In-Vitro Fertilization Treatment

Every couple wants to enjoy their parenthood but moreover, every woman wants to become a mother. But when she is not able to become one that’s when all the problems start. When this happens she gets ill-treated either socially or on the home front.

But ideally, it’s not always the problem associated only with the woman. When a couple is not getting pregnant it can so happen that either person is likely to be the cause. When such a condition arises then its termed as Infertility. In this condition, the couples face difficulty in getting pregnant or staying pregnant.

Fertility problems can happen in both women and men and are not just a matter of age or women related problems, they can also have many other causes. Sometimes it can so happen that there is no known reason for infertility called unexplained infertility. It can be frustrating but there are treatment options for this condition as well.

There are numerous possible causes of infertility, therefore seeing a good doctor that specializes in infertility can help and identify the exact cause for it and suggest the best treatment for the couple.

She has 37 years of experience and is still counting. Dr. Firuza Parikh is rated amongst India’s top 10 doctors. She is the best infertility experts in Mumbai.

We know that infertility is caused due to different reasons and there is a treatment for every infertility problem. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is one such treatment that addresses this problem of infertility. A couple who is facing the problem of infertility might be suggested with IVF if required.

Before going for an IVF treatment the couple might be able to attempt some less-invasive treatment options which include fertility drugs that increase the production of eggs or intrauterine insemination a procedure in which the sperms are placed directly into the female uterus close to the time of ovulation.

IVF is a process in which the egg is combined with a sperm outside the body; that is in-vitro or in-glass.

The process of IVF, in brief, is described below:

Firstly both people are tested for infertility when the couple has trouble getting pregnant.

Further in this process, a woman’s ovulatory process is stimulated and monitored.

Then an ovum is removed from the woman’s ovaries and is got in contact with the male sperms for fertilization.

Further, the egg gets fertilized and undergoes embryo culture for 2 to 6 days and then is implanted into the uterus of the same or another woman to establish a successful pregnancy.

All of these processes are carried out in a laboratory.

At times IVF is the primary treatment that is suggested for infertility in a woman above the age of 40 or if the woman has any particular health condition.

IVF treatment is also suggested if the couple has:

A genetic disorder.

Ovulation disorder.

Uterine fibroids.

Impaired sperm function and production.

Unexplained infertility.

Previous tubal sterilization.

In-vitro fertilization also has some risks which the couple needs to understand. The risks that involve IVF treatment include:

Birth defects.

Multiple births.

Miscarriage.

Ectopic pregnancy.

Financial, physical and emotional stress.

Premature delivery with low birth weight.

The process of IVF may be used to overcome female infertility which arises due to a problem with the fallopian tubes, in turn, making in-vivo fertilization difficult. One full cycle of IVF takes about three weeks.

Before beginning with a cycle for IVF the couple has to undergo several screenings that include semen analysis, uterine examination, ovarian reserve testing, infectious disease screening for HIV, mock embryo transfer, and other genetic tests.

At Jaslok hospital, Mumbai all these tests and procedures are carried out with utmost care and attention.
