Surgeries that can enhance fertility

Surgeries that can enhance fertility

Fertility enhancing surgeries are usually advised to young women with suspected minimal to moderate disease of tubes, ovaries or uterus. These surgeries may enhance the rate of spontaneous pregnancy or IUI treatment. Usually such surgeries are done by experts through laparoscope to prevent damage to pelvic organs.


Fertility enhancing surgeries in female infertility

Myomectomy :

Uterine fibroids are the most common tumours in the female. Fibroids in infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment can decrease success rates than do age-matched women with no fibroid. Removal of fibroids(myomectomy) can help these cases. However, myomectomy is restricted to women with unexplained infertility. If you have fibroids growing into the uterine cavity then you are more likely to benefit after myomectomy. Higher pregnancy rates can be achieved after laparoscopic removal than open surgery. This procedure can be considered if you are suffering from infertility for long years.

Tubal anastomosis:

Tubal sterilization is one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods worldwide. Approximately 1% of the women who undergo this procedure may request reversal of the procedure to restore fertility. However, if you are going for this procedure you must be aware of its cost benefit analysis. Due to its low success rate, often IVF is preferred to tubal anastomosis. Tubal anastomosis by the laparoscopic approach has the advantages over open surgery. Less postoperative discomfort and fewer complications, a smaller incisional scar, a shorter recovery time, and earlier resumption of normal activities are the advantages of laparoscopic procedure. This could be especially beneficial for a patient who previously has undergone a laparotomy or caesarean section because it allows her to avoid a second surgery.

The Surrogacy Dilemma In India

  Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction that helps biological parents start families when they cannot conceive naturally or  artificial methods. Couples pursue surrogacy for several reasons and come from different backgrounds. There are two types of surrogacy arrangements: gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, an egg is removed from the biological mother or an anonymous donor and fertilised with the sperm of the biological father or anonymous donor. The fertilised egg, or embryo, is then transferred to a surrogate who carries the baby to term. The child is thereby genetically related to the woman who donated the egg and the father or sperm donor, but not the surrogate. In a traditional surrogacy arrangement, a surrogate becomes pregnant with the use of her own eggs. Indian government legalised surrogacy in 2002 and from then gestational surrogacy is practiced in India. Surrogacy is an option GUIDELINES

ULTRASOUND MONITORING OF OVARIAN FOLLICLES

Follicular Tracking What Is Follicular Monitoring? SERIAL ULTRASONIC MONITORING OF THE OVARIAN FOLLICLES TO FOLLOW GROWTH OF EGGS IS TERMED FOLLICULAR MONITORING. What are ovarian follicles? Ovarian follicles are the basic units of female reproductive biology. Each of them contains a single oocyte (egg). What is the best size of follicles to ovulate? Follicles are minute in size around menstrual days. Slowly they grow and mature. A mature follicle of size more than 16mm is ready to ovulate (release egg) What is follicular study test? Follicular study is charting the follicular growth after the menstruation. Follicular monitoring is completed at ovulation. At what size does the follicle rupture? Follicles mature and rupture at 18 to 20 mm size. Ovulation happen around 12 th to 18 th   day of Cycle. What is done in follicular test? Assessment of the follicular maturity and endometrial receptivity is done by ultrasound f
