Creating paths to parenthood

What we Offer

Comprehensive Fertility Care, Tailored for You

Antenatal Checkup

Antenatal Checkup

Prenatal care, also known as antenatal care, is a type of preventive healthcare. Its goal is to provide regular check-ups that allow doctors to treat and prevent potential health problems throughout the course of the pregnancy and to promote healthy lifestyles that benefit both mother and child. A proper antenatal check-up provides necessary care to the mother and helps identify any complications of pregnancy such as anemia, pre-eclampsia and hypertension etc. in the mother and slow/inadequate growth of the fetus.

Donor Treatment

Donor Treatment

Starting your own family sometimes is challenging. Despite trying to conceive in natural form, there are couples who still fail and choose IVF for family progression. However, there are couples who still want to consider donor treatment by using donor eggs or donor embryos for donor pregnancy. There are certain cases where patients embark on treatment using eggs or sperm donated either by their relatives or anonymous person. 

Vatsalya offers several options to them from the moderate level of intervention before proceeding with further treatment. 

Fertility Preservation

Fertility Preservation

The desire to give birth to your child has become an increasing real option for the patients surviving cancer treatment or under-going different medical therapies. With the introduction of fertility preservation, the couple today have started taking up the decision of late pregnancy.

While on the other hand, women go for fertility preservation for several reasons including damage to ovaries or due to constant exposure to toxic chemicals, while men take the treatment if wanting to go for vasectomy procedures or any other radiated treatment. 

Hence, preserving a protective tissue through fertility preservation can prevent the scenario of child-bearing delays and its associated complications. 

Infertility Treatment

Infertility Treatment

Finding out that you and your partner are unable to carry the family legacy can be upsetting, daunting and agonizing. But remember you are not alone, as plenty of Nepalese couple faces the situation of infertility despite frequent unprotected intercourse for years.

Infertility may result when a woman is unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy for long-term or when a male member fails to produce quality sperms. Fortunately, several safe and effective therapies improve the chances of getting pregnant and building your family. Followed by a few investigations and tests, the infertility specialist can provide appropriate recommendation for the male and female infertility treatment. It might be regulating hormones with certain drugs or choosing from some Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). IUI, IVF, IVF with ICSI are few common fertility treatments provided to infertile couples.

Infertility Diagnosis

Infertility Diagnosis

Infertility generally occurs when the couple fail to conceive despite regular inter course of more than 12 months without using any birth controls. It may be that one partner who is unable to hold pregnancy for 9 months or the other one who cannot contribute to conception.

Among the 60 million couple diagnosed with infertility, the majority are from the developing countries. Negative causes of secondary infertility and reproductive outcomes are basically from an unhealthy lifestyle such as obesity, poor diet, excessive stress, late marriage, frequent abortion, drinking and smoking.

FAQs

Answers to Your Fertility Questions

What is infertility?

+

It is a condition of the reproductive system in which the couples are unable to conceive even after trying for more than a year without the use of any type of contraceptives.

Is infertility primarily a woman's problem?

+

It is a common assumption that infertility is primarily related to the woman. In reality, only one-third of infertility cases are related to the woman alone. Statistically, one-third of infertility problems are related to men and the remaining one-third is a combination of fertility factors involving both partners or due to unknown causes. Unknown causes account for approximately twenty percent of infertility cases.

Does age have any role on infertility?

+

Age affects the ability to conceive and have a healthy baby. Age is the single biggest factor affecting a woman’s fertility. For men, age-related fertility decline is more subtle but does happen. A woman’s fertility starts to decline in her early 30s, with the decline speeding up after 35.

What is IUI process?

+

IUI stands for intrauterine insemination. It is one of the common techniques of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). In this process, the processed (washed) sperm is used and put directly to the female’s uterus. This process is matched with natural ovulating cycle.

बाँझोपन भनेको के हो?

+

कुनै पनि गर्भरोधक साधनको प्रयोगबिना १ वर्षभन्दा बढी समय सम्म गर्भधारण गर्न नसकिएको अवस्था बाँझोपन हो ।

IUI Success Rate in Nepal

For many individuals and couples facing fertility challenges, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) has emerged as a beacon of hope. As a first-line, minimally invasive fertility treatment, IUI is gaining global attention, including in Nepal, due to its cost-effectiveness and accessibility.

IUI is often recommended before proceeding to more complex treatments like IVF. This procedure involves directly inserting sperm into the uterus, increasing the chances of fertilization. The simplicity and relatively low cost of IUI make it an attractive initial option for those seeking to conceive.

Key Takeaways

●      Understanding IUI as a cost-effective fertility treatment.

●      Recognizing the factors that influence IUI outcomes.

●      Learning about the typical timeline for IUI treatment.

●      Identifying the benefits of choosing IUI over other fertility treatments.

●      Preparing for the IUI procedure and what to expect.

Understanding IUI as a Fertility Treatment

As a fertility treatment, IUI stands out for its minimally invasive nature and relatively high IUI success rate. This makes it an attractive option for many individuals and couples facing fertility challenges.

What Makes IUI a Popular First-Line Treatment

IUI is often chosen as a first-line treatment due to its simplicity and the low risk of complications. It's a procedure where sperm is directly inserted into the uterus, increasing the chances of fertilization.

When Doctors Recommend IUI Before IVF

Doctors often recommend IUI before considering IVF, especially for patients with a good prognosis. Factors such as age, overall health, and the cause of infertility are considered. For instance, a list of criteria might include:

●      Age under 35

●      No known severe male factor infertility

●      Normal ovarian reserve

By understanding these factors, healthcare providers can better advise on the most suitable IUI treatment pathway.

What Is IUI and How Does It Work?

The process of IUI involves placing washed sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. This fertility treatment is used for various infertility issues, including unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, PCOS, and cervical factor issues.

The Step-by-Step IUI Procedure

IUI is a relatively straightforward procedure that involves several key steps. First, the sperm is prepared through a process known as sperm washing.

Sperm Washing and Preparation

Sperm washing is a laboratory process that separates the sperm from the seminal fluid. This step is crucial as it removes prostaglandins and other factors that could cause uterine cramping or other adverse reactions. The resulting sperm sample is then concentrated and prepared for insemination.

The Insemination Process

During the insemination process, the prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a catheter. This procedure is typically done during ovulation, which is often triggered or monitored through ultrasound to ensure the best timing for fertilization.

Ideal Candidates for IUI Treatment

IUI is often recommended for couples facing specific fertility challenges. Two common indications for IUI are unexplained infertility cases and cervical factor issues.

Unexplained Infertility Cases

For couples with unexplained infertility, IUI can be a first-line treatment. It increases the chances of fertilization by placing sperm closer to the egg.

Cervical Factor Issues

Cervical factor issues, such as cervical scarring or abnormal mucus production, can hinder sperm passage. IUI bypasses these issues by directly placing sperm into the uterus, thus improving the chances of conception.

IUI Success Rate: What the Statistics Tell Us

Understanding the success rate of IUI is essential for managing expectations and making informed decisions about fertility care. The success rate of IUI varies based on several factors, including patient age, fertility diagnosis, and the specific treatment protocol used.

Average Success Rates Per Cycle (10-20%)

Most clinics report a 10–20% success rate per IUI cycle based on patient factors. This rate indicates that out of 100 women undergoing IUI, 10 to 20 can expect to achieve a pregnancy in a single cycle.

Variation Between Clinics and Patients

Success rates can vary significantly between different clinics and patient populations. Factors contributing to this variation include:

●      Age of the female partner

●      Underlying fertility diagnosis

●      Quality of sperm used

●      Specific medication protocols employed

Patients must discuss their circumstances with their healthcare provider to understand their chances of success.

How Success Rates Are Calculated and Reported

IUI success rates are typically calculated based on the number of pregnancies achieved per cycle of treatment. Clinics may report their success rates differently, with some using cumulative success rates over multiple cycles. Understanding how success rates are calculated can help patients make more informed decisions about their treatment options.

Cumulative Success Over Multiple IUI Cycles

For many couples, the journey to success with IUI involves multiple cycles, and understanding this can be incredibly empowering. While a single cycle's success rate is important, it's the cumulative effect over several attempts that often leads to pregnancy.

Building Success Rates Through 3-6 Cycles

Research indicates that cumulative pregnancy rates can significantly increase with multiple IUI cycles. Specifically, after 3–6 cycles, cumulative pregnancy rates can reach 30–60%. This is because each cycle provides a new opportunity for fertilization.

●      Each cycle offers a fresh chance for conception.

●      Cumulative rates provide a more accurate picture of IUI's potential.

When to Consider Moving to Other Treatments

While multiple IUI cycles can be successful, there's a point at which continuing may not be the best option. Typically, if there's no success after six cycles, doctors may recommend exploring alternative treatments like IVF.

The Six-Cycle Threshold

Many fertility specialists suggest that if pregnancy hasn't occurred after six IUI cycles, it may be time to consider other options. This threshold is a general guideline and can vary based on individual circumstances.

Age as a Critical Factor in IUI Outcomes

When it comes to IUI, age is not just a number; it's a critical factor that affects the chances of success. The age of the woman undergoing IUI significantly influences the outcome of the treatment.

IUI Success Rate by Age: The Numbers

Statistics show that women under 35 typically have higher success rates with IUI compared to those over 35. This difference is largely due to the decline in egg quality and quantity with age.

Understanding Ovarian Reserve and Its Impact

Ovarian reserve refers to the quantity and quality of eggs in a woman's ovaries. As age increases, the ovarian reserve decreases, impacting IUI success rates.

Testing Options for Ovarian Reserve

Several tests are available to assess ovarian reserve, including the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test and the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test. These tests help fertility specialists understand a woman's potential response to IUI.

Understanding these factors can help individuals make informed decisions about their fertility treatment options.

Medical Conditions Affecting IUI Success

Understanding how medical conditions affect IUI success rates is crucial for individuals undergoing fertility treatment. Certain health conditions can significantly influence the outcome of IUI, making it essential to consider these factors when evaluating treatment options.

IUI Success Rate in PCOS Patients

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition among women of reproductive age and is known to affect fertility. Women with PCOS often experience irregular ovulation, which can be addressed through ovulation induction strategies, thereby improving IUI success rates.

Impact of Endometriosis and Other Conditions

Endometriosis is another condition that can impact IUI success rates. The presence of endometrial lesions can lead to inflammation and scarring, potentially affecting fertility. Other conditions, such as uterine abnormalities or tubal damage, can also influence IUI outcomes.

When to Consider Alternative Treatments

In cases where IUI is not successful due to underlying medical conditions, alternative treatments such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) may be recommended. IVF can offer higher success rates for individuals with complex fertility issues.

Healthcare providers need to assess individual conditions and tailor treatment plans accordingly. By understanding the impact of medical conditions on IUI success, individuals can make informed decisions about their fertility treatment.

Male Factor Infertility and IUI Outcomes

Understanding how male factor infertility affects IUI success rates is essential for managing expectations and making informed decisions. Male factor infertility refers to fertility issues attributed to the male partner, often related to sperm quality.

Sperm Quality Parameters That Matter

Sperm quality is a critical determinant of IUI success. Key parameters include count, motility, and morphology.

Count, Motility, and Morphology

Sperm count refers to the number of sperm in a given sample. A higher count increases the chances of successful fertilization. Sperm motility is the ability of sperm to move properly through the female reproductive tract. Morphology refers to the shape and structure of sperm, with normal morphology being crucial for fertilization.

When IUI Is and Isn't Recommended for Male Fertility Issues

IUI can be a viable option for couples dealing with mild male factor infertility. However, in cases of severe male factor infertility, other treatments like IVF or ICSI may be more appropriate.

Mild vs. Severe Male Factor Infertility

Mild male factor infertility might involve slightly reduced sperm count or motility, where IUI could still be effective. Severe male factor infertility involves significantly impaired sperm parameters, making IUI less likely to succeed.

Medication Protocols to Improve IUI Success

Understanding the different medication protocols is essential for maximizing IUI success rates. Medication protocols can significantly influence the outcome of IUI treatments by optimizing the conditions for fertilization.

Natural Cycle vs. Stimulated IUI

IUI can be performed in a natural cycle or in a stimulated cycle with medication. In a natural cycle, the body produces its hormones without any external stimulation. In contrast, a stimulated cycle involves the use of medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, increasing the chances of fertilization.

IUI Success Rate Second Time: What to Expect

A second IUI cycle can bring a mix of emotions, but understanding the factors that influence success can help manage expectations. Couples often wonder if their chances improve with a second attempt.

Factors That May Change Between Cycles

Several factors can change between the first and second IUI cycles, potentially impacting the success rate. These include adjustments in medication, changes in sperm quality, and modifications in the timing of the procedure.

Learning from Previous Attempts

Analyzing the outcomes of the first cycle can provide valuable insights for the second cycle. This includes understanding how the body responds to stimulation medications and identifying any issues with sperm quality.

Adjustments That Can Improve Subsequent Cycles

Based on the outcomes of the first cycle, several adjustments can be made to improve the chances of success in the second cycle.

Medication and Timing Modifications

Modifying the medication protocol or the timing of the IUI procedure can significantly impact the success rate. For instance, adjusting the dosage of fertility drugs or the timing of the insemination relative to ovulation can improve outcomes.

Adjustment

Potential Impact

Medication Protocol Change

Improved egg quality and quantity

Timing Modification

Better synchronization with ovulation

Sperm Quality Improvement

Enhanced fertilization potential

 

Understanding these factors and making informed adjustments can help couples approaching a second IUI cycle to better their chances of success.

IUI Success Rate vs Natural Conception

Understanding how IUI success rates stack up against natural conception can help couples make informed decisions about their fertility treatment options. When comparing the two, it's essential to consider various factors that influence success rates.

When IUI Offers Significant Advantages

IUI can offer significant advantages over natural conception for couples facing specific fertility challenges. For instance, unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, and cervical factor infertility are conditions where IUI can improve chances of conception.

Specific Fertility Challenges

Couples dealing with:

●      Unexplained infertility

●      Mild male factor infertility

●      Cervical factor infertility

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Intervention

When evaluating IUI, it's crucial to consider both the financial and emotional aspects. While IUI can be more expensive than attempting natural conception, its benefits often outweigh the costs for many couples.

Financial and Emotional Considerations

The financial investment in IUI includes the cost of the procedure, medications, and any additional testing. Emotionally, the process can be taxing, but the potential for success can make it a worthwhile endeavor. Couples should weigh these factors when deciding on IUI.

The Complete IUI Timeline: From Preparation to Pregnancy Test

Couples considering IUI often wonder what the entire process entails, from the initial tests to the final pregnancy test. Understanding this timeline can help manage expectations and prepare them for what's ahead.

Pre-Treatment Testing and Preparation

Before undergoing the IUI procedure, several steps are taken to ensure that it's the right treatment option and to maximize its chances of success. This phase involves various tests and consultations.

Required Tests and Consultations

Typically, the pre-treatment phase includes:

●      Semen analysis to assess sperm quality and count.

●      Ultrasound to evaluate the uterus and ovaries.

●      Blood tests to check hormone levels and overall health.

●      A consultation with a fertility specialist to discuss the results and the IUI process.

The Two-Week Wait and Beyond

After the IUI procedure, there's a waiting period, often referred to as the "two-week wait," before the pregnancy test. This can be an anxious time for couples.

What to Expect After the Procedure

During the two-week wait, patients are usually advised to:

  1. Continue with any prescribed medications to support implantation.
  2. Avoid strenuous activities that could potentially disrupt the implantation process.
  3. Attend a follow-up appointment for a pregnancy test, usually about two weeks after the IUI.

Understanding the complete IUI timeline helps couples feel more prepared and in control of their fertility journey. By knowing what to expect at each stage, they can better navigate the process and make informed decisions.

Conclusion: Making Informed Decisions About IUI Treatment

Understanding the intricacies of IUI success rate and the factors that influence it is crucial for individuals and couples considering fertility treatment. As discussed, IUI treatment offers a viable option for many, with success rates varying based on age, medical conditions, and other factors.

By grasping the elements that impact IUI success, such as sperm quality, ovarian reserve, and the use of medication protocols, patients can make informed decisions about their treatment path. The cumulative success rate over multiple IUI cycles and the comparison with natural conception rates further aid in setting realistic expectations.

Ultimately, being well-informed about IUI treatment and its success rates empowers individuals to navigate their fertility journey with confidence. Consulting with fertility specialists and understanding the personalized factors at play can significantly enhance the chances of a successful outcome.

सम्हालिनुहोस् : अपेक्षा पूर्ण गर्न सम्भव छ

हाम्रो जीवनको हरेक क्षण आकाङ्क्षाहरूले भरिएको हुन्छ। जन्म देखि मृत्युसम्मको यो घडीमा हामी तिनै आकाङ्क्षाहरू पूर्ति गर्नमा समय व्यतीत गर्छौँ। त्यसैले त हामी हाम्रा आकाङ्क्षाहरू पूरा हुँदा निकै खुसी हुन्छौँ र पूरा नहुँदा निकै हतास। आज म आफ्नो आकाङ्क्षाहरूका कथा सुनाउन जाँदै छु।

म मध्यम वर्गीय नेपाली परिवारमा जन्मेर हुर्केकी महिला हुँ। मलाई पनि अरू छोरीहरूलाई जस्तै आफ्नो लक्ष्य अनुसार मेरा बाबा आमाले हुर्काउनु भएको थियो। मेरो हुर्काइको क्रममा समाजमा भएका र हुने गरेका संस्कार, सामाजिक मूल्य मान्यता छोरी हुनुको नाताले छोरीले गर्नु पर्ने संस्कारी बोली व्यवहार सिकाइएको थियो। म २० वर्षकी हुँदासम्म घरको काममा सघाउने, पढ्ने, भाइहरूको हेरविचार गर्ने, खेतिपातिको काममा सामान्य सहयोग गर्ने, आफूले नि पढ्ने गरेर बितेको थियो। म ब्याचलर पढ्दै गर्दा, आफन्तहरूबाट आएको प्रस्तावबाट मेरो मागी विवाह भएको थियो।

दिनहरू रमाइलो सँग चलिरहेका थिए, विवाह भएको २-३ वर्ष सम्म त ठिकै थियो, त्यस पछि हामीले बच्चा जन्माउने रहर गर्न थाल्यौ। परिवार नियोजनका कुनै साधन प्रयोग नगर्दा पनि गर्भ रहेको थिएन। यसै बिचमा मलाई घरमा अनि माइतमा पनि अब त बच्चा पाउनु पर्‍यो नि, के गरेका यिनीहरूले भन्न थालेका थिए। यता हाम्रो प्रयास पनि खेर गैरहेको बेला अरूलाई जवाफ दिन गारो परिरहेको थियो। हामी श्रीमान् श्रीमती पनि ३-४ वर्ष भइसक्दा पनि गर्भ नरहँदा चिन्तित हुन थालेका थियौँ। तर मेरो श्रीमानले आजभोलि धेरै प्रविधि छन् अब जँचाउनु पर्छ भनी रहनु भएको थियो। यस्तै चली रहँदा हामीलाई परिवार देखि समाजले प्रश्न गर्न थालेका थिए। के कारणले तिमीहरू बच्चा जन्माउँदैनौ भन्ने कुराहरू बेला बेला आइरहन्थे। प्राय: ममाथि नै अरूले शङ्काको तेर्सो लगाउँथे। पटक पटक मेरो शारीरिक अवस्थामाथि गरिएको प्रतिक्रियाले मलाई आफ्नो स्वाभिमान र आत्मविश्वासमा ठेस पुगेको महसुस हुन्थ्यो। आफ्ना निकै नजिकका नातेदारहरूबाट मैले कहिल्यै त्यस्तो व्यवहारको आशा गरेकी थिइनँ, तर म उनीहरूलाई मनाउने अवस्थामा थिइनँ।

हामी कामको सिलसिलामा बाहिर बस्छौँ। चाडबाड, सामाजिक, धार्मिक कार्यक्रमहरूमा घरमा जाँदा समेत छरछिमेक, नातेदारहरूले बच्चा किन नभएको भन्दै प्रश्न गर्दा मलाई निकै अप्ठ्यारो लाग्थ्यो। कुन मुखले के जवाफ दिनु भन्ने लागेर म मौन बस्थेँ।

अब त माइतीमा जाँदा पनि मेरा साथीहरू आफ्ना प्यारा प्यारा बच्चा लिएर आउँदा मलाई खिन्न हुन थालेको छ। जता गए पनि तिमी भन्दा पछि विवाह गरेकी ऊ शर्मिलाको दुई वटा बच्चा भइसके तिम्रो किन हो, के भयो, जुवाइँ सँग त राम्रो नै छ नि भनेर हाम्रो सम्बन्धमा समेत शङ्का गर्न थालेका छन्। म “होइन, केही छैन” भन्न समेत अप्ठ्यारो मान्न थालेकी छु।

पनि रहर पूरा नहुँदा साँच्चै नै नरमाइलो लाग्छ। कहिलेकसो त यति खालि महसुस हुन्छ कि कसैसँमेरो भाइ बुहारीको विवाह भएको एक वर्षमै बच्चा भयो। देवर देउरानीको पनि एक वर्षकी छोरी भइसकी। उनीहरूको भयो भनेर मलाई भाइको भइसक्यो, दिदीको विवाह भएको यतिका वर्ष भइसक्यो, के भयो भन्दै सबैले सोध्ने गरेकोले मलाई मनमा चिसो पस्ने गरेको छ। घरपरिवारमा अनि समाजमा आफू भन्दा साना उमेरकाले बच्चा लिएर हिँड्दा मलाई रहर लागेर आउँछ। रहर लाग्नु सामान्य कुरा हो,तर प्रयास गर्दा गर्दै पनि रहर पूरा नहुँदा साँच्चै नै नरमाइलो लाग्छ। कहिलेकसो त यति खालि महसुस हुन्छ कि कसैसँग नबोली ढोका बन्द गरेर दिन बिताउँछु। आजभोलि श्रीमान् पनि पहिले जस्तो नम्र स्वभावको हुनुहुन्न। किन हो, उहाँले अर्को विवाह गर्नुहुन्छ कि भन्ने डर मनमा लागिरहन्छ। यसमा न मेरो, न उहाँको केही दोष छ। तैपनि पीडा र वेदना भने महिलाले नै भोग्नुपर्ने रहेछ।

हामीले उपचार पनि गर्दै छौ, तर कारण पत्ता लागेको छैन। घर परिवार, नातागोता पनि मेरो मात्रै कमजोरी होला जस्तो कुरा गर्छन्। समाजमा मेरो मात्र नभई अरू बच्चा नभएको महिलाको कारणले नै होला जस्तो कुरा हुन्छ। यस्ता कुरा बढी मैले नै सुन्नु पर्छ त्यसैले मलाई दिक्क लागेर आउँछ। अब त कतै सामाजिक कार्यक्रममा पनि जान नपरे हुन्थ्यो जस्तो लाग्छ। देवर देवरानीको बिहेको १ वर्षमै बच्चा हुँदा, मेरो श्रीमानले मलाई मेरै गल्तीले बच्चा नजन्मिएको हो जसरी गाली गरिरहनु भएको थियो। श्रीमानलाई “हजुरको पनि त समस्या हुन सक्छ। हस्पिटल गएर अलि राम्रोसँग चेक गराऔँ न त” भन्न मन थियो तर अनायासै उहाँको रिस देखेर मुख खोल्ने आँट गर्न सकिनँ। यस्तो हुँदा मलाई धेरै रुन मन लाग्छ, अहिले त को सँग रुने, साथी समेत पाउन छाडिसके। कसैसँग पनि खुलेर कुरा गर्न सक्दिनँ। समाजमा हुने शुभ कार्य, शुभ साइतमा समेत बच्चा नपाएकी महिला देख्यो भने साइत पर्दैन भन्छन्, त्यस्तो कुराले मलाई अझ दु:ख लाग्छ। श्रीमान् पनि मेरै कारणले नभएको जस्तो गरी तानाबाना सुनाउनु हुन्छ।

सासु आमाले पनि मलाइ हेयको दृष्टिले हेर्न थाल्नु भएको छ। यसको बच्चा भएन, तैले नि:सन्तान भएर बस्ने कुरा हुँदैन बाबु, अब विकल्प खोज्नपर्छ भन्न थाल्नु भएको छ। पहिला कति माया गर्ने सासु आमा अहिले मलाई अलछिना, थारी, साइतको बेलामा यसको मुख हेर्न हुँदैन भन्न थाल्नु भएको छ। अब त हुँदा हुँदा ससुरालाई समेत मेरो विरुद्ध बोल्न बाध्य पर्न थाल्नु भएको छ। ससुरा बा पनि एउटा नाति दिन सकिनस् भन्दै तनाव दिन थाल्नु भएको छ। मेरो श्रीमान् आमा बाको कुरा सुनेर मलाई नै गलत देख्न थाल्नु भएको छ। यस्तो घरपरिवार र समाजबाट अवहेलना हुँदा मलाई दिन पनि रात जस्तै अँध्यारो भएको छ। सहयोग गर्ने, सल्लाह दिने कोही पाएकी छैन। समस्याको समाधान भन्दा पनि मलाइ नै दोष थोपरेर सबै उम्कन खोज्दै छन्।

यति हुँदा पनि म हरेस भने खाएकी छैन, मैले विभिन्न उपचार पद्धति बारेमा अध्ययन गरेकी छु। राम्रो सँग चेक जाँच गरेको खण्डमा समाधानको बाटो पनि हुछ भन्ने मलाई आशा छ। गत महिना माइत जाँदा आमाले एकजना उपचार गरेर बच्चा भएकी मेरी साथी सँग सोध्नु भएको रहेछ। आमाले त्यही बारेमा मलाई भन्नु भएको थियो, त्यसको ठेगाना लेखेर ल्याउनु भको रैछ, अब श्रीमान् लाई भनेर यी प्रविधि मध्ये IVF प्रभावकारी हुन्छ भन्ने सुनेकी छु। कति दम्पतिले त सामान्य औषधोपचार गराएर पनि सन्तान जन्माएको कुरा सुन्दा मेरो हौसला अझै बढेको छ। अब मैले निराश हुनु भन्दा पनि उपचार पद्दतिमा लाग्ने प्रण गरेकी छु। श्रीमानसँग खुलेर आफ्नो समस्या भन्ने अठोटमा छु। नि:सन्तानको परिस्थिति कठिन अवश्य छ तर श्रीमान श्रीमतीको दृढ प्रयत्न र धैर्यताबाट पार लगाउन सकिन्छ। हामी दम्पतिको जीवनशैली र खानपानको कारणले पनि नि:सन्तानको समस्या देखिएको हुन सक्छ। त्यसैले हामी दम्पति सर्वप्रथम आफ्नो स्वास्थ्यमा ध्यान दिने अठोट राखेका छौँ। मैले नि:सन्तानको यात्रामा यति कुरा थाहा पाएकी छु कि कुराहरू मनमा लुकाउन भन्दा भएको समस्यालाई स्वीकार गरेर समस्याको समाधानतिर जति छिटो जान सक्यौँ, त्यति नै यो यात्रा सहज हुने रहेछ। आशा सबैभन्दा ठुलो हतियार हो। मेरो यही आशा छ, हाम्रो घरमा शीघ्र सन्तानको आगमन हुने छ।

Vatsalya Natural IVF: The Best Fertility Centre in Nepal

In a world where the dream of starting a family is universal, the challenges of infertility can be daunting. However, amidst these challenges, Vatsalya Natural IVF emerges as a ray of hope, dedicated to providing cutting-edge fertility treatments. This article aims to explore the multifaceted aspects of Vatsalya Natural IVF, from its mission and role in addressing infertility in Nepal to the personalized care provided by the best fertility doctors in Nepal.

Understanding Infertility

Infertility, often characterized by the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse, is a complex issue affecting many couples globally. In Nepal, where cultural and societal factors play a significant role in family life, understanding and addressing infertility become crucial.

In Nepal, understanding infertility poses a unique challenge. The cultural norms and societal taboos often prevent individuals from openly discussing sexual health. As a result, instead of consulting fertility experts at best fertility center in Nepal, many rely on information passed down from neighbors and relatives. This practice often leads them to adhere to orthodox social rituals in the hope of overcoming their fertility issues. Unfortunately, by the time they decide to seek professional help from best fertility doctors in Nepal, they have already endured a significant amount of hardship.

This journey, while deeply personal and often painful, highlights the urgent need for accessible and reliable infertility treatments in Nepal. It underscores the importance of fostering an environment where discussions about sexual health are normalized, and expert advice is sought promptly from renowned fertility care center in Nepal like Vatsalya Natural IVF.

This is the path towards a future where infertility is understood, treated effectively, and perhaps, even prevented.

Infertility Rate in Nepal

In Nepal, the infertility rate is approximately 13-15%. The total fertility rate, which refers to the average number of children a woman of childbearing age can expect to have throughout her reproductive years, remained around 2.03 children per woman in 2021 which has decreased significantly.

Several factors contribute to infertility in Nepal. Among the biological factors, abnormalities in the reproductive tract, quality of sperm and embryo, and immunological factors are common. Lifestyle factors such as sedentary lifestyle, heavy use of alcohol, smoking, late marriage, miscarriages, and frequent abortions also play a significant role.

In addition, the heavy use of insecticides and pesticides in farming, which are consumed through fruits and vegetables, is another factor that results in infertility. Furthermore, the migration of young fertile groups for jobs, who return home after a long gap, may have reduced fertility. It’s also worth noting that sexually transmitted diseases can cause infertility

These factors are contributing towards increase of infertility rate in Nepal highlighting the complexity of addressing infertility in Nepal and underscore the need for comprehensive healthcare interventions.

Overview of Infertility Treatment in Nepal

Infertility treatment in Nepal has seen significant advancements in recent years, with several fertility centers offering a range of services to address various infertility issues. The treatment options include Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), Natural IVF treatment, Mini IVF, ICSI, PGD, PGS, Male Infertility Treatment, Egg Freezing, Sperm Freezing, Embryo Freezing etc. (IVF treatment is widely understood as test tube baby in Nepal)

These treatments are provided by highly skilled and experienced infertility treatment experts at affordable costs. However, the services are mostly centralized, and there is a need for the government to commit resources to include decentralized service of Infertility treatment and IVF at the province or district level.

Furthermore, creating awareness and sensitizing people at the community level regarding fertility issues is crucial. Despite the challenges, Nepal has emerged as a popular destination for IVF treatment due to its experienced fertility specialists, modern facilities, affordable treatment options, and supportive legal framework for assisted reproductive technology.

Introduction to Test Tube Baby (IVF) Procedure at Vatsalya Natural IVF

One of the groundbreaking fertility treatments offered by Vatsalya Natural IVF in Nepal is the Test Tube Baby procedure. Contrary to the worldwide IVF success rate of 30-35%, it has been continuously achieving IVF success rate of 60-80%.

The Test Tube Baby procedure, also known as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) offered by Vatsalya Natural IVF, a leading fertility center in Nepal, begins with ovarian induction, where medication is administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs. Regular ultrasound or blood tests are conducted to monitor hormone levels and egg production. Once the ovaries have produced enough mature eggs, they are retrieved from the body in a minor operation. These eggs are then mixed with sperm in a laboratory to facilitate fertilization. The resulting embryos are monitored for a few days before being implanted into the uterus.

While undergoing fertility treatments at Vatsalya Natural IVF, couples have the option to choose between fresh and frozen embryo transfers. A fresh embryo transfer involves the immediate transfer of a newly fertilized embryo into the woman’s uterus during the same menstrual cycle in which the eggs were retrieved. This process is quick but can be physically demanding due to the hormonal stimulation involved in egg production.

On the other hand, a frozen embryo transfer allows for the embryos to be cryopreserved and transferred in a subsequent menstrual cycle. This approach offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides the couple with ample time to recover from the effects of ovarian hyperstimulation, a common side effect of fertility drugs used in the IVF process. Secondly, it allows for close monitoring of the uterine lining (endometrium) to ensure optimal conditions for embryo implantation. The endometrium plays a crucial role in the success of the embryo transfer, as a thick and healthy lining improves the chances of the embryo implanting and developing successfully.

Therefore, while both methods have their merits, the choice between fresh and frozen embryo transfer ultimately depends on the specific circumstances and needs of the couple, guided by the advice of their fertility specialist. It’s important to note that both methods have been used successfully in fertility treatments, contributing to the joy of parenthood for numerous couples.

Vatsalya Natural IVF’s approach to the Test Tube Baby procedure is marked by their commitment to individualized care, ensuring that each patient’s unique needs are met.
