Counseling For Infertility Treatment

Counseling is an integral part of infertility treatment. So in most of the cases only detailed counseling, regarding the process of natural pregnancy, about the most fertile period and good amount of assurance helps in achieving pregnancy. Counseling actually helps couples to understand the causes of their infertility, the sessions they need to undergo and it also speaks about the treatment they are undergoing and the results expected from the treatment. Thus a good and concentrated counseling makes the task very easy for both; the doctor and the patient. This makes the treatment very simple.rnVarious fertility Solution centers at Pune give lot of emphasis on counseling so that the patients are comfortable during their treatment if needed. IVF In-Verto fertilizationrnThis is a type of Artificial Reproductive Techniques which requires great monitoring, thorough knowledge and honed skills. Infertility treatment centers in Pune are proud to claim consistent results of 50-60% per cycle in IVF-and ICSI treatment cases. Once proper selection of the cases is done, the female partner is supposed to take injections daily. The purpose of injections is to develop adequate no. of eggs in the ovaries. 6 is a good number. The process of development of follicles (eggs) is monitored through USG. Based on the results of monitoring, blood tests and the doses are adjusted. Infertility treatment using this process is almost fool proof. If follicles attain necessary size, ovum pick-up (OPU) or oocyte retrieval (OR) is done. The patient should be empty stomach on the day of OPU. The patient gets discharged on the same day. OPU is performed under general anesthesia and USG guidance. Using adequate negative pressure, eggs are aspirated. Lot of care needs to be shown to the patient while using this method of treatment. Microscope is used to aspirate the eggs. Then the eggs are separated from other tissue material. Simultaneously, semen is processed in order to separate out the most normal and motile sperms from the sample of semen. Eggs are treated in different manner depending upon the type of the treatment i.e. IVF or ICSI. In IVF, the eggs and the sperms are cultured inside an incubator for some hours. During this period, the sperm fertilizes the egg. Next, the eggs are separated from their surroundings cells which are cumulus and corona cells. After this they are scanned under a microscope in order to check fertilization. rnIntra Cystoplasmic Sperm InjectionrnIn ICSI, the process of Infertility treatment in pune is quite different. Here, the eggs are first cleared off from their surrounding cells which are cumulus and corona cells. After this, they are checked for their maturity.rnFor ICSI, only mature eggs are selected. We use a machine called micro-manipulator to do the ICSI. The process is called micro-manipulation. In this process, an egg is injected by a sperm at a time so as to aid fertilization. Injected eggs are incubated for certain hours. Then they are scanned under the microscope in order to check that how many eggs are fertilized. Then the fertilized eggs are cultured inside the incubator. Scanning is conducted daily to track the growth. rnWhat Is IUI Treatment?rnIUI or intrauterine insemination is a simple infertility treatment. In this method, a small tube is used to place washed sperms into the uterus. IUI is more commonly called as artificial insemination (AI). So IUI and AI are the same fertility treatment processes or methods.rnWhen drug use needs to be avoided, this alternative should be done using IUI. This is much easier to do than reproductive technologies like IVF and ICSI. Also lot of money is saved. As per RESOLVE’s survey, the average IUI costs $895 while for IVF, the cost may rise upto $8,000.rnWhen Is IUI Treatment Used?rnIUI is used in cases of male infertility like low sperm count. This treatment can also be used when a sperm donor is used. IUI can also be used when woman's cervical mucus is less than what is necessary. Also in situations of unexplained infertility, IUI treatment can be tried if Clomid (clomiphene citrate) doesn't help.rnIt may also be used if patient wants to avoid higher cost of IVF or ICSI treatments. It is worth to be noted that IUI is less effective than IVF or ICSI, But IUI generally becomes successful after 2-3 attempts. Even 2-3 attempts with IUI will cost less than 1 attempt of IVF or ICSI.
