The Way to Conceive a Baby Safely Through IVF Treatment Chandigarh

Infertility related problems among young men and women all over the world reveal a phenomenon. With spread of fertility clinics stigma attached to the problem are slowly going away and the awareness about availability of IVF treatment in Chandigarh is also spreading.

Infertility has become a serious issue ensuring a lot of attention throughout the world. Some experts say the problem may have assumed proportions of 'an epidemic' with sterility almost tripled in recent years even among couples trying to have babies early.

For some couples fertility and getting pregnant are as easy as eating cake. For others, the world of reproductive technology becomes the only hope for conception.

In between, however, are a growing number of couples playing the fertility "waiting game?" Some may not yet be ready to turn to technology while others may have failed to discover their problem even in a high-tech arena.

Lifestyle modification to tackle obesity, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption, have been proposed as crucial in influencing the outcome of both natural and assisted conceptions. A recent statement released by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) further substantiates this association.

Some of the key Lifestyle Modifications to improve infertility and Increase your chances of getting pregnant are as follows:

Alcohol consumption: There is limited data substantiating an association between female alcohol use prior to the IVF cycle and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and male consumption and higher rate of miscarriages and reduced live births. Also, these associations were reported to be dose-dependent and considerably higher when the time of intake was close to the treatment cycles.

The study linked prenatal alcohol consumption with enhanced risk for the following adverse effects:

• Reduced chances of conception, low pregnancy rates, and increased miscarriages

• Physical anomalies to behavioral and cognitive deficits in offspring, which can be included under the broad term, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)

• Fetal death, fetal growth restriction, and preterm birth

Obesity: The reduced ovulation frequency and chances of conception observed in obese women could be attributed to the negative influence of obesity on hormonal and metabolic mechanisms. Such patients undergoing IVF possessed reduced chances of pregnancy (around 30%) as they required increased doses of gonadotropins for ovarian stimulation compared to women with recommended body mass index (BMI). The literature study reported enhanced risks for the following during both natural and assisted conceptions in obese patients:

In pregnant women:

• Increased miscarriage rate of around 30%

• Pre-eclampsia

• Gestational diabetes, with the risk ranging from 2-fold in overweight patients to 8-fold in those suffering from morbid obesity (BMI =40)

In offspring:

• Birth complications and perinatal death

• Congenital abnormalities, including 80% increase in neural tube defects and 30% rise in cardiovascular anomalies

Considering the negative impact of these lifestyle factors, fertility specialist has put forth five key recommendations for the physicians practicing in the ART field.
