Hysteroscopy is the process of viewing the inside of uterus along with cervical canal. It is done by hysteroscope, which is a narrow telescope with camera and light at end. It is passed through vagina and cervix which helps in detecting the problems in uterus. The fertility expert view the images sent to monitor to diagnose the problems.
A hysteroscopy is used to diagnosis of symptoms such as heavy periods, repeated miscarriages, unusual vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain etc. It is also used in treatment of problems such as removing fibroids, polyps, displaced intrauterine devices (IUDs) and intrauterine adhesions. It is also used for surgical sterilization and also guides the fertility expert to localize on area of endometrial biopsy.
We are happy to announce the availability of the PGD/PGD mentioned tests at Lush Fertility.
We discuss all considerations on an individual basis with the patient giving utmost attention to all factors involved in any fertility issue.
Before making any decision about genetic testing, we review each couples history and offer the most viable option to them.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and Pre-Implantation genetic screening (PGS) are tests done on embryos for a particular genetic disease that it may be at risk of inheriting from the parents.
is a surgical procedure where in the sperm is aspirated or extracted from the testicular tissue through a surgical procedure under anaesthesia and the retrieved sperm is used with ICSI procedure to grow embryos in order to achieve pregnancy.
INDICATIONS FOR SURGICAL SPERM RETRIEVAL
Retrieval of epididymal or testicular sperm for ICSI is indicated in the following cases:
Diagnosis
Your doctor will conduct a physical exam, which might reveal a nontender mass above your testicle that feels like a bag of worms. If it’s large enough, your doctor will be able to feel it.
If you have a smaller varicocele, your doctor might ask you to stand, take a deep breath and hold it while you bear down (Valsalva maneuver). This helps your doctor detect abnormal enlargement of the veins.
A hydrocele Treatment is a collection of serous fluid between the two layers of the tunica vaginalis which normally surrounds the testis. Hydroceles are normally painless. Large hydroceles may cause discomfort because of their size. Walking or sexual activity may become uncomfortable if you have a very large hydrocele.A hydrocele feels like a small fluid filled balloon inside the scrotum. It feels smooth, and is mainly in front of one of the testes.
How is hydrocele diagnosed?
- Diagnosis is usually made clinically by the transillumination test
- Ultrasound and X-ray may occasionally be used
A testicular biopsy is a surgical procedure where a tissue sample from your testicle is taken for laboratory analysis.
The two testicles are the male reproductive organs. They produce sperm and the male sex hormone testosterone. Your testicles are located in your scrotum, which is the fleshy pouch of tissue that hangs under your penis.
A testicular biopsy can be used to:
- diagnose the location and condition of a lump in the testes
- diagnose causes of male infertility
- obtain sperm for in vitro fertilization (IVF)
What is Fertility preservation ?
Fertility preservation is the technique of conserving or storing one’s eggs, sperm, embryos or reproductive tissues so that the person can use them in the future so as to have an offspring.
The idea of preserving a patient’s current fertility status for future use is rapidly gaining attention. Fertility preservation was initially developed to safeguard the reproductive function primarily of young patients diagnosed with cancer and other diseases undergoing radiation, chemotherapy and other life-saving treatments that can cause irreversible damage to their reproductive function.
ICSI with donor sperm involves the fertilization of the extracted eggs (from the
Patient ) with spermatozoa from a donor.
This technique is used in cases when the male partner does not have spermatozoa (azoospermia) or if they are of poor quality; n cases where there is a risk of transmission of genetic diseases to offspring. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) with donor sperm involves the injection of a single spermatozoon into each oocyte and cultured in the IVF lab so as to produce an embryo .Once obtained, the embryos are transferred to the woman’s uterus and when implantation of the transferred embryo takes place, leads to a pregnancy.
