Fertility treatment, often referred to as infertility treatment, is designed for couples who struggle to conceive a child. This difficulty may stem from age-related factors, ovulation disorders, tubal issues, sperm-related problems, or other unexplained causes.
Today, there are numerous advanced medical interventions available to enhance reproductive capabilities. These artificial methods offer various options for couples aiming to improve their chances of conception. Let's explore some of these fertility treatments.
These medications help regulate reproductive hormones, promoting the release of one or two eggs per ovulation cycle to enhance the chances of conception. Typically used by women for 3-6 months, oral medications like Clomiphene citrate cost less than ₹100 per strip.
Couples can use donated sperm or eggs for artificial fertilisation through laboratory procedures. The process involves selecting a donor, undergoing medical treatments, various tests, and fertilisation itself. Younger couples are often preferred for egg donation, making donor sperm/eggs a viable option for older couples.
Women with blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, or genetic issues may need surgery. Conditions such as endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome might be treated with laparoscopic or laparotomy procedures, with costs starting from ₹20,000 for laparoscopic surgery for blocked tubes.
This procedure involves placing sperm directly into the uterus near the egg using a catheter, costing around ₹10,000.
This technique involves injecting sperm directly into an ovum to achieve pregnancy, costing ₹4-5 lakh in India, and is beneficial for severe male infertility cases.
GIFT involves placing both sperm and egg into the fallopian tubes for natural fertilisation, costing ₹10-14 lakh. It’s suitable for women with cervical issues or men with low sperm counts.
ZIFT places a fertilised egg into the fallopian tube after artificial fertilisation. It is also costly due to the laparoscopic procedure involved.
In this method, a surrogate mother carries the pregnancy for the couple using their embryos. The surrogate is not the biological mother but the birth mother.
IVF involves removing eggs from the mother, fertilising them externally with sperm, and then placing the embryos back into the mother’s womb. This procedure requires fertility drugs and careful monitoring by a specialist. The fertilised embryo is transferred into the uterine cavity via a small tube.
After completing the IVF process, doctors typically recommend at least 24 hours of complete bed rest. The success of IVF depends on several factors, including the clinic's quality, the woman's age, and other health considerations. An IVF cycle generally costs between ₹2.5 lakhs and ₹4 lakhs. Additional expenses for medications, tests, or procedures like Frozen Embryo Transfer can further increase the total cost.
