The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in the female reproductive system. One, it is the place where the egg released from the ovary and sperm meet for fertilization. Second, it helps the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus. But sometimes, this can't happen. There are several possible reasons for it - the most common being a blocked Fallopian tube.

Common causes of blocked fallopian tubes include: - Pelvic inflammatory disease - Endometriosis - Past ectopic pregnancy - Past abdominal surgery - Fibroids - Sexually transmitted infections.

Fallopian Tube Catheterization Procedure: Fallopian Tube Catheterization is performed to open the blocked fallopian tubes by a minimally invasive surgery called hysterolaparoscopy. It includes both hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. A guidewire is passed through the uterus to the tubes via a hysteroscope( a thin telescope-like device inserted into the uterus through the vagina ), and the blockage of the tubes can be cleared. Blockage opening can be confirmed immediately through laparoscopy ( a thin telescope-like device inserted through a small incision in a patient's belly button ). A contrast dye is passed through the cervix into the uterus and through the fallopian tube - spillage is visualized through a laparoscopy camera.

Thus hystero- laparoscopy is not only used for confirmation of tubal blockage but can sometimes also help in clearing the tubal blocks!

Some women with low ovarian reserve, ovarian failure, thin endometrium, or women approaching menopause prefer to use their own eggs for pregnancy rather than opting for egg donation. PRP treatment has promising results in such cases by increasing the number of eggs and improving the endometrium thickness leading to a successful pregnancy. In this procedure, the patient's blood is taken, and platelets are separated. These platelet-rich plasma are injected directly into the patient's ovaries or uterine endometrium, depending on the treatment objective under anesthesia.

Did you know that women are born with about 1-2 million eggs? By the time they reach puberty, they have about 3-5 lakh eggs that can respond to hormones, grow, and ovulate. As the years go by, women's egg quality decreases; after 30 years, this decline becomes more rapid than before! In recent decades, the average women in India having children in their 30s due to their education and career or personal reasons. However, we all know fertility decline with age. As the quantity of eggs decreases, there is also a qualitative decline in egg quality which affects embryo quality leading to early pregnancy abortions and increased risk of aneuploidy (chromosomal abnormalities like down's syndrome or spina bifida). The term "ovarian reserve" refers to the number and quality of your eggs (oocytes). The more quality eggs you have in your ovulation cycle, the higher your chance of getting pregnant. Low ovarian reserve means that you have fewer eggs than expected for your age, and therefore, those remaining eggs have a poor response to ovarian stimulation. It is one of the most important factors in female infertility. It is often noted in women in their mid to late thirties, but it may also affect younger women. It is essential to remember that many women with even low ovarian reserve can conceive with their eggs. Some may require individualized treatment based on their ovarian reserve status. If you would like to learn more about the low ovarian reserve or understand if your egg supply could affect your fertility, you can make an appointment with one of our fertility specialists by calling +91 8880747474 or booking online. 📷: www.hegdefertility.com 📷: 8880 747474

Blastocyst Culture is a stage where the embryos are developed in the laboratory for 5-6 days after fertilization and later transferred into the uterus. These embryos are called Blastocysts. At this stage of Blastocyst, cell division raises more than 100 cells, which are more advanced than day 3 embryos. Not all embryos will survive for 5-6 days in the laboratory, the embryos which are survived to this stage are more likely to implant. With recent advancements in culture media, the implantation rate in blastocysts is 60% compared to day 3 embryo transfer which is 40%.
