Areas of Interest

What is Embryo Transfer? How is Embryo Transfer Performed?

Embryo transfer is the process of placing embryos, developed in a laboratory setting outside the woman’s body during IVF treatment, into the prospective mother’s uterus. Defined as the fertilization of egg cells collected from the prospective mother with sperm cells taken from the prospective father in a laboratory environment, and then transferring them into the mother’s uterus, embryo transfer can assist couples who are unable to conceive naturally to achieve pregnancy.

What is Low Egg Reserve (AMH)?, Causes and Treatment

The decline in egg count in women is a common cause of infertility today. From a certain age, both the quantity and quality of a woman's eggs decrease, which can reduce the chances of fertilization and hinder the ability to conceive. This condition, indicating a decrease in the fertility hormone known as AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), can sometimes also occur in young women. To learn more about low egg reserve, continue reading the rest of the text.

How to Improve Egg Reserve and Quality?

Egg reserve is an important term that helps understand a woman's fertility potential. This concept is used to assess a woman’s reproductive capacity and the quantity of eggs in her ovaries.

What is the Egg Freezing Procedure, and Who is Eligible?

Egg freezing is a reproductive option for women who wish to preserve their fertility potential for later in life. The procedure involves stimulating the ovaries with hormonal medications and freezing the mature eggs that are collected. In this way, individuals can create a reproductive plan that suits their lifestyle and needs

Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Tubal Obstruction

Blocked fallopian tubes are a common issue affecting female reproductive health. These tubes facilitate fertilization by connecting the ovaries to the uterus. When a blockage occurs, it can disrupt this complex reproductive process and lead to infertility. The causes of blockage can include infections, endometriosis, or injuries from previous surgeries. Understanding the causes of these blockages, learning about diagnosis and treatment options, is crucial for couples wishing to conceive.

Glutathione Treatment in IVF Applications

To have a healthy baby, both the sperm and the egg must be healthy. However, free radicals generated as a result of metabolic events can accumulate in the body and lead to the deterioration of the egg or sperm. This can result in infertility issues. The antioxidant known as glutathione helps eliminate these accumulated radicals from the body, contributing to healthier pregnancies. For this reason, glutathione treatment is important for a healthier pregnancy process in IVF treatments. You can continue reading to learn more about glutathione treatment in IVF.

What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Its Symptoms, and Treatment

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common health issue that affects women of reproductive age. The underlying cause of the syndrome may involve hormonal changes. Androgen hormones, which are typically associated with males, are present in women at certain levels. However, excessive production of these hormones can lead to various disorders. As a result, PCOS can manifest as disruptions in the menstrual cycle, changes in the skin and hair, and the formation of cysts in the ovaries. Although the primary cause of PCOS is still unknown, it is one of the most common causes of infertility. Additionally, there are several risk factors that may predispose individuals to the development of polycystic ovary syndrome. Family history, lifestyle habits, and certain medical conditions can trigger the development of PCOS. If not diagnosed early and treated, polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to long-term complications such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.

What is Infertility, Principles, Diagnosis, and Treatment

There are important steps in our bodies to become pregnant. The brain produces reproductive hormones, the egg matures, and ovulation releases it. The fallopian tubes capture the egg, and the sperm cells from the male partner travel to fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg implants in the uterus, marking the beginning of pregnancy. Disruptions in this complex process can prevent pregnancy from occurring. However, not every failed attempt is considered infertility. Now, let’s examine what infertility is.

What is Embryo Glue? Who is it Used For?

Embryo glue, used in in vitro fertilization treatments, helps create a strong and stable connection between the developing embryo and the uterine lining. You can read on for more information about embryo glue, which significantly increases the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

What is a Chip Baby? How is a Chip Baby Made?

Chip implantation in IVF is a medical procedure used to increase the chances of couples achieving pregnancy through natural means. In this method, the eggs of the prospective mother are stimulated and matured. Then, sperm collected from the prospective father is selected in a laboratory environment to fertilize the mother's eggs. The fertilized egg develops into an embryo, which is then placed into the mother's uterus. Chip implantation can be a hopeful option for couples facing infertility issues. The procedure is performed under the supervision of a medical expert and is tailored to the individual health conditions of the couples.

What is a Chocolate Cyst (Endometriosis), Symptoms, and Treatment

A chocolate cyst is a gynecological issue that has a significant impact on women's health. Known medically as endometriosis, a chocolate cyst occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows in areas outside the uterus. Genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, retrograde menstrual flow, and immune system issues can all play a role in the formation of chocolate cysts. The combination of these factors can lead to inflammation and bleeding in the endometrial tissue, resulting in chocolate cysts. The name "chocolate cyst" comes from the brownish, liquid-like substance contained within these cysts, which are typically found in the ovaries. Chocolate cysts can cause a range of symptoms, including painful menstrual periods, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and fertility issues. This condition can greatly affect women's quality of life and may require long-term treatment.

What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)? How is IVF Treatment Performed?

IVF treatment, applied to individuals who cannot conceive naturally, can be defined as the process of bringing together reproductive cells in a laboratory environment.
