Best IVF Specialist in Bangalore


IVF and IUI are both Assisted Reproductive Technology methods aimed at helping couples facing fertility issues. Infertility causes a great deal of suffering for both men and women because of not being able to conceive.

IVF treatment
The literal meaning of “in vitro” is “in glass”. IVF treatment involves fusion of eggs from the female and sperms from the male outside the body in an artificial environment. Few reasons for conducting In Vitro Fertilization are bilateral tubal damage and azoospermia.

IVF treatment involves providing medications to the female for maturing more than one egg in each cycle. During pre ovulation stage, the physician retrieves the egg and fuses them with the sperm of the partner or donor in the laboratory. The embryo formed is later transferred to the uterus of the women for implantation. The pregnancy may be confirmed post blood tests.

Steps involved in IVF
A)    Ovary stimulation for producing multiple eggs
The physician prescribes medications based on the treatment plan which helps in ovary stimulation.
B)    Egg retrieval
This procedure takes less than 20 minutes and is usually painless. Ultrasound machine is used to identify the ovaries.
C)    Egg fertilization under laboratory conditions
The eggs and sperms are placed in a dish for fertilization
D)    Embryo transfer.
Embryo is placed in the uterus for establishing pregnancy.

IUI
Intrauterine Insemination is also called as artificial insemination. Prior to insemination, the sperms are washed and stored which are then inserted and placed into the uterus with the help of a catheter. The IUI method drastically increases the amount of sperms that reaches the fallopian tube thereby increasing the chance of fertilization.
Some of the conditions that require IUI treatment are reduced sperm motility, low sperm count and poor cervical health. The entire procedure is timed according to a women’s ovulation. The entire procedure may be performed multiple times in a day post detection of ovulation.

At NU Fertility, best intrauterine insemination procedures are followed adhering to strict medical protocols.

Steps involved in IUI
The best intrauterine insemination procedure involves the following steps
A)    Pretreatment counseling and testing for IUI
The doctor may advice tests such as semen analysis, ultrasound scans and hormone tests.
B)    Ovary stimulation
At this stage, oral medications such as Clomid and Femara may be given to stimulate the ovaries. When oral medications fail, injectable gonadotropins may be given.
C)    Ovulation monitoring
The doctor monitors for the sign of ovulation for ensuring the right time of insemination.
D)    Insemination procedure
The doctor collects the stored semen and inserts it into the uterus by using a catheter.
E)     Luteal support
This step involves administration of medications for increasing the success rate of implantation.

These are the best intrauterine insemination procedures that are followed at NU Fertility.
The doctor at NU Fertility may advice you on the treatment method based on the condition after a detailed examination.
