Cabell Huntington Hospital
Couples who are having difficulty conceiving a child can find help at Cabell
Huntington Hospital's Center for Advanced Reproductive Medicine. Under the
direction of William Burns, MD, and clinical embryologist Melissa Kyslinger, the
center offers diagnostic testing for men and women, including assisted
reproductive technology such as intrauterine insemination, in vitro
fertilization, oral and injectable "fertility drugs" and surgery.
Dr. Burns commonly treats patients with infertility caused by endometriosis,
tubal scarring or blockage, polycystic ovary syndrome and other diseases
associated with
infrequent or irregular menstruation and ovulation. Couples in whom the male
partner has suboptimal sperm production (male factor infertility) and female
patients with
cervical and uterine disorders interfering with fertility are also treated.
Cabell Huntington Hospital has a special in vitro fertilization laboratory in
which Burns and Kyslinger perform microscopic procedures such as sperm
preparation for oocyte (egg) retrieval, embryo transfers and cryo-preservation
of sperm and embryos. Two other special procedures to assist couples who are
trying to have a baby include
intracytoplasmic sperm injections for low sperm counts and assisted hatching, in
which the egg shell is softened so it will implant in the uterus more easily.
