TTH Shares The Power and Potential Behind IVF

Infertility is a struggle that many endure silently. However, with recent advancements in medicinal technologies, it is now possible for individuals to overcome infertility barriers and realize their dreams of starting a family. World-renowned treatments such as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) are leading revolutionary change in the battle against infertility, both at home and abroad. The number of infertile couples seeking IVF in the Maldives has increased in recent years with success rates improving gradually annually.
 
IVF is a process where an egg cell is removed from a women's body and fertilized outside before transferring the embryo back to the uterus. During IVF, fertilized eggs are kept in a culture disk for several days after treatment prior to their implantation in the uterus. In most cases, IVF has proven to have a promising success rate of 30-40% but can vary from individual to individual depending on several factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle choices and other existing illnesses.
 
The treatment is typically recommended to couples who have struggled to conceive naturally for at least a year or more. It is also highly advised for couples to undergo IVF treatment if women have blocked fallopian tubes or suffer from endometriosis. Similarly, men with low sperm counts and sperm motility are also suggested to opt for IVF to conceive. Additionally, IVF has numerous advantages to it as well, including having greater control over the timing of the pregnancy and getting the chance to genetically screen embryos prior to their implantation, reducing the risk of passing on adverse genetic disorders to the baby.
 
Despite its positive implications, IVF carries its risks, although the occurrence of them is extremely small. The most significant one is the potential of multiple pregnancies, which can raise the risk of complications such as preterm labour and low birth weight in newborn babies. Likewise, there is also a risk of developing Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS) - a condition where the ovaries become swollen and painful. However, these risks can be avoided and minimized through careful monitoring and management.
 
Like any medical procedure, the risks associated with IVF far outweigh the benefits it has brought for couples by helping them to conceive. For someone battling infertility, IVF is a suitable option worth exploring and speaking with a fertility specialist can help broaden your understanding of the subject.
