About IVF

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is an assisted reproductive treatment in which an egg and sperm are brought together in a laboratory to help achieve fertilisation. The resulting embryo may then be transferred into the uterus as part of the fertility treatment process.

IVF may be considered for couples experiencing difficulty conceiving due to different fertility-related factors. At Skanda Kumara Fertility & Women’s Health Care, Thiruvarur, IVF treatment is planned based on the individual fertility history, investigations, and treatment requirements of each couple.

IVF Treatment Process

The IVF process generally involves several stages, which may include:

Ovarian stimulation to encourage the development of multiple eggs
Monitoring follicular growth through appropriate scans and assessments
Egg retrieval through a planned procedure
Sperm collection and preparation
Fertilisation of the eggs in the laboratory
Embryo development and monitoring
Embryo transfer into the uterus when appropriate
Pregnancy testing and follow-up after embryo transfer

The exact treatment protocol can vary depending on individual fertility factors, response to medication, age, previous treatment history, and clinical findings.

Who May Consider IVF?

IVF may be considered in situations such as:

Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
Certain male fertility factors
Ovulation-related fertility problems
Endometriosis-associated infertility
Unexplained infertility
Reduced ovarian reserve or age-related fertility factors
Previous unsuccessful fertility treatments
Other circumstances where assisted reproductive treatment may be appropriate

A fertility specialist can assess the couple’s medical history and investigations to determine whether IVF may be suitable.
