What Can be done?..

• What Facilities are available to cure Infertility
  ?

• IUI Treatment
• IVF Treatment
• ICSI Treatment
• TESA
• MESA
• TESE
• Embryo Freezing
• Blastocyst transfer
• Donner egg IVF
• PCD and PCS

• What is Intrauterine Insemination IUI

• This is a fertility treatment that involves
  placing sperm inside a
• womans uterus to facilitate fertilization. The
  goal of IUI is to
• increase the number of sperm that reach the
  fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the
  chance of fertilization.
• IUI provides the sperm an advantage by giving it
  a head start,
• but still requires a sperm to reach and fertilize
  the egg on its
• own. It is a less invasive and less expensive
  option compared to 
• in vitro fertilization.

• What is intracytoplasmic sperm injection ICSI

• ICSI is very similar to conventional IVF in that
  gametes (eggs and sperm) are collected from each
  partner. The difference
• between the two procedures is the method of
  achieving
• fertilization.In conventional IVF, the eggs and
  sperm are mixed together in a dish and the sperm
  fertilizes the egg naturally. However to have a
  chance that this will occur, large numbers of
  actively swimming normal sperm are required. For
  many couples, the number of
• suitable sperm available may be very limited or
  there may be
• other factors preventing fertilization, so
  conventional IVF is not
• an option. ICSI has provided a hope for these
  couples.

5

• What is In Vitro Fertilization IVF

• In Vitro Fertilization is an assisted
  reproductive technology (ART) commonly referred
  to as IVF. IVF is the process of fertilization by
  extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and
  then manually
• combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish.
  The embryo
• (s) is then transferred to the uterus. Other
  forms of ART
• include gamete intrafallopian transfer
  (GIFT)and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT).

6

• What is Testicular Sperm Aspiration TESA

• Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a minor
  procedure that
• typically takes 5-10 minutes under sedation. TESA
  is generally an option for men with Obstructive
  Azoospermia where it is
• expected that sperm will be found easily. During
  the procedure, sperm is directly removed from the
  testes to be used in an IVF-ICSI cycle.

7

• What is microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration
  MESA

• Microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration. An
  open surgical
• sperm retrieval procedure that uses an operating
  microscopy to
• locate the tubules of the epididymis precisely,
  so that large
• numbers of sperm can be extracted. 

8

• What is Testicular sperm extraction TESE

• Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is the process
  of removing a small portion of tissue from
  the testicle under local anesthesia and
  extracting the few viable sperm cells present in
  that tissue for intracytoplasmic sperm
  injection (ICSI).1 The testicular sperm
• extraction process is recommended to men who
  cannot produce sperm by ejaculation due
  to azoospermia, such as that caused
• by primary testicular failure, congenital absence
  of the vas
• deferens or non-reconstructed vasectomy.

9

• What is Embryo freezing

• Embryo freezing (cryopreservation) is a method of
  preserving
• the viability of embryos be carefully cooling
  them to very low temperatures (-196oC). This is
  carried out in the laboratory using
• specialised freezing equipment and the embryos
  can then be
• safely stored in liquid nitrogen for extended
  periods.

10

• What is Blastocyst Culture and Transfer

• Blastocyst culture and transfer is a technique
  developed for in vitro fertilization (IVF).  This
  procedure intends to maximize
• pregnancy rates while minimizing the risk of
  multiple
• pregnancies.
• Embryos are typically cultured for 3 days
  (cleavage stage with 4-10 cells) before being
  transferred into the uterus. By extending
• the culture to 5 or 6 days (blastocyst culture),
  some embryos
• will develop to the blastocyst stage (up to
  hundreds of cells). 
• This allows the embryologist to select more
  advanced embryos with better potential for
  implantation at the time of the transfer.

11

• What is Donner egg IVF

• Donner egg IVF is a fertility treatment in which
  the egg from the donor is mixed with the sperm
  donation from the biological
• father in the laboratory. If embryos are produced
  they are
• transferred to the recipients uterus. If this
  results in a 
• pregnancy , the baby thus born will have genetic
  linkage to the donor of eggs.

12

• What is Pregenetic Diagnosis and Screening

• Preimplantation genetic diagnosis. ... The
  term preimplantation genetic screening (PGS)
  refers to the set of techniques for 
• testing whether embryos (obtained
  through IVF/ICSI) have
• abnormal chromosomes' number. In other words, it
  tests if
• embryo is aneuploid or not. PGS is also called
  aneuploidy 
• screening.
