Infertility treatment and First TEST TUBE BABY
Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception. Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many biological causes of infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention.
Medical treatment of infertility generally involves the use of fertility medication, medical device, surgery, or a combination of the following. If the sperm are of good quality and the mechanics of the woman's reproductive structures are good (patent fallopian tubes, no adhesions or scarring), physicians may start by prescribing a course of ovarian stimulating medication. The physician may also suggest using a conception cap cervical cap, which the patient uses at home by placing the sperm inside the cap and putting the conception device on the cervix, or intrauterine insemination (IUI), in which the doctor introduces sperm into the uterus during ovulation, via a catheter. In these methods, fertilization occurs inside the body. If conservative medical treatments fail to achieve a full term pregnancy; the physician may suggest the patient undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF and related techniques (ICSI, ZIFT, and GIFT) are called assisted reproductive technology (ART) techniques. ART techniques generally start with stimulating the ovaries to increase egg production. After stimulation, the physician surgically extracts one or more eggs from the ovary, and unites them with sperm in a laboratory setting, with the intent of producing one or more embryos. Fertilization takes place outside the body, and the fertilized egg is reinserted into the woman's reproductive tract, in a procedure called transfer. Other medical techniques are e.g. tuboplasty, assisted hatching, and Preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
IVF clinics
The first fertility centre to successfully implement IVF (TEST TUBE BABY) and other ART service (diagnosing and curing by performing IVF, ICSI, PESA and TESA/ICSI/ET) in Kerala has been operational since1996atKadavanthra, Ernakulam. Children from IVF, for the first time in Kerala, were born in 1997 conceived in 1996 from this centre. So far more than 602 live babies (from IVF /ICSI) have been born from this centre and there are several on-going pregnancies. The Vijaya Fertility IVF & Endoscopic Centre now known asVIMS Hospital (Vijaya Institute of Medical Science) was conceived as a pioneering institution by Dr. N.P.Vijayalakshmy MD, DGO, FASRM and she has received accolades both from within and outside the country, including Singapore for the treatment of infertility. It is the first centre to offer ART in Kerala and the first IVF babies in Kerala were born at this centre. Before she started this Super Specialty Centre, she was a faculty with Medical College Service, Kerala.
