In Vitro Fertilization as the name implies, is a process wherein the egg and
sperm are fertilized outside the woman's body, in a culture dish under
controlled laboratory
conditions. After 2-5 days of incubation in specially gassed incubators, the
resulting embryo (2 cells – blastocyst) is transferred into the uterine cavity
with the hope to
implant and grow into a healthy baby. As stated earlier we use our own media for
IVF. In those cases which are indicated for blastocyst transfer or sequential
transfer we use commercial media as an additional supplement. The indications
for this procedure have already been cited previously. We make sure the couple
attends a counseling class prior to this programme in order to understand the
basic techniques involved, risks, cost and outcomes. Every patient's treatment
and stimulation protocol is individualized since the problems vary from couple
to couple.
Kindly look up our success rates to know the monthly variation of results. Once
the female partner has been adequately prepared (down regulation of endogenous
hormones and stimulated to produce multiple follicles), she is taken up for
oocyte (egg) pick up under short acting anesthesia. If there is no risk of
hyperstimulation wherein an ovarian enlargement is evident and greater numbers
of oocytes are aspirated, the patient can go home the same evening. On the same
day as the oocyte pick up the husband's sperms are collected and after pre
incubation for 2-3 hours, the oocytes are inseminated with pre-prepared sperms
of the husband. The inseminated oocytes are observed 16-18 hours later for the
evidence of fertilization.

MARC
Infertility is a condition when conception does not take place even after one
year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It can affect either the male
or female. It can be due to a variety of factors including endocrine disorders,
defects in the reproductive systems, deficient production of sperms or eggs,
drugs and toxic chemicals, childhood diseases such as mumps, etc. There has been
a recent increase in the number of infertility cases reported throughout the
world. An estimated 10-15% of the married couple initially have the problem and
need evaluation. Approximately 40% of them relate to male, 40% to female and 20%
to both.
Infertility is caused due to a multitude of factors both in the male and the
female. In the male, a low sperm count or defective spermatozoa is a major
factor. Another
common factor that contributes to male infertility is the presence of a
varicocele, which is a cluster of enlarged veins around the testicle. Varicocele
elevates temperature in this part of the body by increasing blood circulation
and the higher temperature reduces sperm production. Defects in the male
reproductive tract can also be responsible for infertility. Childhood disorders
such as mumps may result in permanent damage of the reproductive organs, leading
to infertility. The use of certain drugs and toxic chemicals can contribute to
infertility.

Premature infants and otherswith various difficulties stay in th NICU for expert
care and observation. NICU uses the latest equipment, including intensive care
warming units and incubators to keep infants warm and safe. Computerized
equipment helps our NICU team monitor vital signs. Ventilators help newborns and
underdeveloped lungs to breathe.
Neo - natal intensive care unit is available in very few maternity hospitals in
the city. Srushti is one among the few hospitals that has a good neo - natal
care unit to provide personalized care so that safe motherhood is acheived and
neo - natal mortality rate is considerably reduced.
Spontaneous pregnancy is always a matter of chance. A normal healthy couple in
their 20s, having regular sex, have about a 20% chance of conceiving in any
particular month. For the same couple in their 30s, the chance is about 10%.
