IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a sophisticated fertility treatment that involves fertilizing eggs with sperm outside the body in a laboratory setting. IVF is a highly effective option for individuals and couples struggling with infertility due to various factors such as blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count or motility, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility.
At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital Urology & IVF Centre, led by Dr. Ramachandra. K and Dr. Atchutha Subiksha, our team of skilled fertility specialists offers comprehensive IVF services to help individuals and couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
The IVF process typically begins with ovarian stimulation, where medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are then carefully retrieved using a minimally invasive procedure called transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration. Meanwhile, sperm samples are collected from the male partner or a sperm donor and processed in the laboratory to select the healthiest and most viable sperm for fertilization.
In the laboratory, the retrieved eggs are combined with the processed sperm in a specialized culture medium, where fertilization occurs. The resulting embryos are closely monitored and cultured in the laboratory for a few days before one or more embryos are selected for transfer into the woman’s uterus. This embryo transfer procedure is performed using a thin catheter and typically does not require anesthesia.
Following embryo transfer, patients may undergo a brief period of rest before resuming normal activities. Pregnancy may occur if the embryo successfully implants in the uterine lining, leading to a positive pregnancy test within a few weeks. While IVF offers high success rates, outcomes may vary depending on factors such as age, reproductive health, and the number of embryos transferred.
At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital, we understand the emotional and physical challenges associated with infertility, and we are committed to providing compassionate care and support to individuals and couples undergoing IVF treatment. Our dedicated team offers expert guidance, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support throughout the fertility journey, helping patients navigate the path to parenthood with confidence and hope.
