Patient Care
Treatment is individualized and tailored to a couple's clinical needs. The couples are encouraged to have an active involvement during our care. We aim to provide a high standard of patient care throughout our patient's time with us. Treatment Overview
Approximately 15% of women have difficulty in conceiving. As there are many reasons for infertility, it is important that a unit offers a comprehensive service. We believe the complex procedures such as IVF and ICSI shouldn't be contemplated unless the simple treatments are proved to be inappropriate. All treatments involving the use of ovarian stimulation drugs are closely monitored by blood test and ultrasound.

Treatment of Ovulation Disorders
Assistance may be given to couples trying to plan their family by monitoring menstrual cycles and timing natural intercourse. If ovulation is not regular then drugs may be used in the early part of the cycle to help ovulation be more reliable.
To optimize the chances of conception, an ovarian stimulation protocol is followed. The drugs used mimic and regulate natural processes and aid growth of follicles (fluid-filled sacs which contain the egg) and bring about ovulation. Your individual protocol and drugs will be discussed with you at consultation.
Intra-Uterine Insemination
Intra-Uterine insemination procedure we carry out usually involves the use of drugs for follicular stimulation and ovulation induction. When ovulation has occurred, a sperm sample is carefully washed as for IVF treatment and a portion of it is placed high into uterus. Intra-uterine insemination is only used if one or both of the fallopian tubes are known to be open.

In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
In broad terms the IVF procedure consists of recovering eggs from ovary, fertilising them with sperm and transferring the resulting embryos into the uterus. In this procedure the sperm and eggs are simply cultured together overnight.

|
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Many patients undergoing IVF fail to achieve fertilisation. Often these cases are due to male infertility where the sperm is unable to penetrate the outer shell of the egg. The micromanipulation techniques we use help men with severe sperm impairments. By directly injecting sperm into the cytoplasm of the egg, the natural barriers that the sperm encounters are bypassed. |
 |
ICSI is indicated for the following reasons:
- Suboptimal semen parameters (low sperm count, poor motility, low normal sperm morphology, etc.).
- Previous failed fertilisation in IVF.
- Following surgical sperm retrieval.

Sperm and Embryo Donation
Gamete donation raises many complex issues and couples contemplating such treatments psychological implications will be explored fully. Sperm donors are matched as closely as possible for physical characteristics and blood group to the male partner of women receiving the donor sperm. Donor sperm can be used for donor insemination and for IVF.
Eggs are recovered from the donor and the sperm from the recipient's partner is used to inseminate the eggs in the laboratory either by IVF or ICSI. The resulting embryos are transferred two or three days later to the recipient's uterus.
Egg donation is indicated for the following reasons:
- Premature menopause.
- Genetic abnormality.
- Poor ovarian response to hormonal stimulation.
- Absence of ovaries.
- Ovarian failure due to chemotherapy/radiotherapy.

Sperm Cryopreservation
Most semen samples can be frozen for long periods without loss of fertility. Sperm cryopreservation is indicated for the following reasons:
- Prior to radio/chemotherapy
- Patient's with spinal injury, following electro-ejaculation or surgical sperm retrieval
- Surplus sperm obtained following routine surgical sperm retrieval.
- Prior to Vasectomy.
- Patients with very low sperm numbers may freeze repeated samples.

Embryo Cryopreservation
Following initial treatment a maximum of three embryos are transferred. Depending on the quality of the spare embryos, they may be frozen for transfer at a later date. This center has facilities for freezing using latest technology from Crygologic of Australia. We are the sole center that offers Cryopreservation in the capital.

Laboratory
KJK Hospital Laboratory offers a wide range of andrological tests from routine semen analysis to complex sperm function tests. It also provides all sort of hormonal assays, for both males and females.

Ultrasonography and Interventional Sonography
We are equipped with the latest scan machine, both trans abdominal and trans vaginal probes. Colour Doppler is also available. With the help of ultrasound, operative procedures are carried out such as foetal reduction, aspiration of cysts etc.

Laparoscopic and Hysteroscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery which is minimally invasive, is the appropriate method of treatment especially infertility. This center is equipped with most modern gadgets required for keyhole surgery. The patient can be discharged within 24 hours and can try for conception immediately.
The other advantage is the time taken to resume the normal activities is less than 2 weeks when compared to 4.6 weeks rest advised in Laparotomy. The Laparoscopic surgery would cost the same as open surgery.
Hysteroscopic procedures for viewing inside the uterus and surgery like excision of septae, cannulation of tubes, removal of submucous fibroids and resection of the endometrium in patients who want to retain the uterus in severe bleeding (DUB).
