This is not a legend. The doctor and just an expert on this topic answered us all the exciting questions about artificial insemination and infertility treatment.
Formulate in a few words, please: what are you doing in your laboratories?
We help to meet the egg and sperm, create fertilization. Further developmental stages of the embryo occur in the female body, as in natural conception.
When it becomes clear that the couple is barren?
Today, the problem of infertility and subsequent fertilization has worsened throughout the world: 15-20% of couples can not have children.
To sound an alarm follows if within a year of a regular sexual life at a married couple pregnancy and has not come or stepped. But we should only say: "We can not conceive a child." The word "infertility" is humiliating.
Often the husband's relatives blame the woman.
Artificial insemination and infertility treatment begins with examination, and it is necessary to start it with a man. If in the 90s men had a lower limit of the norm of 60 million spermatozoa, today the norm has been reduced to 20 million. And only 50% are full-fledged. In the event that all indicators of the spouse are normal, it is necessary to carefully check the woman: hormonal and infectious examinations, ultrasound of the uterine cavity, patency of the fallopian tubes. Often, the cause of obstruction of the fallopian tubes can be inflammatory processes and abortions. Then the only way out is artificial insemination. If the couple is normal, we suggest a controlled conception. That is, watching a woman, we inform spouses: "Such days are most favorable for you for conception. So, be nice, live an intense sex life. Everything should turn out by itself.
As an option for artificial insemination and infertility treatment - it is possible to conduct intrauterine insemination: a woman in the middle of the menstrual cycle with the help of a catheter through the cervix is introduced specially prepared spermatozoa of her husband. The effectiveness of the method is 25-30%.
In which cases do you use the method of "children from a test tube"?
Help should start with the most simple methods. And only in case of failure to move to more complex, to what people call "children from a test tube." Under general anesthesia from the ovary, using a special thin needle, the woman takes an egg.
The patient can go home two hours after the procedure. I note, no incision of the abdomen and subsequent scars.
The husband at this time surrenders the sperm, we prepare it for fertilization, and further, by laboratory under a microscope we provide a meeting of the sperm and egg. Then the embryo for two or three days is placed in an incubator, in which a medium resembling a female organism is maintained. Then, with the help of a catheter, the doctor enters the embryo (usually two or three) into the uterine cavity. After two weeks a special test is to check whether pregnancy has come or not.
Artificial insemination and infertility treatment are effective and effective in relation to this procedure in our clinic - 50%. If the result is positive, the doctor gives further advice on how to manage the pregnancy. The remaining embryos, if desired, are frozen in liquid nitrogen. In special tubes, they can be stored for decades.
If the first time failed to do artificial insemination, when you can repeat the procedure? After 2 - 3 months. During this time, the woman's body will have time to rest and gain strength. I know that the services of your clinic are not limited to questions of artificial insemination. We started in 1992 as a small medical institution that dealt only with reproductive problems. So it was before 2004. There was an opportunity to give the woman everything she wanted in one place: to help her to become pregnant, to bear and give birth to a healthy baby.
