Many couples in the world suffer from infertility due to one reason or the other. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an Assisted Reproductive Technology helping women become pregnant. It is one of the safest and most popular solutions for couples battling infertility. It is the only treatment when infertility is due to reasons like blocked or damaged fallopian tubes or severe male factor infertility. This technique has helped millions of people worldwide to become satisfied parents.
The
technique was pioneered by Sir Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe. The first
baby using the IVF technique was born in the year 1978. Since then the IVF
technique has seen many technological advancements and the treatment has become
safer and more successful.
Before
starting the procedure of IVF the doctor first establishes the reason for
infertility. The procedure involves the collection of mature eggs from ovaries
and fertilization with sperms in laboratory conditions. The technique has many
benefits and some of the benefits include:
1. Better chances of conception: The most significant benefit of IVF in India is a successful pregnancy
and a healthy child. IVF has a better rate of success as compared
to other assisted reproductive techniques. With age, the quality and quantity
of a woman’s eggs decline, and thus her chances of getting pregnant through
normal conception reduce. In the IVF procedure, the most viable eggs are
selected and used for fertilization, which increases the chances of pregnancy
manifold.
2. You can decide the timing of pregnancy: For the couples who are
career-oriented or for those who
have typical life situations, they can decide the timing of the pregnancy. IVFtechnique has the advantage of cryopreserving the eggs or the embryos by maintaining
them at very low temperatures. You can decide the time when you want your child
to be born and accordingly proceed with the further IVF procedure.
3. Donated eggs/sperms can be used: In some cases, the parents may not be able to produce viable
eggs or sperms themselves and a fertility specialist may recommend the use of donated
eggs or sperms or both.
4. Lower chances of miscarriage: The most common cause of miscarriage of pregnancy is a
genetic abnormality, due to which the pregnancy gets terminated naturally.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a procedure that is used to identify
abnormalities in embryos, before transferring them to the woman’s uterus. PGT
used in conjunction with IVF reduces the chances of miscarriage.
Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) screens embryos for chromosomal
disorders and the chances of successful outcome increase, as only unaffected
embryos are used.
5. Technique useful for a range of patients: This technique is not limited to the
use by infertile women only. It can be used by surrogate mothers, same-sex
partners, single women, and those women who are not able to carry the baby
full-term.
6. Successful in patients with PCOS: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a medical condition in
which there is hormonal imbalance leading to irregular menstrual cycles. Such
patients do not conceive with ovulation induction, and IVF has proved very
successful in such patients.
7. Safest and the most viable solution to infertility: IVF technique works where other
fertility treatments and medications fail. In some cases of infertility like
blocked fallopian tubes, or advanced age of woman, the doctor may straightway
recommend IVF.
