This process aims to increase the chances of successful conception by promoting the release of mature eggs. Monitoring through ultrasound and hormonal assessments helps healthcare professionals adjust the medication dosage for optimal results. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is often utilized in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to improve the likelihood of pregnancy in individuals experiencing fertility challenges.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Who can use Ovulation Induction?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are some indications for ovulation induction:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Women with anovulatory cycles : </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anovulation is a condition where the ovaries do not release an egg regularly, leading to irregular or absent menstrual cycles. Ovulation induction helps stimulate the ovaries to release eggs, improving the chances of conception.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Luteal phase defect: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After ovulation, the luteal phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle. A luteal phase defect occurs when this phase is too short, potentially leading to difficulties in implantation and maintaining a pregnancy.  </span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Unexplained infertility: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases where the cause of infertility cannot be identified through routine diagnostic tests, ovulation induction may be considered as treatment.  </span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCOS is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, often leading to irregular ovulation or anovulation. Ovulation induction is commonly used in PCOS patients to regulate ovulation and increase the likelihood of pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><b>Which conditions could affect the Ovulation Induction process?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note certain medical conditions women face concerning their reproductive system could not be favourable for ovulation induction. Following are the 8 conditions in women that can complicate the process of ovulation induction</span><b>:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">i)</span> <b>Ovarian cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If a woman has large ovarian cysts, ovulation induction may be contraindicated. The presence of cysts can complicate the response to ovulation-inducing medications.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ii)</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">   </span><b>Severe endometriosis:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. In cases of severe endometriosis, ovulation induction may not be the best option.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iii)</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">    </span><b>Blocked fallopian tubes:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the fallopian tubes are completely blocked, ovulation induction may not lead to pregnancy as the eggs may not be able to travel to the uterus for fertilization.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iv)</span> <b>Unexplained infertility: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, when the cause of infertility is unclear, ovulation induction may not be the first-line treatment.  </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">v)</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">   </span><b>History of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS):</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Women who have experienced severe OHSS in the past may be advised not to opt for ovulation induction due to the risk of recurrence.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vi)</span> <b>Uterine abnormalities:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Structural abnormalities of the uterus may impact the success of ovulation induction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vii)</span> <b>Hormone-dependent cancers: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions such as breast or ovarian cancer that are hormone-dependent may be a contraindication for ovulation induction due to the use of hormonal medications.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">viii)</span> <b>Uncontrolled thyroid disorders or other endocrine disorders:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Poorly controlled thyroid disorders or other hormonal imbalances may affect the response to ovulation-inducing drugs.</span>\r\n<h2><b>Benefits of Ovulation Induction</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are some of the potential benefits of ovulation induction:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Increased chances of conception:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction aims to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilization. This can be especially helpful for couples struggling with infertility due to irregular or absent ovulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Controlled and monitored cycle:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction allows healthcare providers to closely monitor the woman\'s menstrual cycle, making it easier to predict and time ovulation accurately. This precision enhances the chances of successful conception, as it allows optimal timing of intercourse or other assisted reproductive techniques.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Treatment for ovulatory disorders:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction is often used to address conditions such as PCOS or anovulation, where the ovaries do not release eggs regularly.  </span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Customizable treatment:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction can be tailored to the individual\'s needs. The dosage and duration of medications can be adjusted based on the woman\'s response, allowing a personalized and optimized treatment plan.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Minimally invasive: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is a relatively non-invasive procedure compared to more complex fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves the administration of medications (often oral or injectable fertility drugs) to stimulate the ovaries, without the need for surgery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Cost-effective:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In comparison to some other fertility treatments, ovulation induction tends to be more cost-effective. This makes it a more accessible option for couples seeking fertility assistance.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Natural conception:</b> Ovulation induction increases the chances of natural conception, allowing couples to conceive without the need for more advanced assisted reproductive technologies.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Ovulation Induction Process\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following is the step-by-step ovulation induction process:\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1394\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/200-2.jpg\" alt=\"Ovulation Induction Process - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Initial evaluation: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting ovulation induction, a thorough evaluation of the patient\'s medical history, menstrual cycle, hormone levels, and any underlying fertility issues is conducted.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Baseline hormone assessment: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood tests are often performed on specific days of the menstrual cycle to measure hormone levels, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian reserve testing:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovarian reserve is assessed to determine the quantity and quality of a woman\'s remaining eggs. This is often done through antral follicle count (AFC) using ultrasound and/or AMH levels.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovulation monitoring:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation is monitored closely through hormonal assays and ultrasound scans to track the growth of ovarian follicles, which are fluid-filled sacs that contain eggs. Monitoring helps determine the optimal time for triggering ovulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovulation induction medications:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fertility medications, such as clomiphene citrate, letrozole or gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone), are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries and promote the development of multiple follicles.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ultrasound monitoring:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regular transvaginal ultrasound scans are performed to visualize the ovaries and measure the size and number of developing follicles. This helps adjust medication dosages and determine the timing of ovulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Triggering ovulation:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the follicles reach an optimal size, an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is administered to trigger the final maturation and release of eggs from the follicles.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Timed intercourse or ART:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Depending on the underlying fertility issues, the couple may be advised to have timed intercourse or undergo procedures like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF to increase the chances of successful conception.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Luteal phase support:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After ovulation, hormonal support may be provided in the form of progesterone to prepare the uterine lining for embryo implantation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li> <b>Monitoring and pregnancy testing:</b> The patient is monitored for signs of pregnancy, and a blood test or home pregnancy test is performed if there is a suspicion of pregnancy.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Side Effects of Ovulation Induction</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following are some common side effects of ovulation induction:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Abdominal discomfort: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some women may experience bloating or discomfort in the pelvic region due to enlarged ovaries.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Hot flashes:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction medications, particularly those containing gonadotropins, may cause hot flashes, similar to menopausal symptoms.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Mood swings:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hormonal changes during ovulation induction can affect mood, leading to irritability or mood swings.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Breast tenderness:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Increased levels of estrogen can cause breast tenderness or swelling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Nausea or vomiting:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some women may experience nausea or vomiting as a side effect of the medications.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Headaches:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hormonal changes may trigger headaches in some individuals.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Fatigue:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some women may feel more tired than usual during the treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Injection site reactions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If injectable medications are used, there may be local reactions at the injection site, such as redness, swelling, or pain.</span></li>\r\n 	<li> <b>Multiple pregnancies:</b> Ovulation induction increases the risk of multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets. Multiple pregnancies carry a higher risk of complications for both the mother and the babies.</li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS):</b> This is a rare complication where the ovaries become swollen and painful. In severe cases, it can lead to fluid accumulation in the abdomen and chest, causing difficulty in breathing and also, dehydration. It can be prevented by adequate monitoring while stimulating the ovaries.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize, </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ovulation-induction\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ovulation induction</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a fertility treatment method, involves stimulating the ovaries to release eggs.

a simple and minimally invasive medical procedure, used to stimulate the release of eggs from a woman\'s ovaries. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically employed in fertility treatments, it involves the administration of hormonal medications to enhance follicular development and trigger ovulation. This process aims to increase the chances of successful conception by promoting the release of mature eggs. Monitoring through ultrasound and hormonal assessments helps healthcare professionals adjust the medication dosage for optimal results. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is often utilized in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to improve the likelihood of pregnancy in individuals experiencing fertility challenges.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Who can use Ovulation Induction?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are some indications for ovulation induction:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Women with anovulatory cycles : </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anovulation is a condition where the ovaries do not release an egg regularly, leading to irregular or absent menstrual cycles. Ovulation induction helps stimulate the ovaries to release eggs, improving the chances of conception.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Luteal phase defect: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After ovulation, the luteal phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle. A luteal phase defect occurs when this phase is too short, potentially leading to difficulties in implantation and maintaining a pregnancy.  </span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Unexplained infertility: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases where the cause of infertility cannot be identified through routine diagnostic tests, ovulation induction may be considered as treatment.  </span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCOS is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, often leading to irregular ovulation or anovulation. Ovulation induction is commonly used in PCOS patients to regulate ovulation and increase the likelihood of pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><b>Which conditions could affect the Ovulation Induction process?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note certain medical conditions women face concerning their reproductive system could not be favourable for ovulation induction. Following are the 8 conditions in women that can complicate the process of ovulation induction</span><b>:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">i)</span> <b>Ovarian cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If a woman has large ovarian cysts, ovulation induction may be contraindicated. The presence of cysts can complicate the response to ovulation-inducing medications.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ii)</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">   </span><b>Severe endometriosis:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. In cases of severe endometriosis, ovulation induction may not be the best option.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iii)</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">    </span><b>Blocked fallopian tubes:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the fallopian tubes are completely blocked, ovulation induction may not lead to pregnancy as the eggs may not be able to travel to the uterus for fertilization.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iv)</span> <b>Unexplained infertility: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, when the cause of infertility is unclear, ovulation induction may not be the first-line treatment.  </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">v)</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">   </span><b>History of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS):</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Women who have experienced severe OHSS in the past may be advised not to opt for ovulation induction due to the risk of recurrence.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vi)</span> <b>Uterine abnormalities:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Structural abnormalities of the uterus may impact the success of ovulation induction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vii)</span> <b>Hormone-dependent cancers: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions such as breast or ovarian cancer that are hormone-dependent may be a contraindication for ovulation induction due to the use of hormonal medications.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">viii)</span> <b>Uncontrolled thyroid disorders or other endocrine disorders:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Poorly controlled thyroid disorders or other hormonal imbalances may affect the response to ovulation-inducing drugs.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Benefits of Ovulation Induction</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are some of the potential benefits of ovulation induction:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Increased chances of conception:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction aims to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilization. This can be especially helpful for couples struggling with infertility due to irregular or absent ovulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Controlled and monitored cycle:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction allows healthcare providers to closely monitor the woman\'s menstrual cycle, making it easier to predict and time ovulation accurately. This precision enhances the chances of successful conception, as it allows optimal timing of intercourse or other assisted reproductive techniques.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Treatment for ovulatory disorders:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction is often used to address conditions such as PCOS or anovulation, where the ovaries do not release eggs regularly.  </span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Customizable treatment:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction can be tailored to the individual\'s needs. The dosage and duration of medications can be adjusted based on the woman\'s response, allowing a personalized and optimized treatment plan.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Minimally invasive: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is a relatively non-invasive procedure compared to more complex fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves the administration of medications (often oral or injectable fertility drugs) to stimulate the ovaries, without the need for surgery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Cost-effective:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In comparison to some other fertility treatments, ovulation induction tends to be more cost-effective. This makes it a more accessible option for couples seeking fertility assistance.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Natural conception:</b> Ovulation induction increases the chances of natural conception, allowing couples to conceive without the need for more advanced assisted reproductive technologies.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Ovulation Induction Process\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following is the step-by-step ovulation induction process:\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1394\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/200-2.jpg\" alt=\"Ovulation Induction Process - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Initial evaluation: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting ovulation induction, a thorough evaluation of the patient\'s medical history, menstrual cycle, hormone levels, and any underlying fertility issues is conducted.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Baseline hormone assessment: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood tests are often performed on specific days of the menstrual cycle to measure hormone levels, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian reserve testing:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovarian reserve is assessed to determine the quantity and quality of a woman\'s remaining eggs. This is often done through antral follicle count (AFC) using ultrasound and/or AMH levels.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovulation monitoring:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation is monitored closely through hormonal assays and ultrasound scans to track the growth of ovarian follicles, which are fluid-filled sacs that contain eggs. Monitoring helps determine the optimal time for triggering ovulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovulation induction medications:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fertility medications, such as clomiphene citrate, letrozole or gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone), are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries and promote the development of multiple follicles.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ultrasound monitoring:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regular transvaginal ultrasound scans are performed to visualize the ovaries and measure the size and number of developing follicles. This helps adjust medication dosages and determine the timing of ovulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Triggering ovulation:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the follicles reach an optimal size, an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is administered to trigger the final maturation and release of eggs from the follicles.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Timed intercourse or ART:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Depending on the underlying fertility issues, the couple may be advised to have timed intercourse or undergo procedures like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF to increase the chances of successful conception.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Luteal phase support:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After ovulation, hormonal support may be provided in the form of progesterone to prepare the uterine lining for embryo implantation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li> <b>Monitoring and pregnancy testing:</b> The patient is monitored for signs of pregnancy, and a blood test or home pregnancy test is performed if there is a suspicion of pregnancy.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%\"><b>Side Effects of Ovulation Induction</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following are some common side effects of ovulation induction:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Abdominal discomfort: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some women may experience bloating or discomfort in the pelvic region due to enlarged ovaries.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Hot flashes:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ovulation induction medications, particularly those containing gonadotropins, may cause hot flashes, similar to menopausal symptoms.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Mood swings:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hormonal changes during ovulation induction can affect mood, leading to irritability or mood swings.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Breast tenderness:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Increased levels of estrogen can cause breast tenderness or swelling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Nausea or vomiting:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some women may experience nausea or vomiting as a side effect of the medications.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Headaches:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hormonal changes may trigger headaches in some individuals.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Fatigue:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some women may feel more tired than usual during the treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Injection site reactions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If injectable medications are used, there may be local reactions at the injection site, such as redness, swelling, or pain.</span></li>\r\n 	<li> <b>Multiple pregnancies:</b> Ovulation induction increases the risk of multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets. Multiple pregnancies carry a higher risk of complications for both the mother and the babies.</li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS):</b> This is a rare complication where the ovaries become swollen and painful. In severe cases, it can lead to fluid accumulation in the abdomen and chest, causing difficulty in breathing and also, dehydration. It can be prevented by adequate monitoring while stimulating the ovaries.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize, </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ovulation-induction\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ovulation induction</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a fertility treatment method, involves stimulating the ovaries to release eggs.

technology (ART) includes fertility treatments that involves handling either eggs or embryos. Two distinct procedures of ART that are now being widely opted by couples facing problems in conception are </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro maturation (IVM)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. IVM is relatively newer than IVF and there have been very fewer births with IVM when compared to the latter. Since both these procedures work towards the same outcome, the question arises as to choosing the better option out of the two. In this blog, we look into all the aspects of IVM and IVF that can help you consider one as a viable treatment option.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>IVM vs. IVF: How it works</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1146\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2-min-1.jpg\" alt=\"Egg Fertilization Process - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>In vitro maturation (IVM)</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; width: 100%\">This is an ART technique that involves collecting eggs from a woman before they attain maturation with the help of hormonal injections. After collection, these eggs are then matured in culture with the help of hormones. Once the eggs are matured, they are manually fertilized using a process called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Finally, they are transferred into the womanâs womb where they begin to develop if pregnancy occurs.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>In vitro fertilization (IVF)</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another ART technique whereby an egg is fertilized by the sperm in a test tube, outside the body, under laboratory conditions. Once the procedure is done, one or more of the fertilized eggs (embryos) is placed inside the uterus for the development of the baby. IVF can be done using the coupleâs own eggs and sperms or ones taken from a known or unknown donor.  On an average, the entire procedure of IVF lasts for about four to six weeks.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Factors impacting IVM or IVF</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several factors to consider before choosing to undergo IVM or IVF. Some of these are as follows:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Age: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who are below 35 years have a greater success rate with ART treatments. For those over 40, IVF is the better treatment of choice.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>History of previous pregnancy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of failed IVM or IVF cycles previously also impacts the present pregnancy outcomes.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle factors: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking and alcohol consumption can hamper the results of IVM and IVF. If either of the partners has any one of these habits, it is better to quit before undergoing these procedures.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Underlying health conditions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you or your partner suffers from lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure, it is vital to bring that under control first.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Advantages and disadvantages of IVM and IVF</b></h2>\r\n<b>Advantages of IVM</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process mitigates the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk females.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires the use of less medication for stimulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stimulation with the use of IVM is of a shorter duration, requires fewer injections, and less monitoring.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is comparatively cheaper, reducing financial, and emotional burden.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVM is effective in patients who have a history of repeated assisted reproduction failure arising due to resistant ovary syndrome.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<b>Disadvantages of IVM</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In IVM, a high level of attrition is observed from oocyte to blastocyst stage.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since only a relatively small number of children have been conceived using IVM, information about safety regarding malformation and developmental outcomes is not yet fully known.              Thus, IVM success rate cannot be fully ratified.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eggs retrieved via IVM are extremely sensitive and require careful handling in the laboratory.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><b>Advantages of IVF</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the most effective type of fertility treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is best suited for women who are above 40 years.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><b>Disadvantages of IVF</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is a time-consuming, expensive, and invasive procedure.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can sometimes result in multiple pregnancies if more than one embryo is placed in the uterus.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires women to undergo multiple hormonal injections during the egg retrieval process.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are greater chances of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and premature delivery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of side effects such as hot flushes and headaches are caused from the medicines used during treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be bruising caused from IVF injections.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As every patient and circumstance is unique, while choosing to opt for either IVM or IVF, it is advisable that you consult a fertility specialist to go over your medical history and to determine the best course of action. To conclude, it is not advised to use IVM treatment in place of traditional IVF as it is still regarded as experimental. However, IVM is an alternate treatment option in some circumstances, especially when traditional IVF is not feasible. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all answer, and that your decision should support your desire to start a family in the long run, as well as your medical and emotional needs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility @ NU Hospitals is a forerunner in assisted reproductive technology methods such as IVM and IVF.

technology (ART) includes fertility treatments that involves handling either eggs or embryos. Two distinct procedures of ART that are now being widely opted by couples facing problems in conception are </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro maturation (IVM)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. IVM is relatively newer than IVF and there have been very fewer births with IVM when compared to the latter. Since both these procedures work towards the same outcome, the question arises as to choosing the better option out of the two. In this blog, we look into all the aspects of IVM and IVF that can help you consider one as a viable treatment option.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>IVM vs. IVF: How it works</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1146\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2-min-1.jpg\" alt=\"Egg Fertilization Process - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>In vitro maturation (IVM)</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; width: 100%\">This is an ART technique that involves collecting eggs from a woman before they attain maturation with the help of hormonal injections. After collection, these eggs are then matured in culture with the help of hormones. Once the eggs are matured, they are manually fertilized using a process called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Finally, they are transferred into the womanâs womb where they begin to develop if pregnancy occurs.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>In vitro fertilization (IVF)</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another ART technique whereby an egg is fertilized by the sperm in a test tube, outside the body, under laboratory conditions. Once the procedure is done, one or more of the fertilized eggs (embryos) is placed inside the uterus for the development of the baby. IVF can be done using the coupleâs own eggs and sperms or ones taken from a known or unknown donor.  On an average, the entire procedure of IVF lasts for about four to six weeks.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Factors impacting IVM or IVF</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several factors to consider before choosing to undergo IVM or IVF. Some of these are as follows:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Age: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who are below 35 years have a greater success rate with ART treatments. For those over 40, IVF is the better treatment of choice.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>History of previous pregnancy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of failed IVM or IVF cycles previously also impacts the present pregnancy outcomes.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle factors: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking and alcohol consumption can hamper the results of IVM and IVF. If either of the partners has any one of these habits, it is better to quit before undergoing these procedures.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Underlying health conditions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you or your partner suffers from lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure, it is vital to bring that under control first.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Advantages and disadvantages of IVM and IVF</b></h2>\r\n<b>Advantages of IVM</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process mitigates the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk females.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires the use of less medication for stimulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stimulation with the use of IVM is of a shorter duration, requires fewer injections, and less monitoring.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is comparatively cheaper, reducing financial, and emotional burden.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVM is effective in patients who have a history of repeated assisted reproduction failure arising due to resistant ovary syndrome.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<b>Disadvantages of IVM</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In IVM, a high level of attrition is observed from oocyte to blastocyst stage.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since only a relatively small number of children have been conceived using IVM, information about safety regarding malformation and developmental outcomes is not yet fully known.              Thus, IVM success rate cannot be fully ratified.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eggs retrieved via IVM are extremely sensitive and require careful handling in the laboratory.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><b>Advantages of IVF</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the most effective type of fertility treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is best suited for women who are above 40 years.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><b>Disadvantages of IVF</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is a time-consuming, expensive, and invasive procedure.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can sometimes result in multiple pregnancies if more than one embryo is placed in the uterus.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires women to undergo multiple hormonal injections during the egg retrieval process.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are greater chances of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and premature delivery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of side effects such as hot flushes and headaches are caused from the medicines used during treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be bruising caused from IVF injections.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As every patient and circumstance is unique, while choosing to opt for either IVM or IVF, it is advisable that you consult a fertility specialist to go over your medical history and to determine the best course of action. To conclude, it is not advised to use IVM treatment in place of traditional IVF as it is still regarded as experimental. However, IVM is an alternate treatment option in some circumstances, especially when traditional IVF is not feasible. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all answer, and that your decision should support your desire to start a family in the long run, as well as your medical and emotional needs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility @ NU Hospitals is a forerunner in assisted reproductive technology methods such as IVM and IVF.

technology (ART) includes fertility treatments that involves handling either eggs or embryos. Two distinct procedures of ART that are now being widely opted by couples facing problems in conception are </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro maturation (IVM)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. IVM is relatively newer than IVF and there have been very fewer births with IVM when compared to the latter. Since both these procedures work towards the same outcome, the question arises as to choosing the better option out of the two. In this blog, we look into all the aspects of IVM and IVF that can help you consider one as a viable treatment option.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>IVM vs. IVF: How it works</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1146\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2-min-1.jpg\" alt=\"Egg Fertilization Process - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>In vitro maturation (IVM)</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; width: 100%\">This is an ART technique that involves collecting eggs from a woman before they attain maturation with the help of hormonal injections. After collection, these eggs are then matured in culture with the help of hormones. Once the eggs are matured, they are manually fertilized using a process called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Finally, they are transferred into the womanâs womb where they begin to develop if pregnancy occurs.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>In vitro fertilization (IVF)</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another ART technique whereby an egg is fertilized by the sperm in a test tube, outside the body, under laboratory conditions. Once the procedure is done, one or more of the fertilized eggs (embryos) is placed inside the uterus for the development of the baby. IVF can be done using the coupleâs own eggs and sperms or ones taken from a known or unknown donor.  On an average, the entire procedure of IVF lasts for about four to six weeks.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Factors impacting IVM or IVF</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several factors to consider before choosing to undergo IVM or IVF. Some of these are as follows:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Age: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who are below 35 years have a greater success rate with ART treatments. For those over 40, IVF is the better treatment of choice.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>History of previous pregnancy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of failed IVM or IVF cycles previously also impacts the present pregnancy outcomes.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle factors: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking and alcohol consumption can hamper the results of IVM and IVF. If either of the partners has any one of these habits, it is better to quit before undergoing these procedures.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Underlying health conditions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you or your partner suffers from lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure, it is vital to bring that under control first.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Advantages and disadvantages of IVM and IVF</b></h2>\r\n<b>Advantages of IVM</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process mitigates the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk females.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires the use of less medication for stimulation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stimulation with the use of IVM is of a shorter duration, requires fewer injections, and less monitoring.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is comparatively cheaper, reducing financial, and emotional burden.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVM is effective in patients who have a history of repeated assisted reproduction failure arising due to resistant ovary syndrome.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<b>Disadvantages of IVM</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In IVM, a high level of attrition is observed from oocyte to blastocyst stage.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since only a relatively small number of children have been conceived using IVM, information about safety regarding malformation and developmental outcomes is not yet fully known.              Thus, IVM success rate cannot be fully ratified.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eggs retrieved via IVM are extremely sensitive and require careful handling in the laboratory.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><b>Advantages of IVF</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the most effective type of fertility treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is best suited for women who are above 40 years.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><b>Disadvantages of IVF</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is a time-consuming, expensive, and invasive procedure.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can sometimes result in multiple pregnancies if more than one embryo is placed in the uterus.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires women to undergo multiple hormonal injections during the egg retrieval process.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are greater chances of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and premature delivery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of side effects such as hot flushes and headaches are caused from the medicines used during treatment.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be bruising caused from IVF injections.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As every patient and circumstance is unique, while choosing to opt for either IVM or IVF, it is advisable that you consult a fertility specialist to go over your medical history and to determine the best course of action. To conclude, it is not advised to use IVM treatment in place of traditional IVF as it is still regarded as experimental. However, IVM is an alternate treatment option in some circumstances, especially when traditional IVF is not feasible. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all answer, and that your decision should support your desire to start a family in the long run, as well as your medical and emotional needs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility @ NU Hospitals is a forerunner in assisted reproductive technology methods such as IVM and IVF.

is one of the assisted reproductive technologies that has taken the medical world by storm. Cited as a boon of new-age technological advancements, IVF is a means of turning the dreams of numerous childless couples into a reality. IVF has been used more often as a first line of therapy for some causes of infertility in recent years due to its high success rate. So, what makes IVF unique and what are the statistics associated with it? This blog delves into the facts and figures surrounding IVF. Read ahead to know more.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"><b>What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure of combining a womanâs egg with a manâs sperm in a petri dish under laboratory conditions is called in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves a series of 5 basic steps as mentioned below:</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b>Stimulation/Super ovulation: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using fertility drugs, several eggs are produced at a time instead of a single egg per month. This step requires a woman to undergo a few transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests to check the hormone levels.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Egg retrieval:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Through a minor surgery, called follicular aspiration, eggs are removed from the womanâs body. A thin needle is inserted through the vagina into the ovarian follicles. Now, using a suction device, the eggs, along with the fluid are taken out of each follicle, one at a time.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Insemination and fertilization:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mixing of the manâs sperm with the best quality eggs is called insemination. The fused egg and sperm are stored in an environmentally controlled chamber. Usually, the sperm enters or fertilizes the egg within a few hours after insemination. However, in cases where the chance of fertilization is low, the sperm is directly injected into the egg by means of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Embryo culture:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After 5 days of fertilization, the embryo develops into a blastocyst, which has several actively dividing cells. It is during this step that the embryo is screened for specific genetic disorders as well.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Embryo transfer:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Embryos are placed into the womanâs womb 3 to 5 days after egg retrieval and fertilization. Using a thin tube called catheter, the embryos are introduced into the womanâs vagina, through the cervix, right up to the womb. If the embryo implants into the lining of the womb, pregnancy is said to take place.</span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"><b>Conditions where IVF is used</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In vitro fertilization is especially useful in the following conditions:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absence of fallopian tubes</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced age of woman (over 35 years)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endometriosis</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male factor infertility</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azoospermia ( absence of sperms in ejaculate)</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oligospermia (less than normal sperms in ejaculate)</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erection or ejaculation problems</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unexplained infertility</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple cycles of failed ovulation induction/ IUI</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"> <b>IVF Failure Reasons</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1144\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Shutterstock_2317504199-min.jpg\" alt=\"Couple Disappointed with IVF Failures - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever thought about the reasons behind the failure of IVF? Read below to find out.</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b></b><b>Age of female: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With increasing age of a woman, the quality and quantity of her eggs falls down.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Quality of embryo: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though an embryo seems healthy in the lab, there\'s a chance that it won\'t implant into the uterus because of other reasons.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian response:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If a poor ovarian response happens to a daily injection of fertility hormones, it may pose difficulties in the progress of IVF procedure.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Implantation issues: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the inability of the embryo to implant itself in the uterus. Uterine polyps, an early rise in progesterone, an excessively thin endometrial lining, or uterine infection could all be the cause of this.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Smoking negatively impacts fertility.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Chromosomal abnormalities:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometimes, IVF can fail if the embryos have chromosomal anomalies. This is mostly the case with women over the age of 35 years.</span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>IVF Facts Sheet</b></span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some interesting metrics surrounding IVF technique:</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b>Success rate:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In India, many fertility clinics in India have shown results that are 70 â 80% successful if the woman undergoing IVF is below 35 years. For those over 40 years, the success rate is reduced to 40-50%.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Age: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been observed that women of lower age groups, are most likely to have higher IVF success rates when compared to their older counterparts. Females in their 20s have higher success rates of pregnancy as this is the period when they are most fertile. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, women under 35 years have a 52% chance of attaining pregnancy with just one round of IVF. </span>For women in their 40s, there is approximately 20% chances that the IVF cycle will work and 14% if going for live birth. Those over 45 years and still wishing to conceive, have only a 3% chance of achieving pregnancy by an IVF treatment and only 1% for the live birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><b>Number of embryos: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number and quality of the embryos are one of the biggest deciding factors for the success of an IVF treatment. Usage of poor quality embryos is, by far, the reason why most IVF treatments fail. To eliminate this, techniques like pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD) are used to choose the most efficient embryo for IVF treatment. Single embryo transfers are preferred for healthy pregnancy results. With multiple embryos, there are increased chances of having twins and multiple births.  </span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize briefly, IVF treatments are a highly sought-after option for couples striving to conceive.

is one of the assisted reproductive technologies that has taken the medical world by storm. Cited as a boon of new-age technological advancements, IVF is a means of turning the dreams of numerous childless couples into a reality. IVF has been used more often as a first line of therapy for some causes of infertility in recent years due to its high success rate. So, what makes IVF unique and what are the statistics associated with it? This blog delves into the facts and figures surrounding IVF. Read ahead to know more.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"><b>What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure of combining a womanâs egg with a manâs sperm in a petri dish under laboratory conditions is called in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves a series of 5 basic steps as mentioned below:</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b>Stimulation/Super ovulation: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using fertility drugs, several eggs are produced at a time instead of a single egg per month. This step requires a woman to undergo a few transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests to check the hormone levels.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Egg retrieval:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Through a minor surgery, called follicular aspiration, eggs are removed from the womanâs body. A thin needle is inserted through the vagina into the ovarian follicles. Now, using a suction device, the eggs, along with the fluid are taken out of each follicle, one at a time.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Insemination and fertilization:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mixing of the manâs sperm with the best quality eggs is called insemination. The fused egg and sperm are stored in an environmentally controlled chamber. Usually, the sperm enters or fertilizes the egg within a few hours after insemination. However, in cases where the chance of fertilization is low, the sperm is directly injected into the egg by means of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Embryo culture:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After 5 days of fertilization, the embryo develops into a blastocyst, which has several actively dividing cells. It is during this step that the embryo is screened for specific genetic disorders as well.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Embryo transfer:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Embryos are placed into the womanâs womb 3 to 5 days after egg retrieval and fertilization. Using a thin tube called catheter, the embryos are introduced into the womanâs vagina, through the cervix, right up to the womb.

Read below to find out.</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b></b><b>Age of female: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With increasing age of a woman, the quality and quantity of her eggs falls down.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Quality of embryo: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though an embryo seems healthy in the lab, there\'s a chance that it won\'t implant into the uterus because of other reasons.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian response:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If a poor ovarian response happens to a daily injection of fertility hormones, it may pose difficulties in the progress of IVF procedure.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Implantation issues: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the inability of the embryo to implant itself in the uterus. Uterine polyps, an early rise in progesterone, an excessively thin endometrial lining, or uterine infection could all be the cause of this.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Smoking negatively impacts fertility.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Chromosomal abnormalities:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometimes, IVF can fail if the embryos have chromosomal anomalies. This is mostly the case with women over the age of 35 years.</span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>IVF Facts Sheet</b></span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some interesting metrics surrounding IVF technique:</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b>Success rate:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In India, many fertility clinics in India have shown results that are 70 â 80% successful if the woman undergoing IVF is below 35 years. For those over 40 years, the success rate is reduced to 40-50%.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Age: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been observed that women of lower age groups, are most likely to have higher IVF success rates when compared to their older counterparts. Females in their 20s have higher success rates of pregnancy as this is the period when they are most fertile. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, women under 35 years have a 52% chance of attaining pregnancy with just one round of IVF. </span>For women in their 40s, there is approximately 20% chances that the IVF cycle will work and 14% if going for live birth. Those over 45 years and still wishing to conceive, have only a 3% chance of achieving pregnancy by an IVF treatment and only 1% for the live birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><b>Number of embryos: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number and quality of the embryos are one of the biggest deciding factors for the success of an IVF treatment. Usage of poor quality embryos is, by far, the reason why most IVF treatments fail. To eliminate this, techniques like pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD) are used to choose the most efficient embryo for IVF treatment. Single embryo transfers are preferred for healthy pregnancy results. With multiple embryos, there are increased chances of having twins and multiple births.  </span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize briefly, IVF treatments are a highly sought-after option for couples striving to conceive. The procedure has given hope to numerous individuals as it is a means to achieve pregnancy even if the woman is past the child-bearing age. However, it is important to weigh the pros and cons before opting for IVF.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> @ NU Hospitals is one of the </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top IVF clinics in Bangalore</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, India.

is one of the assisted reproductive technologies that has taken the medical world by storm. Cited as a boon of new-age technological advancements, IVF is a means of turning the dreams of numerous childless couples into a reality. IVF has been used more often as a first line of therapy for some causes of infertility in recent years due to its high success rate. So, what makes IVF unique and what are the statistics associated with it? This blog delves into the facts and figures surrounding IVF. Read ahead to know more.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure of combining a womanâs egg with a manâs sperm in a petri dish under laboratory conditions is called in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves a series of 5 basic steps as mentioned below:</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b>Stimulation/Super ovulation: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using fertility drugs, several eggs are produced at a time instead of a single egg per month. This step requires a woman to undergo a few transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests to check the hormone levels.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Egg retrieval:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Through a minor surgery, called follicular aspiration, eggs are removed from the womanâs body. A thin needle is inserted through the vagina into the ovarian follicles. Now, using a suction device, the eggs, along with the fluid are taken out of each follicle, one at a time.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Insemination and fertilization:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mixing of the manâs sperm with the best quality eggs is called insemination. The fused egg and sperm are stored in an environmentally controlled chamber. Usually, the sperm enters or fertilizes the egg within a few hours after insemination. However, in cases where the chance of fertilization is low, the sperm is directly injected into the egg by means of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Embryo culture:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After 5 days of fertilization, the embryo develops into a blastocyst, which has several actively dividing cells. It is during this step that the embryo is screened for specific genetic disorders as well.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Embryo transfer:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Embryos are placed into the womanâs womb 3 to 5 days after egg retrieval and fertilization. Using a thin tube called catheter, the embryos are introduced into the womanâs vagina, through the cervix, right up to the womb. If the embryo implants into the lining of the womb, pregnancy is said to take place.</span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Conditions where IVF is used</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In vitro fertilization is especially useful in the following conditions:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absence of fallopian tubes</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced age of woman (over 35 years)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endometriosis</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male factor infertility</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azoospermia ( absence of sperms in ejaculate)</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oligospermia (less than normal sperms in ejaculate)</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erection or ejaculation problems</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unexplained infertility</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple cycles of failed ovulation induction/ IUI</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"> <b>IVF Failure Reasons</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1144\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Shutterstock_2317504199-min.jpg\" alt=\"Couple Disappointed with IVF Failures - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever thought about the reasons behind the failure of IVF? Read below to find out.</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b></b><b>Age of female: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With increasing age of a woman, the quality and quantity of her eggs falls down.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Quality of embryo: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though an embryo seems healthy in the lab, there\'s a chance that it won\'t implant into the uterus because of other reasons.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Ovarian response:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If a poor ovarian response happens to a daily injection of fertility hormones, it may pose difficulties in the progress of IVF procedure.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Implantation issues: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the inability of the embryo to implant itself in the uterus. Uterine polyps, an early rise in progesterone, an excessively thin endometrial lining, or uterine infection could all be the cause of this.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Lifestyle:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Smoking negatively impacts fertility.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Chromosomal abnormalities:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometimes, IVF can fail if the embryos have chromosomal anomalies. This is mostly the case with women over the age of 35 years.</span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>IVF Facts Sheet</b></span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some interesting metrics surrounding IVF technique:</span>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><b>Success rate:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In India, many fertility clinics in India have shown results that are 70 â 80% successful if the woman undergoing IVF is below 35 years. For those over 40 years, the success rate is reduced to 40-50%.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Age: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been observed that women of lower age groups, are most likely to have higher IVF success rates when compared to their older counterparts. Females in their 20s have higher success rates of pregnancy as this is the period when they are most fertile. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, women under 35 years have a 52% chance of attaining pregnancy with just one round of IVF. </span>For women in their 40s, there is approximately 20% chances that the IVF cycle will work and 14% if going for live birth. Those over 45 years and still wishing to conceive, have only a 3% chance of achieving pregnancy by an IVF treatment and only 1% for the live birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><b>Number of embryos: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number and quality of the embryos are one of the biggest deciding factors for the success of an IVF treatment. Usage of poor quality embryos is, by far, the reason why most IVF treatments fail. To eliminate this, techniques like pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD) are used to choose the most efficient embryo for IVF treatment. Single embryo transfers are preferred for healthy pregnancy results. With multiple embryos, there are increased chances of having twins and multiple births.  </span></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize briefly, IVF treatments are a highly sought-after option for couples striving to conceive. The procedure has given hope to numerous individuals as it is a means to achieve pregnancy even if the woman is past the child-bearing age. However, it is important to weigh the pros and cons before opting for IVF.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> @ NU Hospitals is one of the </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top IVF clinics in Bangalore</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, India.

were the only option when in vitro fertilization (IVF) was initially introduced due to the limited progress in cryopreservation techniques. However, over the past four decades, significant advancements in cryopreservation, culture media, and reproductive technologies have made both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FETs) widely practiced. Nowadays, FETs are generally preferred, depending on the age of the couple, number of oocytes retrieved, quality of embryos, adequacy of the endometrial lining, and hormonal parameters.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Fresh and frozen embryo transfers: Understanding the differences</b></h2>\r\n<b>Fresh embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fresh embryo transfer is typically scheduled 5 days after the eggs are collected from the patient. In the laboratory, the eggs are fertilized with sperm and the resulting embryo is carefully monitored as it grows. Fresh embryo transfer allows for a shorter time between egg retrieval and transfer into the uterus, increasing the chances of conception. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are certain situations where a fresh embryo transfer is not recommended. If a patient\'s progesterone level is high, it can negatively impact the implantation of the embryo, making a fresh embryo transfer unsuitable. Similarly, if a patient is at risk of hyperstimulation from the medications used to stimulate egg maturation, a fresh transfer could pose a danger to the patient.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Frozen embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frozen embryo transfer typically takes place around 6-8 weeks after the embryo has been frozen. When the patient is ready for the transfer, she will be given medications to simulate a natural menstrual cycle. The FET date is then coordinated with the cycle to improve the chances of successful implantation.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a patient wants to have her embryos tested for genetic abnormalities, a FET becomes necessary. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is conducted shortly after the retrieval of eggs. A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer. This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frozen embryo transfers can also be utilized for future pregnancies even years later, as embryos can be stored indefinitely. Similarly, if a patient wishes to preserve her fertility due to age, cancer treatment, or other reasons, embryos can be created and stored for later use. When the time is right, a FET can be performed.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>The benefits and drawbacks of fresh and frozen embryo transfers</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1142\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/3-min.jpg\" alt=\"Embryo Transfer in Bangalore - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<b>Advantages of fresh embryo transfer</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waiting time for fresh embryo transfer is shorter as embryos are transferred soon after fertilization.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The embryo is not subjected to the stress of freezing and thawing.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh cycles involve the process of ovarian stimulation, which can result in a receptive endometrial lining, if the woman is not a hyper-responder.

the dream of every married woman. However, becoming pregnant sometimes can be more difficult if the woman suffers from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or has ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in the ovaries. Although ovarian cysts do not cause infertility, it may lead to certain medical conditions which can make it difficult to achieve pregnancy. Early diagnosis and timely treatments will help overcome this problem.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of Ovarian cysts</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following are the different types of ovarian cysts that are formed as a result of your menstrual cycle. These are known as functional cysts and are of two types:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Follicular cysts: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, halfway through the menstrual cycle, an egg bursts out of its follicle and travels down the fallopian tube. When this does not happen, a follicular cyst develops which does not rupture to release the egg; instead, it continues to grow.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Corpus luteum cyst: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a follicle releases its egg, it starts producing the hormone progesterone, required for conception. Such a follicle is called corpus luteum. When fluid builds up inside the corpus luteum, it results in a cyst.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some other types of ovarian cysts as well that do not generally affect fertility. These are:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Cystadenomas: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are outgrowths that develop on the surface of the ovaries. They may require treatment. If they grow in size, they may form a mechanical hindrance to getting pregnant.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Dermoid cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the ovarian cyst contains tissue such as skin, hair, or teeth instead of fluid, it is called dermoid cyst. Larger cysts may undergo torsion ()twisting of the ovaries). These require treatment.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><b>Medical conditions often associated with Ovarian cysts</b></h2>\r\n<b>Endometriosis and ovarian cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Endometriosis is a fairly common condition in which tissues that are similar to the inner lining of the uterus, grow on the outside of the uterus as well, such as on the fallopian tubes or the ovaries. About 30-40% of women suffering from endometriosis face the problem of infertility.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and ovarian cysts: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCOS is characterized by pearl-sized cysts or follicles which often lead to infertility in women. Normally, a woman has eggs in her ovaries which get released during ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. These eggs are contained in tiny sacs called follicles that get filled up with fluid as the egg matures. On rupturing, these follicles release the eggs for fertilization.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A woman having PCOS is unable to produce all the hormones required for the eggs to fully mature. Hormonal imbalance in a woman with PCOS interferes with maturation of egg and ovulation. Correction of this imbalance is required to achieve a pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1140\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/4-min.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Pregnant Woman - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><b>Ovarian cysts and pregnancy</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During early stages of pregnancy, ovarian cysts are commonly seen. These are harmless cysts, just like most other ovarian cysts. The problem arises when these cysts continue to grow as well, as the pregnancy progresses. They may interfere with the pregnancy by complications such as rupture. When the functional cysts rupture, it may result in bleeding or excruciating abdominal pain.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Features of malignancy warrant immediate attention.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\"><b>Risk factors for Ovarian cysts</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A woman has higher chances of developing an ovarian cyst with:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Hormonal problems:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These could be related to intake of fertility drugs that cause you to ovulate.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Pregnancy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cysts are common in the first three months of pregnancy. If they persist beyond this, they need evaluation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Endometriosis:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a medical condition where tissue can attach to your ovary and develop into a cyst.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Severe pelvic infection:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the infection spreads to the ovaries, it is most likely to cause cysts.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Previous ovarian cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have had a history of ovarian cysts, you are more likely to have a recurrence.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the cysts present are either cystadenomas or dermoid cysts, they require surgical removal. This surgery is typically harmless, if done by experienced professionals.. Ovary needs to be removed surgically if the cysts are extremely large, complex, or cancerous. Thus, it is important to get the surgery done before you even try to conceive in order to avoid complications in future.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> @ NU hospitals is the best place for </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">female infertility treatment in Bangalore</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

the dream of every married woman. However, becoming pregnant sometimes can be more difficult if the woman suffers from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or has ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in the ovaries. Although ovarian cysts do not cause infertility, it may lead to certain medical conditions which can make it difficult to achieve pregnancy. Early diagnosis and timely treatments will help overcome this problem.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of Ovarian cysts</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following are the different types of ovarian cysts that are formed as a result of your menstrual cycle. These are known as functional cysts and are of two types:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Follicular cysts: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, halfway through the menstrual cycle, an egg bursts out of its follicle and travels down the fallopian tube. When this does not happen, a follicular cyst develops which does not rupture to release the egg; instead, it continues to grow.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Corpus luteum cyst: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a follicle releases its egg, it starts producing the hormone progesterone, required for conception. Such a follicle is called corpus luteum. When fluid builds up inside the corpus luteum, it results in a cyst.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some other types of ovarian cysts as well that do not generally affect fertility. These are:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Cystadenomas: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are outgrowths that develop on the surface of the ovaries. They may require treatment. If they grow in size, they may form a mechanical hindrance to getting pregnant.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Dermoid cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the ovarian cyst contains tissue such as skin, hair, or teeth instead of fluid, it is called dermoid cyst. Larger cysts may undergo torsion ()twisting of the ovaries). These require treatment.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><b>Medical conditions often associated with Ovarian cysts</b></h2>\r\n<b>Endometriosis and ovarian cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Endometriosis is a fairly common condition in which tissues that are similar to the inner lining of the uterus, grow on the outside of the uterus as well, such as on the fallopian tubes or the ovaries. About 30-40% of women suffering from endometriosis face the problem of infertility.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and ovarian cysts: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCOS is characterized by pearl-sized cysts or follicles which often lead to infertility in women. Normally, a woman has eggs in her ovaries which get released during ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. These eggs are contained in tiny sacs called follicles that get filled up with fluid as the egg matures. On rupturing, these follicles release the eggs for fertilization.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A woman having PCOS is unable to produce all the hormones required for the eggs to fully mature. Hormonal imbalance in a woman with PCOS interferes with maturation of egg and ovulation. Correction of this imbalance is required to achieve a pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1140\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/4-min.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Pregnant Woman - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><b>Ovarian cysts and pregnancy</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During early stages of pregnancy, ovarian cysts are commonly seen. These are harmless cysts, just like most other ovarian cysts. The problem arises when these cysts continue to grow as well, as the pregnancy progresses. They may interfere with the pregnancy by complications such as rupture. When the functional cysts rupture, it may result in bleeding or excruciating abdominal pain.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Features of malignancy warrant immediate attention.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Risk factors for Ovarian cysts</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A woman has higher chances of developing an ovarian cyst with:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><b>Hormonal problems:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These could be related to intake of fertility drugs that cause you to ovulate.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Pregnancy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cysts are common in the first three months of pregnancy. If they persist beyond this, they need evaluation.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Endometriosis:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a medical condition where tissue can attach to your ovary and develop into a cyst.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Severe pelvic infection:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the infection spreads to the ovaries, it is most likely to cause cysts.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><b>Previous ovarian cysts:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have had a history of ovarian cysts, you are more likely to have a recurrence.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the cysts present are either cystadenomas or dermoid cysts, they require surgical removal. This surgery is typically harmless, if done by experienced professionals.. Ovary needs to be removed surgically if the cysts are extremely large, complex, or cancerous. Thus, it is important to get the surgery done before you even try to conceive in order to avoid complications in future.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> @ NU hospitals is the best place for </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">female infertility treatment in Bangalore</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

medical condition that affects both the male and female reproductive systems, characterized by the inability to conceive a pregnancy even after engaging in regular unprotected sexual intercourse for a period of 12 months or longer. Various factors can contribute to infertility, including hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, and certain lifestyle choices. Understanding the causes of infertility is crucial in order to seek appropriate medical interventions and explore potential treatment options.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various factors can contribute to infertility, which hinder the ability to conceive even after engaging in carefully timed sexual intercourse for a year or more. Females are born with approximately one million eggs in their ovaries, but the quantity and quality of viable eggs diminish as they age. While male sperm count may not decline with age, the quality and capacity of sperm to successfully fertilize an egg does decrease.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In females, there are several issues that can affect fertility, such as ovulation disorders, cervical abnormalities, fallopian tube blockage, early menopause, pelvic inflammation, or adhesion, as well as cancer and its associated treatments. In males, factors such as abnormal sperm production, problems with sperm delivery, overexposure to certain environmental factors, and damage caused by cancer can impact fertility.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To determine infertility, doctors conduct a series of thorough assessments for both men and women. For men, a semen analysis plays a crucial role in evaluating fertility. Semen analysis is used to examine the sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormonal tests are also conducted to assess testosterone levels and identify any potential endocrine issues that could impact sperm production. Additionally, a physical examination can reveal any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For women, the diagnostic process usually starts with a detailed medical history, including information about their menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, and any past pregnancies. Additionally, gynaecological examinations, such as pelvic ultrasounds, may be performed to identify any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs. Hormonal tests are also conducted to evaluate ovarian function by measuring levels of hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone. Egg reserve can be assessed by AMH test or AFC on pelvic scan. Tubal blockage can be detected performing HSG/SIS/HyCoSY procedures.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1419\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2.jpg\" alt=\"Process for Infertility Treatment - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>With the help of advanced technology, there are now numerous ways to assist individuals dealing with fertility issues. The most suitable options for you will depend on your personal circumstances and the specific cause of your infertility. Sometimes, only one person requires treatment, while in other cases, both partners may need a combination of treatments.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making lifestyle modifications can improve fertility. Maintaining an optimal weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and adhering to a well-balanced diet play a crucial role. Abstaining from tobacco, consuming alcohol in moderation, and effectively managing stress are essential factors in maximizing reproductive well-being.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fertility treatments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often involve the use of medications to regulate hormones and ovulation, sometimes accompanied by minor surgical procedures. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes various procedures that can increase the chances of conceiving a baby. These procedures aim to facilitate the fertilization of an egg by sperm and support the successful implantation of the embryo to the lining of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/iui\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrauterine insemination (IUI)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are two widely used methods for fertility treatment. In IUI, semen is collected, washed to obtain better quality sperms and directly inserted into the uterus during ovulation. On the other hand, IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. Following development into embryos, they are then transferred into the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that can be used alongside assisted conception procedures like IUI and IVF, or on its own. The main goal of this treatment is to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the release of multiple mature eggs during an ovulation cycle. By using specific medications (Clomiphene Citrate,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonadotropins,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aromatase inhibitors) we can regulate and enhance the production of hormones responsible for ovulation. This approach aims to increase the number of eggs available for fertilization, ultimately increasing the chances of successful conception.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain conditions require surgical intervention. Common procedures include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Laparoscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopy is a type of surgery that is often used to treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions. It is a minimally invasive procedure where a small, illuminated tube is inserted through tiny incisions to identify and address problems with the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat any abnormalities within the uterine cavity. It is an effective way to remove or correct polyps, fibroids, septum or adhesions that may be affecting fertility.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Varicocelectomy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In cases where male infertility is attributed to varicoceles, which are enlarged veins in the scrotum, a varicocelectomy is carried out. This surgical procedure is performed to repair the dilated veins and improve blood flow in the testicles. This surgery helps boost sperm production and improves the quality of sperm.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><span>In conclusion, infertility presents a difficult path that affects individuals on both emotional and physical levels. Nevertheless, by adopting a comprehensive strategy that includes medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and diverse reproductive technologies, there are opportunities for conceiving.</span> <span>The success of each treatment method depends on individual circumstances, which is why it is important to seek personalized medical advice. If you and your partner are facing fertility challenges, it is best to consult reproductive specialists who can guide you towards the most suitable course of action for your specific need.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility </span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at NU Hospitals in Shivamogga offers advanced treatment choices for individuals experiencing infertility.

Various factors can contribute to infertility, including hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, and certain lifestyle choices. Understanding the causes of infertility is crucial in order to seek appropriate medical interventions and explore potential treatment options.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various factors can contribute to infertility, which hinder the ability to conceive even after engaging in carefully timed sexual intercourse for a year or more. Females are born with approximately one million eggs in their ovaries, but the quantity and quality of viable eggs diminish as they age. While male sperm count may not decline with age, the quality and capacity of sperm to successfully fertilize an egg does decrease.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In females, there are several issues that can affect fertility, such as ovulation disorders, cervical abnormalities, fallopian tube blockage, early menopause, pelvic inflammation, or adhesion, as well as cancer and its associated treatments. In males, factors such as abnormal sperm production, problems with sperm delivery, overexposure to certain environmental factors, and damage caused by cancer can impact fertility.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To determine infertility, doctors conduct a series of thorough assessments for both men and women. For men, a semen analysis plays a crucial role in evaluating fertility. Semen analysis is used to examine the sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormonal tests are also conducted to assess testosterone levels and identify any potential endocrine issues that could impact sperm production. Additionally, a physical examination can reveal any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For women, the diagnostic process usually starts with a detailed medical history, including information about their menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, and any past pregnancies. Additionally, gynaecological examinations, such as pelvic ultrasounds, may be performed to identify any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs. Hormonal tests are also conducted to evaluate ovarian function by measuring levels of hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone. Egg reserve can be assessed by AMH test or AFC on pelvic scan. Tubal blockage can be detected performing HSG/SIS/HyCoSY procedures.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1419\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2.jpg\" alt=\"Process for Infertility Treatment - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of advanced technology, there are now numerous ways to assist individuals dealing with fertility issues. The most suitable options for you will depend on your personal circumstances and the specific cause of your infertility. Sometimes, only one person requires treatment, while in other cases, both partners may need a combination of treatments.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making lifestyle modifications can improve fertility. Maintaining an optimal weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and adhering to a well-balanced diet play a crucial role. Abstaining from tobacco, consuming alcohol in moderation, and effectively managing stress are essential factors in maximizing reproductive well-being.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fertility treatments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often involve the use of medications to regulate hormones and ovulation, sometimes accompanied by minor surgical procedures. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes various procedures that can increase the chances of conceiving a baby. These procedures aim to facilitate the fertilization of an egg by sperm and support the successful implantation of the embryo to the lining of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/iui\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrauterine insemination (IUI)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are two widely used methods for fertility treatment. In IUI, semen is collected, washed to obtain better quality sperms and directly inserted into the uterus during ovulation. On the other hand, IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. Following development into embryos, they are then transferred into the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that can be used alongside assisted conception procedures like IUI and IVF, or on its own. The main goal of this treatment is to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the release of multiple mature eggs during an ovulation cycle. By using specific medications (Clomiphene Citrate,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonadotropins,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aromatase inhibitors) we can regulate and enhance the production of hormones responsible for ovulation. This approach aims to increase the number of eggs available for fertilization, ultimately increasing the chances of successful conception.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain conditions require surgical intervention. Common procedures include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Laparoscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopy is a type of surgery that is often used to treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions. It is a minimally invasive procedure where a small, illuminated tube is inserted through tiny incisions to identify and address problems with the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat any abnormalities within the uterine cavity. It is an effective way to remove or correct polyps, fibroids, septum or adhesions that may be affecting fertility.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Varicocelectomy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In cases where male infertility is attributed to varicoceles, which are enlarged veins in the scrotum, a varicocelectomy is carried out. This surgical procedure is performed to repair the dilated veins and improve blood flow in the testicles. This surgery helps boost sperm production and improves the quality of sperm.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, infertility presents a difficult path that affects individuals on both emotional and physical levels. Nevertheless, by adopting a comprehensive strategy that includes medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and diverse reproductive technologies, there are opportunities for conceiving.</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of each treatment method depends on individual circumstances, which is why it is important to seek personalized medical advice. If you and your partner are facing fertility challenges, it is best to consult reproductive specialists who can guide you towards the most suitable course of action for your specific need.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility </span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at NU Hospitals in Shivamogga offers advanced treatment choices for individuals experiencing infertility.

Various factors can contribute to infertility, including hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, and certain lifestyle choices. Understanding the causes of infertility is crucial in order to seek appropriate medical interventions and explore potential treatment options.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various factors can contribute to infertility, which hinder the ability to conceive even after engaging in carefully timed sexual intercourse for a year or more. Females are born with approximately one million eggs in their ovaries, but the quantity and quality of viable eggs diminish as they age. While male sperm count may not decline with age, the quality and capacity of sperm to successfully fertilize an egg does decrease.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In females, there are several issues that can affect fertility, such as ovulation disorders, cervical abnormalities, fallopian tube blockage, early menopause, pelvic inflammation, or adhesion, as well as cancer and its associated treatments. In males, factors such as abnormal sperm production, problems with sperm delivery, overexposure to certain environmental factors, and damage caused by cancer can impact fertility.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To determine infertility, doctors conduct a series of thorough assessments for both men and women. For men, a semen analysis plays a crucial role in evaluating fertility. Semen analysis is used to examine the sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormonal tests are also conducted to assess testosterone levels and identify any potential endocrine issues that could impact sperm production. Additionally, a physical examination can reveal any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For women, the diagnostic process usually starts with a detailed medical history, including information about their menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, and any past pregnancies. Additionally, gynaecological examinations, such as pelvic ultrasounds, may be performed to identify any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs. Hormonal tests are also conducted to evaluate ovarian function by measuring levels of hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone. Egg reserve can be assessed by AMH test or AFC on pelvic scan. Tubal blockage can be detected performing HSG/SIS/HyCoSY procedures.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1419\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2.jpg\" alt=\"Process for Infertility Treatment - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>With the help of advanced technology, there are now numerous ways to assist individuals dealing with fertility issues. The most suitable options for you will depend on your personal circumstances and the specific cause of your infertility. Sometimes, only one person requires treatment, while in other cases, both partners may need a combination of treatments.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making lifestyle modifications can improve fertility. Maintaining an optimal weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and adhering to a well-balanced diet play a crucial role. Abstaining from tobacco, consuming alcohol in moderation, and effectively managing stress are essential factors in maximizing reproductive well-being.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fertility treatments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often involve the use of medications to regulate hormones and ovulation, sometimes accompanied by minor surgical procedures. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes various procedures that can increase the chances of conceiving a baby. These procedures aim to facilitate the fertilization of an egg by sperm and support the successful implantation of the embryo to the lining of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/iui\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrauterine insemination (IUI)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are two widely used methods for fertility treatment. In IUI, semen is collected, washed to obtain better quality sperms and directly inserted into the uterus during ovulation. On the other hand, IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. Following development into embryos, they are then transferred into the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that can be used alongside assisted conception procedures like IUI and IVF, or on its own. The main goal of this treatment is to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the release of multiple mature eggs during an ovulation cycle. By using specific medications (Clomiphene Citrate,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonadotropins,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aromatase inhibitors) we can regulate and enhance the production of hormones responsible for ovulation. This approach aims to increase the number of eggs available for fertilization, ultimately increasing the chances of successful conception.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain conditions require surgical intervention. Common procedures include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Laparoscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopy is a type of surgery that is often used to treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions. It is a minimally invasive procedure where a small, illuminated tube is inserted through tiny incisions to identify and address problems with the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat any abnormalities within the uterine cavity. It is an effective way to remove or correct polyps, fibroids, septum or adhesions that may be affecting fertility.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Varicocelectomy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In cases where male infertility is attributed to varicoceles, which are enlarged veins in the scrotum, a varicocelectomy is carried out. This surgical procedure is performed to repair the dilated veins and improve blood flow in the testicles. This surgery helps boost sperm production and improves the quality of sperm.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><span>In conclusion, infertility presents a difficult path that affects individuals on both emotional and physical levels. Nevertheless, by adopting a comprehensive strategy that includes medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and diverse reproductive technologies, there are opportunities for conceiving.</span> <span>The success of each treatment method depends on individual circumstances, which is why it is important to seek personalized medical advice. If you and your partner are facing fertility challenges, it is best to consult reproductive specialists who can guide you towards the most suitable course of action for your specific need.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility </span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at NU Hospitals in Shivamogga offers advanced treatment choices for individuals experiencing infertility.

Various factors can contribute to infertility, including hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, and certain lifestyle choices. Understanding the causes of infertility is crucial in order to seek appropriate medical interventions and explore potential treatment options.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various factors can contribute to infertility, which hinder the ability to conceive even after engaging in carefully timed sexual intercourse for a year or more. Females are born with approximately one million eggs in their ovaries, but the quantity and quality of viable eggs diminish as they age. While male sperm count may not decline with age, the quality and capacity of sperm to successfully fertilize an egg does decrease.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In females, there are several issues that can affect fertility, such as ovulation disorders, cervical abnormalities, fallopian tube blockage, early menopause, pelvic inflammation, or adhesion, as well as cancer and its associated treatments. In males, factors such as abnormal sperm production, problems with sperm delivery, overexposure to certain environmental factors, and damage caused by cancer can impact fertility.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To determine infertility, doctors conduct a series of thorough assessments for both men and women. For men, a semen analysis plays a crucial role in evaluating fertility. Semen analysis is used to examine the sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormonal tests are also conducted to assess testosterone levels and identify any potential endocrine issues that could impact sperm production. Additionally, a physical examination can reveal any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For women, the diagnostic process usually starts with a detailed medical history, including information about their menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, and any past pregnancies. Additionally, gynaecological examinations, such as pelvic ultrasounds, may be performed to identify any structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs. Hormonal tests are also conducted to evaluate ovarian function by measuring levels of hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone. Egg reserve can be assessed by AMH test or AFC on pelvic scan. Tubal blockage can be detected performing HSG/SIS/HyCoSY procedures.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of infertility</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1419\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2.jpg\" alt=\"Process for Infertility Treatment - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>With the help of advanced technology, there are now numerous ways to assist individuals dealing with fertility issues. The most suitable options for you will depend on your personal circumstances and the specific cause of your infertility. Sometimes, only one person requires treatment, while in other cases, both partners may need a combination of treatments.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making lifestyle modifications can improve fertility. Maintaining an optimal weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and adhering to a well-balanced diet play a crucial role. Abstaining from tobacco, consuming alcohol in moderation, and effectively managing stress are essential factors in maximizing reproductive well-being.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fertility treatments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often involve the use of medications to regulate hormones and ovulation, sometimes accompanied by minor surgical procedures. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes various procedures that can increase the chances of conceiving a baby. These procedures aim to facilitate the fertilization of an egg by sperm and support the successful implantation of the embryo to the lining of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/iui\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrauterine insemination (IUI)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/ivf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are two widely used methods for fertility treatment. In IUI, semen is collected, washed to obtain better quality sperms and directly inserted into the uterus during ovulation. On the other hand, IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. Following development into embryos, they are then transferred into the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment that can be used alongside assisted conception procedures like IUI and IVF, or on its own. The main goal of this treatment is to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the release of multiple mature eggs during an ovulation cycle. By using specific medications (Clomiphene Citrate,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gonadotropins,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aromatase inhibitors) we can regulate and enhance the production of hormones responsible for ovulation. This approach aims to increase the number of eggs available for fertilization, ultimately increasing the chances of successful conception.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain conditions require surgical intervention. Common procedures include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Laparoscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopy is a type of surgery that is often used to treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions. It is a minimally invasive procedure where a small, illuminated tube is inserted through tiny incisions to identify and address problems with the reproductive organs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat any abnormalities within the uterine cavity. It is an effective way to remove or correct polyps, fibroids, septum or adhesions that may be affecting fertility.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Varicocelectomy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In cases where male infertility is attributed to varicoceles, which are enlarged veins in the scrotum, a varicocelectomy is carried out. This surgical procedure is performed to repair the dilated veins and improve blood flow in the testicles. This surgery helps boost sperm production and improves the quality of sperm.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span><span>In conclusion, infertility presents a difficult path that affects individuals on both emotional and physical levels. Nevertheless, by adopting a comprehensive strategy that includes medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and diverse reproductive technologies, there are opportunities for conceiving.</span> <span>The success of each treatment method depends on individual circumstances, which is why it is important to seek personalized medical advice. If you and your partner are facing fertility challenges, it is best to consult reproductive specialists who can guide you towards the most suitable course of action for your specific need.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility </span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at NU Hospitals in Shivamogga offers advanced treatment choices for individuals experiencing infertility.

It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids.

near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. This procedure cuts off the blood supply, leading to the shrinkage of the fibroids. Not advised in women planning for pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed under general anesthesia to remove a fibroid that is either partially or completely inside the uterus cavity.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic myomectomy is another advanced surgical option, involving the complete removal of the fibroid under general anaesthesia. Advantage over open abdominal Myomectomy is  having a minimal scar and better post operative recovery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI directed ultrasound technique involves the use of high intensity focused ultrasound waves to overheat the cells in the fibroid, causing it to shrink.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy procedure involves the complete removal of the uterus. This is usually done in women who have completed family planning. Laparoscopic route is preferred over abdominal surgery.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are a type of non-cancerous growth that develops within or on the uterus. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fibroids may not show any symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller fibroids may not require any treatment, but larger fibroids may require medical treatment or surgical intervention.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility in Shivamogga</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides advanced fibroid treatment options.

uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths composed of muscle and fibrous tissue.\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can develop in or near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. This procedure cuts off the blood supply, leading to the shrinkage of the fibroids. Not advised in women planning for pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed under general anesthesia to remove a fibroid that is either partially or completely inside the uterus cavity.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic myomectomy is another advanced surgical option, involving the complete removal of the fibroid under general anaesthesia. Advantage over open abdominal Myomectomy is  having a minimal scar and better post operative recovery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI directed ultrasound technique involves the use of high intensity focused ultrasound waves to overheat the cells in the fibroid, causing it to shrink.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy procedure involves the complete removal of the uterus. This is usually done in women who have completed family planning. Laparoscopic route is preferred over abdominal surgery.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are a type of non-cancerous growth that develops within or on the uterus. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fibroids may not show any symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller fibroids may not require any treatment, but larger fibroids may require medical treatment or surgical intervention.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility in Shivamogga</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides advanced fibroid treatment options.

uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths composed of muscle and fibrous tissue.\n</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can develop in or near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\n\n<!--more-->\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\n\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\n\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\n\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\n\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\n<ul>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\n</ul>\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\n</b></h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\n\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\n\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\n\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\n\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\n\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\n</b></h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\n<ul>\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. This procedure cuts off the blood supply, leading to the shrinkage of the fibroids. Not advised in women planning for pregnancy.</span></li>\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed under general anesthesia to remove a fibroid that is either partially or completely inside the uterus cavity.</span></li>\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic myomectomy is another advanced surgical option, involving the complete removal of the fibroid under general anaesthesia. Advantage over open abdominal Myomectomy is  having a minimal scar and better post operative recovery.</span></li>\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI directed ultrasound technique involves the use of high intensity focused ultrasound waves to overheat the cells in the fibroid, causing it to shrink.</span></li>\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy procedure involves the complete removal of the uterus. This is usually done in women who have completed family planning. Laparoscopic route is preferred over abdominal surgery.</span></li>\n</ul>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are a type of non-cancerous growth that develops within or on the uterus. </span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fibroids may not show any symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. </span>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller fibroids may not require any treatment, but larger fibroids may require medical treatment or surgical intervention.</span>\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility in Shivamogga</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides advanced fibroid treatment options.

uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths composed of muscle and fibrous tissue.\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can develop in or near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. This procedure cuts off the blood supply, leading to the shrinkage of the fibroids. Not advised in women planning for pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed under general anesthesia to remove a fibroid that is either partially or completely inside the uterus cavity.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic myomectomy is another advanced surgical option, involving the complete removal of the fibroid under general anaesthesia. Advantage over open abdominal Myomectomy is  having a minimal scar and better post operative recovery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI directed ultrasound technique involves the use of high intensity focused ultrasound waves to overheat the cells in the fibroid, causing it to shrink.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy procedure involves the complete removal of the uterus. This is usually done in women who have completed family planning. Laparoscopic route is preferred over abdominal surgery.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are a type of non-cancerous growth that develops within or on the uterus. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fibroids may not show any symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller fibroids may not require any treatment, but larger fibroids may require medical treatment or surgical intervention.</span>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility in Shivamogga</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides advanced fibroid treatment options.

uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths composed of muscle and fibrous tissue.\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can develop in or near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. This procedure cuts off the blood supply, leading to the shrinkage of the fibroids. Not advised in women planning for pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed under general anesthesia to remove a fibroid that is either partially or completely inside the uterus cavity.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic myomectomy is another advanced surgical option, involving the complete removal of the fibroid under general anaesthesia. Advantage over open abdominal Myomectomy is  having a minimal scar and better post operative recovery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI directed ultrasound technique involves the use of high intensity focused ultrasound waves to overheat the cells in the fibroid, causing it to shrink.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy procedure involves the complete removal of the uterus. This is usually done in women who have completed family planning. Laparoscopic route is preferred over abdominal surgery.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are a type of non-cancerous growth that develops within or on the uterus. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fibroids may not show any symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller fibroids may not require any treatment, but larger fibroids may require medical treatment or surgical intervention.</span>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility in Shivamogga</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides advanced fibroid treatment options.

uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths composed of muscle and fibrous tissue.\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can develop in or near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Types of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids are typically located within or around the uterine body, although they can occasionally be found in the cervix. Different types of fibroids include:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Intramural fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are lodged in the uterine wall. These fibroids originate and grow within the muscular tissue of the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Submucosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that develop within the uterine cavity, which is the space where a foetus grows during pregnancy.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Subserosal fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that are located outside the uterus and are attached to the uterine wall.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pedunculated fibroids:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus. These fibroids are connected to the uterus through a thin stem and are often compared to the shape of a mushroom. They are the least common type of fibroids.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Causes of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of fibroids is not fully understood. However, it is believed that the growth of fibroids is influenced by the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibroids tend to grow in women within the reproductive age-group until menopause.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors that increase the risk of developing fibroids include an early onset of menstruation, obesity, a family history of fibroids indicating a genetic influence, never having given birth, advancing age, the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Symptoms of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with fibroids may go unnoticed by many women unless they experience specific indications that prompt a medical diagnosis.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 20-30% of women experience certain symptoms related to fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of fibroids include:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful menstrual periods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during sexual intercourse</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular bleeding outside of the normal cycle</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">       </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased frequency of urination</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Can fibroids affect fertility and pregnancy?\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of women with fibroids experience normal fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, specific types of fibroids can affect the ability to conceive or give birth. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the presence of large uterine fibroids can influence the baby\'s position and restrict their movement</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, women with fibroids may face increased rates of infertility and miscarriage. The size, location, and quantity of fibroids play a significant role in relation to pregnancy and fertility. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In certain situations, a caesarean section may be advised for future deliveries.</span><b></b>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Diagnosis of fibroids</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1424 size-full\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/002.jpg\" alt=\"Diagnosis of Fibroids through Ultrasound - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis of fibroids involves a comprehensive process, typically involving medical history, physical examination, and various imaging studies.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical history:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Healthcare professionals inquire about various symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, and reproductive concerns. Obtaining information about a patient\'s family history regarding fibroids or similar conditions can provide valuable insights.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Physical examination:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To evaluate the dimensions, structure, and texture of the uterus, a pelvic examination is conducted. An enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus may indicate the presence of fibroids. Furthermore, this examination assists in identifying other potential causes for the symptoms.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Imaging studies: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm the diagnosis and determine the precise location, size, and quantity of fibroids, several imaging techniques are utilized. The first-line imaging tool is often ultrasound, which can provide detailed images of the uterus. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound are utilized to visualize fibroids. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers a more comprehensive view of the uterus and its surrounding structures. It is particularly valuable in evaluating the size and number of fibroids.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Hysteroscopy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To examine the uterine cavity and identify any fibroids that may be impacting it, a thin illuminated tube is inserted through the cervix.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Endometrial Biopsy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to rule out other conditions, it may be necessary to take a tissue sample from the uterine lining if there are any concerns about abnormal bleeding.</span>\r\n<h2 style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Treatment of fibroids\r\n</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of fibroids is typically unnecessary unless they are causing complications. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, women who are facing challenges with fertility, experiencing painful periods, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms often seek treatment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of treatment options varies based on the size of the fibroids and the severity of the symptoms. It also takes into consideration a woman\'s specific requirements, such as her plans for future pregnancy and any previous pregnancies she may have had.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period pain can be reduced with the help of pain-relieving medication, and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to decrease the intensity of bleeding.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of anemia, iron replacement may be recommended.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various surgical options available for the treatment of fibroids.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine artery embolization involves injecting small, sterile particles into the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. This procedure cuts off the blood supply, leading to the shrinkage of the fibroids. Not advised in women planning for pregnancy.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed under general anesthesia to remove a fibroid that is either partially or completely inside the uterus cavity.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic myomectomy is another advanced surgical option, involving the complete removal of the fibroid under general anaesthesia. Advantage over open abdominal Myomectomy is  having a minimal scar and better post operative recovery.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI directed ultrasound technique involves the use of high intensity focused ultrasound waves to overheat the cells in the fibroid, causing it to shrink.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy procedure involves the complete removal of the uterus. This is usually done in women who have completed family planning. Laparoscopic route is preferred over abdominal surgery.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are a type of non-cancerous growth that develops within or on the uterus. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fibroids may not show any symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. </span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller fibroids may not require any treatment, but larger fibroids may require medical treatment or surgical intervention.</span>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility in Shivamogga</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides advanced fibroid treatment options.

were the only option when in vitro fertilization (IVF) was initially introduced due to the limited progress in cryopreservation techniques. However, over the past four decades, significant advancements in cryopreservation, culture media, and reproductive technologies have made both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FETs) widely practiced. Nowadays, FETs are generally preferred, depending on the age of the couple, number of oocytes retrieved, quality of embryos, adequacy of the endometrial lining, and hormonal parameters.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Fresh and frozen embryo transfers: Understanding the differences</b></h2>\r\n<b>Fresh embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fresh embryo transfer is typically scheduled 5 days after the eggs are collected from the patient. In the laboratory, the eggs are fertilized with sperm and the resulting embryo is carefully monitored as it grows. Fresh embryo transfer allows for a shorter time between egg retrieval and transfer into the uterus, increasing the chances of conception. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are certain situations where a fresh embryo transfer is not recommended. If a patient\'s progesterone level is high, it can negatively impact the implantation of the embryo, making a fresh embryo transfer unsuitable. Similarly, if a patient is at risk of hyperstimulation from the medications used to stimulate egg maturation, a fresh transfer could pose a danger to the patient.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Frozen embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frozen embryo transfer typically takes place around 6-8 weeks after the embryo has been frozen. When the patient is ready for the transfer, she will be given medications to simulate a natural menstrual cycle. The FET date is then coordinated with the cycle to improve the chances of successful implantation.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a patient wants to have her embryos tested for genetic abnormalities, a FET becomes necessary. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is conducted shortly after the retrieval of eggs. A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer. This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. </li>\r\n<li>Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer. </li> \r\n<li>This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frozen embryo transfers can also be utilized for future pregnancies even years later, as embryos can be stored indefinitely. Similarly, if a patient wishes to preserve her fertility due to age, cancer treatment, or other reasons, embryos can be created and stored for later use. When the time is right, a FET can be performed.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>The benefits and drawbacks of fresh and frozen embryo transfers</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1142\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/3-min.jpg\" alt=\"Embryo Transfer in Bangalore - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<b>Advantages of fresh embryo transfer</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waiting time for fresh embryo transfer is shorter as embryos are transferred soon after fertilization.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The embryo is not subjected to the stress of freezing and thawing.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh cycles involve the process of ovarian stimulation, which can result in a receptive endometrial lining, if the woman is not a hyper-responder.

were the only option when in vitro fertilization (IVF) was initially introduced due to the limited progress in cryopreservation techniques. However, over the past four decades, significant advancements in cryopreservation, culture media, and reproductive technologies have made both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FETs) widely practiced. Nowadays, FETs are generally preferred, depending on the age of the couple, number of oocytes retrieved, quality of embryos, adequacy of the endometrial lining, and hormonal parameters.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Fresh and frozen embryo transfers: Understanding the differences</b></h2>\r\n<b>Fresh embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fresh embryo transfer is typically scheduled 5 days after the eggs are collected from the patient. In the laboratory, the eggs are fertilized with sperm and the resulting embryo is carefully monitored as it grows. Fresh embryo transfer allows for a shorter time between egg retrieval and transfer into the uterus, increasing the chances of conception. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are certain situations where a fresh embryo transfer is not recommended. If a patient\'s progesterone level is high, it can negatively impact the implantation of the embryo, making a fresh embryo transfer unsuitable. Similarly, if a patient is at risk of hyperstimulation from the medications used to stimulate egg maturation, a fresh transfer could pose a danger to the patient.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Frozen embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frozen embryo transfer typically takes place around 6-8 weeks after the embryo has been frozen. When the patient is ready for the transfer, she will be given medications to simulate a natural menstrual cycle. The FET date is then coordinated with the cycle to improve the chances of successful implantation.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a patient wants to have her embryos tested for genetic abnormalities, a FET becomes necessary. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is conducted shortly after the retrieval of eggs. A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer. This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities.</li>\r\n 	<li>Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer.</li>\r\n 	<li>This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frozen embryo transfers can also be utilized for future pregnancies even years later, as embryos can be stored indefinitely. Similarly, if a patient wishes to preserve her fertility due to age, cancer treatment, or other reasons, embryos can be created and stored for later use. When the time is right, a FET can be performed.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>The benefits and drawbacks of fresh and frozen embryo transfers</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1142\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/3-min.jpg\" alt=\"Embryo Transfer in Bangalore - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<b>Advantages of fresh embryo transfer</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waiting time for fresh embryo transfer is shorter as embryos are transferred soon after fertilization.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The embryo is not subjected to the stress of freezing and thawing.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh cycles involve the process of ovarian stimulation, which can result in a receptive endometrial lining, if the woman is not a hyper-responder.

were the only option when in vitro fertilization (IVF) was initially introduced due to the limited progress in cryopreservation techniques. However, over the past four decades, significant advancements in cryopreservation, culture media, and reproductive technologies have made both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FETs) widely practiced. Nowadays, FETs are generally preferred, depending on the age of the couple, number of oocytes retrieved, quality of embryos, adequacy of the endometrial lining, and hormonal parameters.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Fresh and frozen embryo transfers: Understanding the differences</b></h2>\r\n<b>Fresh embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fresh embryo transfer is typically scheduled 5 days after the eggs are collected from the patient. In the laboratory, the eggs are fertilized with sperm and the resulting embryo is carefully monitored as it grows. Fresh embryo transfer allows for a shorter time between egg retrieval and transfer into the uterus, increasing the chances of conception. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are certain situations where a fresh embryo transfer is not recommended. If a patient\'s progesterone level is high, it can negatively impact the implantation of the embryo, making a fresh embryo transfer unsuitable. Similarly, if a patient is at risk of hyperstimulation from the medications used to stimulate egg maturation, a fresh transfer could pose a danger to the patient.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Frozen embryo transfers:</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frozen embryo transfer typically takes place around 6-8 weeks after the embryo has been frozen. When the patient is ready for the transfer, she will be given medications to simulate a natural menstrual cycle. The FET date is then coordinated with the cycle to improve the chances of successful implantation.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a patient wants to have her embryos tested for genetic abnormalities, a FET becomes necessary. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is conducted shortly after the retrieval of eggs. A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer. This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A small sample is taken from the embryo for biopsy, and this sample is evaluated for any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities.</li>\r\n 	<li>Once PGT is completed, the embryologist will select only the embryos that are chromosomally normal for transfer.</li>\r\n 	<li>This selective approach significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frozen embryo transfers can also be utilized for future pregnancies even years later, as embryos can be stored indefinitely. Similarly, if a patient wishes to preserve her fertility due to age, cancer treatment, or other reasons, embryos can be created and stored for later use. When the time is right, a FET can be performed.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>The benefits and drawbacks of fresh and frozen embryo transfers</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1142\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/3-min.jpg\" alt=\"Embryo Transfer in Bangalore - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n<b>Advantages of fresh embryo transfer</b>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waiting time for fresh embryo transfer is shorter as embryos are transferred soon after fertilization.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The embryo is not subjected to the stress of freezing and thawing.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh cycles involve the process of ovarian stimulation, which can result in a receptive endometrial lining, if the woman is not a hyper-responder.

cryopreservation, is a medical procedure where a woman\'s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored to extend their fertility window. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then harvested, cooled to sub-zero temperatures, and preserved. This technology allows women to delay childbearing while maintaining the option to use their eggs for conception later on in life. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Egg freezing is often chosen by women facing age-related fertility decline, medical treatments that may impact fertility, or those pursuing career and personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it doesn\'t guarantee future pregnancy, it offers a proactive approach to preserve reproductive options and is increasingly considered by couples seeking greater control over their family planning timelines.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Who is a good candidate for freezing eggs?</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1147\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2-min-2.jpg\" alt=\"Candidate for Freezing Eggs - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good candidate for egg freezing is often women who find themselves in a situation where preserving fertility becomes a consideration due to various factors. The following are the various aspects that define a good candidate for egg freezing:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Age and fertility concerns:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Women in their 20s to early 30s generally have healthier and more viable eggs, increasing the chances of successful freezing and future use. Egg freezing is most effective when done at a younger age when ovarian reserve and egg quality are higher.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical conditions or treatments: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Females diagnosed with cancer, especially those undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, which can harm fertility, may opt for egg freezing before starting treatment. Individuals with medical conditions that may impact fertility, such as endometriosis, may consider egg freezing to preserve their reproductive options.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Career and lifestyle considerations</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Women pursuing demanding careers may choose to delay childbearing and freeze their eggs to mitigate the impact of age-related fertility decline while focusing on professional goals. For individuals who are engaged in extensive educational pursuits or other personal goals, egg freezing may seem like the perfect way to fit family planning into your schedule.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Single women and delayed marriage: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Females who are currently single but wish to have biological children in the future may choose to freeze their eggs as a proactive measure. Individuals with delayed marriage plans who want to secure the option of having biological children may find egg-freezing beneficial. Some women may have not found their right partner at a younger age. Egg freezing helps these women.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Genetic conditions or family history: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women with a family history of early menopause or genetic conditions that affect fertility may consider egg freezing as a precautionary measure.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Personal health conditions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Females with personal health conditions that may impact fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may opt for egg freezing.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ethical or religious reasons:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some individuals may have ethical or religious concerns about traditional reproductive methods and choose egg freezing as an alternative.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Personal choice:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ultimately, egg freezing is a personal decision. Women who desire more control over their reproductive timelines or wish to explore non-traditional paths to parenthood may be good candidates.</span>\r\n\r\n<b> </b>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>How does Egg Freezing Work?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are the various steps involved in the egg freezing process:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ovarian stimulation:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The process begins with ovarian stimulation, where a woman receives hormonal medications to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This step aims to maximize the number of eggs available for retrieval.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Egg retrieval:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once the eggs reach maturity, a minimally invasive procedure called egg retrieval is performed. A thin needle is inserted through the vaginal wall into the ovaries, and the mature eggs are aspirated. This is typically done under anaesthesia.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Cryopreservation:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After retrieval, the eggs are cooled to sub-zero temperatures through a process called vitrification. This rapid freezing method prevents the formation of ice crystals, safeguarding the cellular structure of the eggs during storage.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Storage:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The frozen eggs are then stored in specialized cryogenic containers, maintaining their viability for an extended period. The storage duration can be several years, allowing individuals to preserve their fertility until they decide to use the eggs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thawing and fertilization:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The frozen eggs are thawed, when they are ready for use. Following thawing, the eggs are fertilized with sperm through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the resulting embryos are transferred into the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pregnancy attempt:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the fertilized egg successfully implants, a pregnancy can occur. It\'s important to note that the success of egg freezing and subsequent IVF procedures may vary, and factors such as the woman\'s age at freezing and overall reproductive health play significant roles in the success.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>What is the cost of Egg Freezing in India?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors influencing the price include the clinic\'s facilities, location, and the specific services included in the package. Additional expenses may arise for medications, consultations, and storage fees. It is essential to inquire about the comprehensive cost breakdown before proceeding. The cost range of egg freezing in Bangalore is typically between Rs.1,00,000 and Rs. 3,00,000. Some clinics also offer financing options or packages that encompass multiple cycles. It is advisable to research clinics, consider reviews, and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-sneha-j\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consult fertility specialists</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make an informed decision based on individual needs and budget constraints.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, the decision to pursue egg freezing is a deeply personal one, influenced by several factors. Individuals must carefully evaluate their circumstances, considering age, health, career aspirations, and ethical considerations. While egg freezing offers a promising option for </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/fertility-preservation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preserving fertility</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is not a guarantee of future pregnancy. Open communication with healthcare professionals, thorough research, and realistic expectations are essential components of making an informed choice about whether egg freezing is the right path for one\'s reproductive journey.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility, Bangalore,</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> India, is renowned for its excellence in </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fertility treatments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">egg freezing</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

cryopreservation, is a medical procedure where a woman\'s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored to extend their fertility window. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then harvested, cooled to sub-zero temperatures, and preserved. This technology allows women to delay childbearing while maintaining the option to use their eggs for conception later on in life. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Egg freezing is often chosen by women facing age-related fertility decline, medical treatments that may impact fertility, or those pursuing career and personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it doesn\'t guarantee future pregnancy, it offers a proactive approach to preserve reproductive options and is increasingly considered by couples seeking greater control over their family planning timelines.</span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>Who is a good candidate for freezing eggs?</b></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1147\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2-min-2.jpg\" alt=\"Candidate for Freezing Eggs - NU Fertility\" width=\"804\" height=\"536\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good candidate for egg freezing is often women who find themselves in a situation where preserving fertility becomes a consideration due to various factors. The following are the various aspects that define a good candidate for egg freezing:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Age and fertility concerns:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Women in their 20s to early 30s generally have healthier and more viable eggs, increasing the chances of successful freezing and future use. Egg freezing is most effective when done at a younger age when ovarian reserve and egg quality are higher.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Medical conditions or treatments: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Females diagnosed with cancer, especially those undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, which can harm fertility, may opt for egg freezing before starting treatment. Individuals with medical conditions that may impact fertility, such as endometriosis, may consider egg freezing to preserve their reproductive options.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Career and lifestyle considerations</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Women pursuing demanding careers may choose to delay childbearing and freeze their eggs to mitigate the impact of age-related fertility decline while focusing on professional goals. For individuals who are engaged in extensive educational pursuits or other personal goals, egg freezing may seem like the perfect way to fit family planning into your schedule.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Single women and delayed marriage: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Females who are currently single but wish to have biological children in the future may choose to freeze their eggs as a proactive measure. Individuals with delayed marriage plans who want to secure the option of having biological children may find egg-freezing beneficial. Some women may have not found their right partner at a younger age. Egg freezing helps these women.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Genetic conditions or family history: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women with a family history of early menopause or genetic conditions that affect fertility may consider egg freezing as a precautionary measure.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Personal health conditions:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Females with personal health conditions that may impact fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may opt for egg freezing.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ethical or religious reasons:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some individuals may have ethical or religious concerns about traditional reproductive methods and choose egg freezing as an alternative.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Personal choice:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ultimately, egg freezing is a personal decision. Women who desire more control over their reproductive timelines or wish to explore non-traditional paths to parenthood may be good candidates.</span>\r\n\r\n<b> </b>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>How does Egg Freezing Work?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are the various steps involved in the egg freezing process:</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ovarian stimulation:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The process begins with ovarian stimulation, where a woman receives hormonal medications to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This step aims to maximize the number of eggs available for retrieval.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Egg retrieval:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once the eggs reach maturity, a minimally invasive procedure called egg retrieval is performed. A thin needle is inserted through the vaginal wall into the ovaries, and the mature eggs are aspirated. This is typically done under anaesthesia.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Cryopreservation:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After retrieval, the eggs are cooled to sub-zero temperatures through a process called vitrification. This rapid freezing method prevents the formation of ice crystals, safeguarding the cellular structure of the eggs during storage.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Storage:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The frozen eggs are then stored in specialized cryogenic containers, maintaining their viability for an extended period. The storage duration can be several years, allowing individuals to preserve their fertility until they decide to use the eggs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thawing and fertilization:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The frozen eggs are thawed, when they are ready for use. Following thawing, the eggs are fertilized with sperm through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the resulting embryos are transferred into the uterus.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Pregnancy attempt:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the fertilized egg successfully implants, a pregnancy can occur. It\'s important to note that the success of egg freezing and subsequent IVF procedures may vary, and factors such as the woman\'s age at freezing and overall reproductive health play significant roles in the success.</span>\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><b>What is the cost of Egg Freezing in India?</b></h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors influencing the price include the clinic\'s facilities, location, and the specific services included in the package. Additional expenses may arise for medications, consultations, and storage fees. It is essential to inquire about the comprehensive cost breakdown before proceeding. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost range of egg freezing in Bangalore is typically between Rs.1,00,000 and Rs. 3,00,000. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some clinics also offer financing options or packages that encompass multiple cycles. It is advisable to research clinics, consider reviews, and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-sneha-j\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consult fertility specialists</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make an informed decision based on individual needs and budget constraints.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, the decision to pursue egg freezing is a deeply personal one, influenced by several factors. Individuals must carefully evaluate their circumstances, considering age, health, career aspirations, and ethical considerations. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While egg freezing offers a promising option for </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/fertility-preservation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preserving fertility</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is not a guarantee of future pregnancy. Open communication with healthcare professionals, thorough research, and realistic expectations are essential components of making an informed choice about whether egg freezing is the right path for one\'s reproductive journey.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NU Fertility, Bangalore,</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> India, is renowned for its excellence in </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/female-infertility\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fertility treatments</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/embryo-transfer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">egg freezing</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
