Innovative Fertility Treatments Offered at Apollo Fertility in Varanasi

Becoming a parent and entering parenthood is a dream come true moment for almost everyone. However, not all individuals or couples are blessed with the happiness of achieving it naturally. This creates a huge amount of concern and distress among couples. The inability to conceive could result from various factors, either from the male partner, the female partner or both. This could be due to age-related factors, hormonal issues, anatomical anomalies, etc. However, innovations in fertility treatment have become a huge ray of hope to such couples over the past few decades.

With the discovery of IVF and artificial reproductive methods, millions of couples have been able to tackle this issue. Continue reading as we help you uncover innovative fertility treatments at the best IVF centre in Varanasi.

Who Requires Fertility Treatment?

Any couple who has been trying to conceive but are unable to conceive can opt for this treatment modality. As a basic rule, a couple can be counted for infertility treatment only if they have had unprotected sexual intercourse for a year and are still unable to conceive naturally. However, in the present-day scenario, the services of a fertility clinic are not just restricted to them. 

In certain cases of couples, couples might want to delay pregnancy to a later period in future due to personal choices or because of any other health concerns at the moment. As age progresses the quality of sperm and egg might reduce. So, such couples can opt to freeze their embryos through a combination of cryopreservation and IVF technology, which are done with the help of fertility clinics.

Innovative Fertility Treatments at Apollo Fertility Varanasi

As one of the best IVF centres in the country, we have a very high success rate in Varanasi, and Apollo Fertility offers a variety of innovative fertility treatments and specialities.

• IVF or In Vitro Fertilisation:

This is the most common method of assisted reproductive technique used in infertility treatment. The following are the major steps involved in IVF treatment:

• Fertility drug intake for improving the quality and quantity of egg and sperm.
• Gamete retrieval, where good and viable follicles are collected using ultrasound. The semen from the male parent is also collected on the day of oocyte retrieval.
• Quality evaluation of viable eggs and sperm from semen is performed by an embryologist.
• Fertilisation of sperm and egg is carried out, and the embryo is evaluated for its development.
• Once the embryo's cell count is around 7-10 cells around the third day, the transfer is planned and performed under ultrasound guidance. 

Multiple embryos are formed from sperm and ovum obtained in a single retrieval. They are usually frozen and used in case of future needs.

• ICSI or Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection: 

ICSI is the revolutionary innovation in the field of IVF that is available at apollo fertility.ICSI enables us to tackle infertility issues concerning the ability of sperm to fertilise the ovum, which happens due to suboptimal sperm conditions or oocyte defects. 

In this method, a single potential and superior-quality sperm is directly injected into the cytoplasm of an egg to achieve fertilisation. Once a viable embryo is obtained it is transferred into the mother's uterus for implantation and further development.

• Surplus Embryo Freezing Excess: 

Embryos can be cryopreserved or stored by freezing at ultra-low temperatures for several years and used whenever needed in future. This method allows the possible chance of undergoing an IVF cycle without having ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. 

At Apollo Fertility, several couples who wanted to delay pregnancy for a few years but were concerned about chances of reduced sperm and egg quality were able to delay pregnancy and safeguard the embryos by this treatment procedure. With the help of IVF, embryos were created and cryopreserved for implantation in a future time as opted by the parents. Freezing embryos did not potentially affect the IVF success rate in Varanasi.

• Assisted Hatching: 

Assisted hatching is a procedure performed by altering the zona pellucida layer of the egg to assist proper implantation. Zona pellucida is the outer covering of an egg. Under certain circumstances, the embryo so formed is unable to escape the intact zona pellucida. 

In this method, either a tiny hole is created in the zona pellucida layer or causes thinning of the layer to promote the hatching or implantation of embryos. When this hole is created by using a small infra-red laser beam, it is called Laser Assisted Hatching. In this procedure, The infrared laser beam helps to create a 10-20 micron hole in the zona pellucida by vaporising or dissolving it. Doing so, right before implantation helps in accelerating the process of implantation.

• IUI or Intra Uterine Insemination: 

Intrauterine insemination is a treatment method where previously collected semen is transferred into the uterine cavity using a catheter-like device. This method is usually adopted when the male partner is diagnosed as having conditions that limit them from carrying out insemination normally. or in case of compromised sperm motility or count. 

• Semen/Sperm freezing: 

Being one of the best IVF clinics in Varanasi, we provide semen or sperm freezing for required patients. Semen/Sperm are collected and stored frozen at ultra-low temperatures for a longer duration to increase the life span of sperm. This is done mainly in case of the following circumstances:

• • Semen freezing before chemotherapy
  • Donor semen
  • The inability of the male partner to be present on the day of oocyte retrieval
  • Inability to deliver the semen on the day of the procedure
  • Testicular biopsy/sperm freezing to avoid repeated biopsies

• TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration): 

Although sperms are obtained for IVF through self-masturbation, testicular sperm aspiration is performed under necessary conditions. At Apollo Fertility Centers, we carry out, on average, 8-10 TESA every month.

• Reproductive Surgeries: 

Underlying anatomical anomalies, disorders, or pathological conditions affecting the normal anatomy of the parent's reproductive organs can also delay conception. Depending on the severity of the disorder, conception might be further delayed. 

Although some pathological conditions can be corrected with medications, completely depending on medicines alone cannot be a solution for the same. So in such conditions, a gynaecologist recommends the patient to undergo suitable reproductive surgery based on their condition. Hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy, Myomectomy and vaginal surgery are a few types of reproductive surgeries carried out at Apollo Infertility Varanasi.
