Asmita Dubey (Anchor) NDTV News: "Hello and a warm welcome to all of you. I am Asmita Dubey. As you can see behind me, what have we written? We have with us Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour. Dr. Shivani, child marriages often lead to not only physical problems but also mental distress. Marrying at such a young age not only affects the current generation but also poses challenges for future generations, doesn’t it?"
Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour: "Absolutely correct, Jyoti. Physically and mentally, a girl under the age of eighteen is never ready for this responsibility because her development is not complete at this stage. The reason it is so dangerous is that studies, especially those on maternal mortality (the death of a mother during pregnancy), have shown that the highest death rate is found in girls who get pregnant under the age of eighteen. This is a United Nations developmental goal, and it reflects on the development index of an entire country, which includes the maternal mortality rate.
Pregnancy at this age is the most dangerous time for a girl, and it is crucial to emphasize and understand this. For instance, anemia is very common among these girls, with over fifty percent being anemic. Pregnancy in such cases increases the risk of miscarriage, abortion, and infections like sepsis, which can spread beyond the uterus and become life-threatening. Another concern is bleeding, which we call antepartum hemorrhage, and conditions like eclampsia or pre-eclampsia where blood pressure rises, leading to severe complications.
In this insightful discussion, tennis star Sania Mirza talks with renowned IVF specialist Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a common condition affecting women's fertility. They delve into the symptoms, impact on women's health, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Shivani shares her expertise on managing PCOS, offering advice on lifestyle changes, fertility treatments, and maintaining a healthy balance. This conversation aims to raise awareness and provide valuable insights for women dealing with PCOS.
About two years ago, a study was published revealing that in two rodent species — the Eastern European wolf and the spiny rats of Japan — the Y chromosome has disappeared. The research also indicated that these two rodent species have developed a new sex-determining mechanism in another chromosome, where the SRY gene, which typically determines male sex on the Y chromosome, has been relocated. Despite the disappearance of the Y chromosome in these species, males are still being produced because the sex-determining function has been transferred to another chromosome.
In humans, the Y-chromosome is about one-third the size of the X chromosome and contains around 100 genes. In comparison, the X chromosome, which is present in females, has about 900 genes. Over the years, approximately 90% of the genes on the Y chromosome have been lost, and now only about 55 genes remain. It is estimated that it will take another 10-11 million years for the Y chromosome to potentially lose all of its genes.
Doctor's Talk: Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour on Zee Bharat News
Why Age Matters in Egg Freezing! Age has an important impact and between mid 40s to late 40s the fertility is almost non-equal. Some patients before 30 years For example, if they have been diagnosed with cancer or endometriosis, they come in between 25 to 30 years to get their egg freezing done.
Understanding Hormonal Injections in Egg Freezing The injections of hormones take every hours because its effect is very temporary, there is no long lasting side effect. So, this medical point of view is the biggest concern. The second concern is that will the freezing cause damage to the egg? Will there be any genetic problem in the egg freezing? So, we want to clarify the myth of this that if you take out the egg after freezing, it literally looks like it has been bathed.
How Does Age Affect Egg Quality? With age, the quality of the eggs changes a lot. This is called a biological clock of a woman. from the age of 30 to 35, the best age is for you to do egg freezing. After 35 years, the number and quantity of eggs decrease.
Debunking Myths About Egg Freezing I want to clarify all these myths that this is not at all true. If you freeze 10 or 12 eggs, then you will not be able to become a mother in the future. you will not be able to become a mother naturally and your eggs will be finished.
How Many Eggs Do You Need for Pregnancy? 10 to 15 is considered an ideal number that you have an expectation of success in that. If you get it done at the age of 30, then once you get it done, you will get 10 to 12 to 14 eggs. But if you do it after 40 or after that, then you may have to repeat the whole process 2 to 3 times and whether you get 15 eggs or not is doubtful.
The Biological Clock and Egg Freezing As time goes by, the biological clock, according to that, they may have problems in getting pregnant later. And you know, our inner desire is, the desire of every cell of our body is that we want our own egg, we want our own child.
Family Support in Egg Freezing Decisions Sometimes you get support from the family. Sometimes you don't get support. You have to bear the financial patient yourself. But it is not guaranteed that you will get pregnant from those eggs. And if you get pregnant at an older age, diabetes, high blood pressure, abruption, bleeding in pregnancy, you may have more complications.
Understanding the Costs of Egg Freezing So, if we give them the full amount, then in one cycle, it can be somewhere between 1.5 to 1.7 lakhs. And in this, freezing will initially be included, but when the eggs are frozen for a longer duration, then the freezing charges will depend on how many eggs we have, how many leaves we have So that can vary from center to center between 30,000 to 50,000 and annual charge that is to be incurred.

Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour, Director of SCI Healthcare, discusses IVF. India's young population has driven up demand, with over 1 in 10 couples facing conception issues. “While surrogacy for international patients is banned, many still come from SAARC and African countries for IVF. The industry has become more organized, with new centers and corporate IVF chains,” says Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour.
“India currently conducts an average of 200,000 to 250,000 IVF cycles per year, with projections indicating this could rise to 500,000 to 600,000 cycles annually."
She also predicts that the market will likely see the entry of new players as well as numerous mergers and acquisitions. Smaller local players may be acquired by larger companies, a trend similar to that seen in the hospital sector, which will lead to greater transparency and higher quality treatments for patients. She notes that major brands are aiming to expand their reach to tier 2 and tier 3 cities.

Covid19 and pregnancy: As per ICMR Guidelines Pregnant women do not appear more likely to contract the infection than the general population. However, pregnancy itself alters the body’s immune system and response to viral infections in general, which can occasionally be related to more severe symptoms and this will be the same for COVID-19. Reported cases of COVID-19 pneumonia in pregnancy are milder and with good recovery.Pregnant women with heart disease are at highest risk (congenital or acquired). In other types of coronavirus infection (SARS, MERS), the risks to the mother appear to increase in particular during the last trimester of pregnancy. There are case reports of preterm birth in women with COVID-19 but it is unclear whether the preterm birth was always iatrogenic, or whether some were spontaneous.The coronavirus epidemic increases the risk of perinatal anxiety and depression, as well as domestic violence. It is critically important that support for women and families is strengthened as far as possible; that women are asked about mental health at every contact. A small study of nine pregnant women in Wuhan, China, with confirmed COVID-19 found no evidence of the virus in their breast milk, cord blood or amniotic fluid. According to WHO, pregnant women do not appear to be at higher risk of severe disease.
Furthermore, WHO reports that currently there is no known difference between the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 in pregnant and non-pregnant women of reproductive age ACOG is advising caution based on the impact of other respiratory illnesses (including influenza/ SARS outbreak of 2002–2003), stating that “pregnant women should be considered an at-risk population for COVID-19.
Infertility is no more a challenge to the unfortunate
parents. With the aid of the IVF or In vitro fertilization treatment, you can
conceive a baby without any nuisance. In this treatment, the eggs are gathered
and fertilized by mature sperms at the laboratory. After that, the fertilized
eggs are injected in the uterus. However, In vitro treatment can be expensive.
Thus, before choosing the center, survey well and choose the advanced and most affordable IVF treatment
hospital amongst all.
Why do you need IVF treatment?
Generally, parents who cannot conceive a baby naturally
requires the treatment. Under certain health issues, you or your partner might
get some issues regarding the conception, those includes
Damage of the
fallopian tube
The fallopian tube is one of the major parts that assist in
the conception directly. This female organ helps you to bear the eggs to the
uterus. A damaged or blockage in the tube creates several barriers for the
embryo to reach the uterus. Moreover, it halts the process of egg fertilization
as well. Hence, if your doctor diagnoses you with a faulty fallopian tube, only
the IVF treatment can enable you to relish the motherhood. To receive the
treatment, make sure to consult with the most recommended IVF specialist in Delhi.
Endometriosis
Another mishap that leads you to the infertility is the
situation called endometriosis. The situation arises when a tissue named
uterine develops at the outer part of the uterus instead of implanting inside
it. This critical situation creates some obstacles for both the ovary and
fallopian tube which results in infertility. In such situations, you need to
seek the help of the treatment for getting pregnant. However, advanced and most affordable IVF
treatment hospital ensures that you get the utmost care and guidance
while receiving the treatment.
Ovulation disorders
The infertility in women does not occur for a single reason.
Apart from the above mentioned, there is another issue chiefly known as
ovulation disorder. Women with ovulation disorder get fewer eggs to fertilize.
Thus, this complication again stands as a barrier to your pregnancy. However,
this complication has a solution in the present day. Many females with the
disorder are conceiving successfully with the help of the in vitro
fertilization treatment. The IVF specialist in Delhi
diagnoses the patients, utilizing the advanced technology and after that
proceeds with the treatment using effective methods.
Weak production of sperms
Along with the mothers, sometimes the fathers can be equally
responsible for not having a child. It is because of the poor sperm production
or the weak mobility of the sperm. If the sperm is not of the exact size and
concentration, fertilizing the eggs can be hard for them.
Regardless
to mention, there are other reasons for infertility too. In such situations, do
not forget to consult with the IVS specialist Dr
Shivani Sachdev Gour. She is considered one of the best doctors and the
success rate of her treatment is considerably high. Hence, if you are facing
any trouble concerning pregnancy and want to know the detailed information
about the In vitro fertilization, do not hesitate to contact her.
The Cabinet informed that the
government had accepted all recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha Select
Committee, which studied an earlier version of the draft legislation that aims
at banning commercial surrogacy and allowing only altruistic surrogacy in
India.
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved recommendations made by the Select
Committee on Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2020, to allow any “willing woman” to
act as a surrogate instead of “near relative” as proposed earlier.
As per the revised bill, widows and divorcees will also be allowed to opt
for surrogacy.
The proposed insurance cover for surrogate mothers has now been increased to
36 months from 16 months provided in the earlier draft.
“While it is a good step to omit
near relative clause for a surrogate, it doesn’t help to not include monetary
compensation for the surrogate because not many women would be interested in
carrying someone’s child without being paid for it...,” Delhi-based IVF
specialist, Dr Shivani
Sachdev Gour, said.
We are pleased to invite you to our next FOGS CME in
collaboration with Sun Pharma – INCA Division on 4th March (Wednesday) 2020.
