Infertility is the inability to conceive a child for two or more years, provided that the partners have regular sexual activity and do not use contraceptives.
More and more couples prefer infertility treatment and IVF abroad. Israel, Germany, USA: clinics there have modern equipment and highly qualified specialists who take on even the most difficult cases.
Diagnosis of infertility
To determine the cause of infertility, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination of both partners, including:
- blood, urine, and semen tests;
- genetic tests;
- immunological and hormonal examinations;
Methods of infertility treatment abroad
Among the most popular methods of infertility treatment abroad:
- Drug therapy is aimed at eliminating hormonal disorders, stimulating ovulation, and the growth of follicles and eggs.;
- Surgical intervention is the restoration of patency of the fallopian tubes for women or the vas deferens for men.
In foreign medicine, such a concept as cryopreservation is used — the freezing of eggs and spermatozoa in liquid nitrogen. The main indication for this procedure is the upcoming treatment, which can lead to infertility. Frozen cells and tissues will be able to function quite successfully after defrosting, at the end of treatment.
IVF abroad
The most popular method of infertility treatment today is IVF, in vitro fertilization. This procedure involves the fusion of an egg and a sperm cell outside the body of the expectant mother, followed by the transfer of the resulting embryo into the uterus.
Before all these manipulations, a woman needs to undergo special training — a protocol. There are several types of protocols, including long and short Japanese. The last one is gentle ovarian stimulation with a minimal dose of hormonal drugs. Such training can last for several months and significantly increases the likelihood of successful IVF.
In the IVF procedure, it is also very important that the embryo is fixed in the uterine wall. To increase the probability of a successful IVF outcome abroad, the method of assisted hatching is used — artificial opening of an already fertilized egg to facilitate embryo implantation.
