Infertility & IVF

Understanding Female Infertility at Metro Hospitals:

Female infertility is a multifaceted condition, and at Metro Hospitals, our highly qualified and experienced specialists comprehend the unique challenges faced by women. We offer personalized solutions to address the factors contributing to female infertility.

Factors Affecting Female Infertility:

• Age: Fertility declines with age, especially after 35, as the quantity and quality of eggs decrease.
• Reproductive Disorders: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis can impact fertility.
• Hormonal Imbalances: Irregularities in hormonal levels may affect ovulation and the menstrual cycle.
• Fallopian Tube Issues: Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes can hinder the fertilization process.
• Uterine Conditions: Abnormalities in the uterus, such as fibroids or polyps, may affect fertility.
• Ovulatory Disorders: Irregular ovulation or the absence of ovulation can lead to infertility.
• Endocrine Disorders: Conditions affecting the endocrine system, such as thyroid disorders, can impact fertility.

Treatment Options for Female Infertility at Metro Hospitals:

• Fertility Medications: Medications like Clomiphene or Gonadotropins stimulate ovulation.
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Sperm is directly placed into the uterus during ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and resulting embryos are implanted in the uterus.
• Reproductive Surgery: Corrective surgeries may address issues such as blocked fallopian tubes or uterine abnormalities.
• Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Techniques like intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be used to enhance fertilization.
• Fertility Preservation: Freezing eggs or embryos allows women to preserve fertility for future family planning.
• Lifestyle and Dietary Counseling: Guidance on lifestyle changes and dietary habits to enhance fertility.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) at Metro Hospitals: A Path to Parenthood

What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a highly advanced assisted reproductive technology that involves the fertilization of an egg by sperm outside the body, in a laboratory setting. This revolutionary technique offers hope to couples facing infertility by facilitating the formation of embryos, which are then carefully selected and transferred to the woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy.

Why is IVF Needed?

IVF is recommended for various infertility conditions, including:

• Fallopian Tube Issues: If the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged, hindering the natural fertilization process.
• Male Factor Infertility: When there are issues with sperm production, motility, or morphology.
• Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, impacting fertility.
• Ovulatory Disorders: When a woman experiences irregular or absent ovulation.
• Unexplained Infertility: In cases where the cause of infertility cannot be pinpointed through traditional diagnostic methods.

Benefits of IVF at Metro Hospitals:

• Increased Pregnancy Rates: IVF significantly improves the chances of pregnancy, especially for couples with complex infertility issues.
• Genetic Screening: Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) allows for the screening of embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation.
• Flexibility in Treatment: IVF offers flexibility in choosing the timing of conception, allowing couples to plan their family when it suits them best.
• Addressing Multiple Causes: IVF can overcome various fertility challenges, addressing both male and female factors simultaneously.
• Fertility Preservation: For individuals facing medical treatments that may impact fertility, such as chemotherapy, IVF allows for the preservation of eggs or embryos.

IVF Technique at Metro Hospitals:

• Ovarian Stimulation: The woman undergoes hormone therapy to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
• Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries using a minimally invasive procedure called transvaginal ultrasound aspiration.
• Sperm Collection: A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a sperm donor.
• Fertilization: Eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish, and fertilization is monitored.
• Embryo Culture: The fertilized eggs develop into embryos over a few days in a controlled environment.
• Embryo Transfer: Selected healthy embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus, increasing the chances of successful implantation.
• Pregnancy Test: A pregnancy test is conducted to determine the success of the procedure.
