasm) of the egg. These are fertilized in laborites and then best of the fertilized egg is transferred to the womb.
ICSI is recommended when-
- Very low sperm count
- Poor morphology (abnormal shape)
- Poor motility (not moving normally)
- Unexpectedly low fertilization rate
- Failure of previous IVF attempt
- Embryo testing.
- Advanced surgical sperm retrieval treatments like –
- TESE – Testicular Sperm Extraction is a surgical sperm retrieval procedure used in fertility treatment for men who have no sperm in their ejaculate.
- MESA – Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration is a refers to retrieval of sperm-containing fluid from optimal areas of the epididymis that are selected and sampled using high-power optical magnification provided by an operating microscope.
- PESA – Percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration is a technique used to determine sperm counts in the event of a possible blockage of the vas deferens
- Laser Assited Hatching
- Cryopreservation
- Semen Bank
- Egg Donation/Egg Sharing
- Blastocyst Culture – This procedure intends to maximize pregnancy rates while minimizing the risk of multiple pregnancies
