The inability of a couple to
conceive a child even after repeated tries of unprotected intercourse over a
year is termed as infertility. This condition is not limited to any partner and
can be seen in both males and females. Around 30-35 percent of females are
affected with this problem and an equal number of males also suffer from it. In
around 20 percent of the cases, both males and females are affected. There is a
social stigma attached to this problem and causes a lot of mental stress. But
you don’t need to worry now. There are many new methods which are out there to
deal with this problem. One of the most popular and commonly used is IVF. BLK
is one of the best hospitals to give you IVF treatment in India.
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a
procedure which is done outside the body. Egg are taken from the female partner
and sperm from the male one. They are combined in a special glass dish. Right
from development of eggs to the completion of the procedure, it takes around
10-14 days. It is important to understand the eligibility of this procedure.
IVF treatment specialists in India suggest this procedure if –
· Blocked fallopian tubes – these tubes carries
the matured egg to the uterus. It becomes difficult for the egg to travel which
prevents it from combining with the sperm. There are no symptoms and it becomes
difficult to diagnose. Common causes are STD infection, previous abortion,
ruptured appendix, abdominal surgery etc.
· Decrease in sperm count – it is the condition in
which semen contains lesser sperm that are required for conceiving a child. It
may be due to medical reasons like varicocele, infection, undescended testicle,
celiac disease; lifestyle reasons such as alcohol, drugs, emotional stress,
weight; environmental causes such as industrial chemicals, radiation, frequent
use of sauna etc.
· Genetic disorders – these disorders are related
to chromosomes. Disorders of the chromosome occur in more than half of all
first trimester pregnancy losses.
There are five different steps in
best IVF hospitals in India. They are mentioned below –
1.
Eggs are desired to start the fertility cycle.
Medicine is given to stimulate multiple production of egg because some of them
will not develop.
2.
Once developed, a hollow needle is used to
remove egg. A whole surgical procedure with ultrasound imaging is involved in
this.
3.
In next step, male partner is asked to produce a
sample of sperm which will be combined with the egg.
4.
Then insemination occurs. Best IVF centers in
India store them in a laboratory dish to start the insemination process. They
are considered as embryos once they are fertilized.
5.
In the final step, five days after the
fertilization of eggs, they are transferred into the woman’s uterus. It takes
around a week to complete.
ICSI is a common IVF procedure in
which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg when there is a lower
probability of fertilization. It is a laboratory procedure in which a single
sperm is picked and injected directly into the egg. ICSI infertility treatment
in India is different from this procedure as there is no need of multiple eggs
and the ability of the sperm to penetrate the egg also do not matter. Around 25
percent of the patients will be able to conceive after only one attempt. It is
suitable for the following candidates –
·
Problem with sperm like low sperm count or
cannot move properly.
·
When IVF is not able to eradicate infertility.
Low concentration or motility.
