Premature Ovarian Failure: What are the chances of conception

by adminon 7 October 2017in female infertility

Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a common condition that affects both women in their childbearing age and those heading or in their menopause. Premature Ovarian Failure is a female sexual dysfunction or a form of infertility where a woman’s ovaries suddenly stop producing viable or eggs at all.

Unfortunately, there are few measures to combat Premature Ovarian Failure that at times may provide no desired results. At least 2 women in 80 in their childbearing age suffer from POF whereas 5 of 100 women aged 40 to 45 experience premature Ovarian Failure.

What causes Premature Ovarian Failure?

The term premature points to an occurrence that manifests itself before the actual expected period. This means that a woman’s body suddenly just stops responding to the natural call of producing eggs in the ovaries for fertilization.

It is a terrible situation characterized with fewer chances of conception since a woman will experience anovulation. The actual causes of premature ovarian failure aren’t known, but the following may play a part;

  • Genetic factors

Certain infertility cases are genetically triggered and they can occur at any age. Premature Ovarian Failure may genetically be triggered in some women, which may lead to infertility.

  • Treatments

These include chemotherapy and radiation that may affect the ovaries and their ability to produce and store eggs.

  • Immune system

A poor immune system or immune disorder may allow sudden occurrences and also attack the organs.

  • Surgery

A previous surgery or an infection may also affect the ovaries hence causing primary ovarian insufficiency.

Symptoms of Premature Ovarian Failure

Women in their childbearing age may find it difficult to ascertain that they are affected by premature ovarian failure unless facing infertility. Seeking fertility advice in an IVF centre in India will help relieve you from terrible stress. In most cases, POF symptoms are similar to those of menopause. Some of the indicators for POF are;

  • Menstrual irregularities

Monthly menstruation is an indicator that a woman is fertile and those who may experience irregularities, it may be a sign that there are health issues that require correction.

Menstrual irregularities will prevent one from acquiring eggs necessary for fertilization to achieve pregnancy.

  • Vaginal dryness

This is commonly a menopausal symptom where estrogen levels or production reduce, but also occurs during premature ovarian failure.

  • Low sexual drive

You will suddenly experience low libido as a result of POF.

  • Hot flashes

This is a sudden feeling of warmth that may continue for a long period of time. One may experience them in the face, chest and the neck.

How can Premature Ovarian Failure be treated?

You will automatically require infertility treatment in India in case you desire to have children. The following can help;

Egg donation & IVF

There are egg donors from whom you can get quality eggs at an IVF centre. The egg/s will be subjected to IVF procedures and the embryo transferred to your womb.

In case earlier detected, dietary changes can help a woman correct the hormones and increase estrogen and gonadotropin secretion for a natural conception.

Massage Therapy to Treat Female Infertility- what you must know

by adminon 7 October 2017in female infertility

Conceiving after marriage is no longer a sure deal for some couples, many live worried about their chances of conception once married. This is due to the various experiences like infections, trauma or genetic problems that may compromise fertility.

Advanced technology provides various means of conception through the scientific methods of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology), but it isn’t everyone’s wish to opt for them much as they dearly love to have a child or children in life.

Procedures like infertility drugs, ICSI, and above all IVF have proved to bring hope in many infertile couples’ lives. The case of IVF where the eggs are extracted from a woman and the sperms from a man and then joined in a petri dish for fertilization. The formed embryo is then transferred to the woman’s uterus for implantation.

However, IVF isn’t openly welcomed or accepted by some couples, especially the women due to;

  • Emotional stress

  • Various hormone injections

  • High expenditure

  • Failed treatment cycles

  • Side effects and complications that include multiple pregnancies

  • Uncertainties among others

According to the latest news, that is awesome and worth reading, FOX News published a story of a one named woman (Pamela Soto) who had struggled with infertility for more than 2 years.

Once she got married to her husband John Henry Soto, they decided to have children after a year. When that one year elapsed, Pamela realized that she couldn’t conceive. She later searched for fertility advice after 2 years of trying.

Since she never desired to undergo any scientific protocols of conception, she searched for various natural ways for conception and that is when she landed on a clinic that provides massage as the main treatment for infertility.

The trained personnel confirmed that they only specialize in massage as the main fertility treatment. They, first of all, acquire necessary information on the patient, carry out different checkups and above all ultrasounds to view the entire woman’s organs.

Once they capture the source of infertility, that is where massage is performed.

Massage for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

The Fallopian tubes are vital for conception, but they are at times affected due to trauma, infections, and adhesion. This causes the Fallopian tubes to get blocked, preventing the egg from meeting the sperm.

During Infertility treatment in India, blocked Fallopian tubes are normally treated through a surgery which removes the blockage to allow the sperm meet the egg.

While this is not the same approach with massaging, the natural way of correcting Fallopian tubes requires an expert to massage the affected region and straighten the tubes. This can take about 5 to 6 months.

According to Pamela, she learnt that she was pregnant after 6 months of the massage therapy and she can have another child in case they desire.

The physical therapy can correct other factors like;

  • Endometriosis

  • Adhesions

  • Mucus

  • Hormonal dysfunctions

To Pamela, she narrates that there is no pain, but one will have to experience an uncomfortable feeling that is hardly described but may be bearable than the infertility procedures in any IVF Centre in Delhi that may only produce negative results.

Difference Between IVF baby And TEST TUBE BABY

Is there any difference between Test Tube Baby and IVF?

by adminon 13 May 2017in infertility

Difference Between Test Tube Baby and IVF Baby

It is a common question that confuses many of those seeking infertility treatments. The fact is, there is no difference between a test tube baby and IVF procedures. In other words, the two mean the same thing.

What is a test tube baby?

The same thing happens in IVF Centres. A test tube baby gets its roots from the fact that sperms and the eggs are combined and kept to form an embryo (fertilized) in a test tube. In simple terms, it is the process where a baby is conceived artificially.

IVF and test tube baby have the same process since they are utilizing the same procedures for conception.

The test tube baby procedure is mainly for couples with

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Blocked Fallopian Tubes
  • Failed infertility treatment cycles
  • Surrogacy
  • Any other infertility case

The Test Tube baby procedure in India

The test tube baby process is simply divided into five steps;

  1. Infertility drugs and stimulation

Due to the fact that you are unable to conceive naturally, fertility drugs are given to stimulate your hormones and ovaries to produce more quality eggs for the procedure. Gonadotrophins, Clomifene Citrate, and Metformin are the common drugs given to a woman during egg stimulation.

Transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests are frequently carried out to observe the egg follicles in the ovaries and to monitor the hormones.

  1. Egg retrieval

When the ultrasound procedures show that the eggs are ready, they are removed through a minor surgery (laparoscopic surgery) and taken for incubation.

Likewise, the man will have to deliver fresh sperms on the day of fertilization by masturbation or donor sperms are used

  1. Fertilization and embryo selection

The sperms are washed and then joined with the eggs in a process known as insemination. They are cultured in the laboratory for 5 days until cell division occurs.

  1. Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA)

The latest procedure (genetic test) allows the doctor to determine whether the endometrial lining will facilitate implantation. The procedure developed by Igenomix, is a major breakthrough that will increase the success rate of test tube baby. When the woman’s uterus is receptive then the embryo transfer is made and if not, it is postponed

  1. Embryo transfer

Under the guidance of an ultrasound, a catheter is inserted into the woman’s vagina and the embryo is transferred to the uterus. She will need two hours of rest, after which she is free to get back to her work

Test tube baby cost in India

The cost ranges from Rs. 1, 20, 000 to Rs. 2, 30,000 normally. The cost will vary from one clinic to another, the fertility drugs used, the number of cycles and the fertility cause. A good consultation procedure is advised to have a clue of what a couple is going in for.

Crossing the line of infertility to fertility in the case of Blocked Fallopian tubes

Crossing the line of infertility to fertility in the case of Blocked Fallopian tubes

by adminon 11 May 2017in female infertility

Today young girls battle with STDs, infections, unwanted pregnancies, and poor lifestyles the major causes of infertility today. These problems are visible since they have signs and symptoms and they can effectively be treated to close the road to infertility, but there is a master that is silent in causing infertility- (Blocked Fallopian Tubes)

Do you know that mere menstruating each month doesn’t mean that you are fertile? Blocked Fallopian tubes problem is rising in women today and its causes are; infections that lead to inflammation, appendicitis, STDs like Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) that pave a way to scarring in the pelvic region. These same issues cause the tubes to be tightly twisted that alter their shape or damage them seriously. Other causes include endometriosis where the uterine lining grows in other parts and cause obstruction and there are also some chances for a past surgery to cause a blockage in the Fallopian tubes

What are Fallopian Tubes?

Fallopian Tubes are two thin passages, each at every side of the hip and they act as the middlemen between the uterus and the ovaries. These tubes when healthy and normal facilitate the smooth movement of the fertile egg from the ovary to the outer third of the Fallopian tube or to the upper portion of the uterus where the sperm cell meets it and then fertilization occurs.

When there is a blockage, obstruction, or when the tubes are badly twisted, the sperms are prevented from meeting the egg and fertilization may not occur. In other cases when fertilization occurs, it may lead to an ectopic pregnancy a serious case when the pregnancy is outside the uterus.

One will hardly know that the Fallopian tubes are damaged or blocked until they are diagnosed or tackling conception failure.

Diagnosis

Since the problem is silent, Blocked Fallopian tubes are mainly detected after an HSG test or a laparoscopic procedure. The fertility history is considered, past surgeries and infections

Blocked Fallopian Tubes Treatment

  • You can say that some treatments are simple while others are invasive, but the major aim is to help a woman conceive in a healthy way. Treatment mainly depends on the results of the diagnostic procedure
  • Some simple treatments only require hydrotubation, a procedure where a saline solution is flushed into the Fallopian tubes to clear the obstruction.
  • In the requirement of a surgery, a laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) or a microsurgery may be conducted to repair the tubes.

Getting pregnant with Blocked Fallopian tubes

In the case where one Fallopian tube is normal and healthy, a woman can get pregnant with just simple treatments and when both the tubes are not functioning other treatments like a surgery or IVF can be used.

A woman with Blocked Fallopian Tubes can get pregnant with the help of proper IVF treatment in India. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) practices are the major solutions for any infertility case, especially Blocked Fallopian Tubes.

by adminon 17 April 2017in female infertility

The opening is intended to make it easier for the embryo to hatch after a blastocyst is formed. Many IVF centres have been drawn to this laser-assisted procedure than the use of acid Tyrode’s embryo hatching or partial zona dissection

Though this method is used in IVF procedures, it must be performed by only experts because the lack of expertise can cause damage to the cells.

  • In the first step, the part of the shell where the laser will be imposed is marked by an expert.
  • The laser is directed towards the shell and energy is delivered o the embryo’s shell. The laser beam can’t be seen, but the effect can be witnessed
  • The energy gets dissolved into the shell thereby creating an opening. The energy can be released for multiple times for the gap to be created, but caution has to be used to prevent mistakes and damage to the embryo and its cells.

Experts have found that the use of laser hatching increases the success rate of IVF procedures than in cases where the practice is not used.

Understanding PCOS and its Effective treatment plus management

by adminon 15 April 2017in female infertility

The condition is characterized with Hirsutism, acne, anovulation, and insulin resistance. PCOS disease is detected through an ultrasound to see whether there are cysts growing in the ovaries or not. Other tests can also be performed, including an X-ray.

The actual cause of PCOS is unknown, but it is believed that the excessive production of the male hormones (androgens) in the woman lead to the growth of cysts and problems with the menstrual cycle. PCOS treatment in India also has no direct treatment, but rather the doctor will treat PCOS depending on your size, insulin levels, infertility cause, and direct you on how to manage PCOS at home. The fact is that PCOS has no cure, but the effective treatment and management can reduce its associated risks and complications.

PCOS can first of all be drilled through a surgery to remove them from the ovaries. The surgery is conducted with the help of an ultrasound and a camera where a doctor is directed to the cysts.

Fertility drugs like Clomifene and Metformin are used. Clomifene induces ovulation and where it fails, Metformin is given to a patient to lower the insulin levels in a woman.

For the obese patients, physical exercises and dieting are encouraged to manage the insulin levels in the body and help in hormone balance.

Cinnamon, multivitamin tablets, garlic, consuming moderate proteins, and omega-3 fatty acid are recommended for PCOS patients.

Fertility treatments like IVF treatment and ICSI can be used to help a woman conceive a child.
