Know about Test Tube Baby and Its Procedures

Test tube baby and IVF terms are always related, and to know about it let us try to understand each and everything in detail. Test tube baby is defined as a term that is referred to a child conceived outside the women’s body. The child is conceived through a scientific process and that is known as In-Vitro fertilization or IVF treatment. In this concern, the entire process is done in a laboratory, where the eggs are taken from the mother’s ovary and are fertilized by the healthy sperms extracted from the father.

The fertilization of the egg is cultured for 2–6 days, where these eggs are then returned back to the mother’s uterus so that the child can be developed normally. The process is done with the intention to ensure about successful pregnancy. Test tube baby procedure is a great help for the women for those who are having infertility problems and that are untreatable to deliver birth to healthy babies.

Test Tube Processes

Now that you know what test tube baby is let us study about the steps that are involved in test tube baby process. The steps are divided in four phases and these are mentioned below:

Process 1: Egg stimulation

At first the patient is given the fertility medications in order to stimulate the production of egg. Here in order to increase the success rate of the treatment, multiple eggs are needed. The complete egg stimulation is guided by Transvaginal ultrasound, where ovaries, blood samples are examined so as to determine the level of hormones.

Step 2 - Egg Retrieval

The second step is egg retrieval where ultra sound is used in order to retain the ovarian follicles. Retrieval of egg is followed with minor surgery, where the complete procedure takes about half an hour, where the follicular fluids are carefully seen so as to trace the proof of available eggs. After this entire procedure, the eggs are preserved in incubator till insemination.

Step 3 - Culture of Fertilization and Embryo

The third step is culture of fertilization and embryo and here for insemination, male sperm sample is collected and the eggs are mixed with the sperms. These are then stored in laboratory and in order to enable the fertilization, single sperm is infused in the egg. 

Step 4 - Transfer of egg and quality of Embryo

The Fourth step is transfer of Embryo, which is the quickest method done in overall treatment. The embryo is assessed on the basis of age and quality, where under the normal situation doctor suggests to transfer single embryo and preserve the rest of them. During transferring, doctor inserts Cather and pushes the pre-determined embryos in the female uterus. 

These are the process of having test tube baby!

Expert Advices to Parents - Be Friends Your Daughters, Should Share Everything

Healthy adolescent girls: Amritdhara My Hospital organises seminar in Noor mahal Hotel; Lady Doctors from across the state attended the seminar.

Jagaran Correspondent: When the girl is adolescent, there are many changes in their body. Secretion of hormone and period also starts. During this period, the girl is unable to understand what is happening with her? This chaos becomes her great problem. This is the time when she needed the guidance of the parents. The problem is that, the parents do not care about it and the girl does not discuss it with anyone due to shame and hesitation and falls prey to many serious diseases.

How the situation is dangerous can be gauged by the fact that about 35% of the girls are undergoing this situation. They suffer serious diseases. The problem is hesitation and ignorance on the part of parents and not the disease which is creating this situation. Due to this, many of the girls even loose the capability of becoming mother.

Around 200 doctors from Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan and UP attended the seminar organised by Amritdhara My Hospital in association with Federation of Obstetrics & Gynecology Society of India – FOGSI, Karnal Chapter. The organiser of the seminar Dr. Jyoti Gupta said that efforts have been made in the seminar to address the difficulties face by women during periods and their remedies, how to control this disease and to disseminate the related information to the common women.  She said, if we talk in medical terms the disease is named as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – PCOS; but in a layman’s term we relate it to period problem.

If period gets delayed by over 40 days, then it is a problem

Female disease specialist Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour said that if the period is delayed by over 40 days in menstruating girls, then you may consider it as a problem. Because it is the beginning of the syndrome. In such a situation you must consult the doctor. This would be possible only when the parents are in talking terms with their daughters on the subject.

Following problems may arise

Due to this disease hair growth is seen on chins and above the upper lip, this can cause uterine cancer. This reason for the disease may be due to taking junk food regularly and not taking the clean or homemade food.

Training will be held on the patterns of Chandigarh and Delhi

The managing director of Amritdhara My Hospital Dr. Rajiv Gupta said that at present the doctors of Karnal and surrounding areas used to go to Delhi and Chandigarh for training but the from now on, the training sessions will be organised in Karnal by his hospital.  The seminar has been organised in this connection.

How it can be prevented?

The best way to mitigate the situation is to reduce one’s weight. Antibiotics like haematoformin and drugs like inositol can be helpful. Gonadotropin injection can help the women facing infertility. The best way, however, remains changing your lifestyle.
