Nose Aesthetics (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic operation performed to correct or reconstruct the appearance of the nose. Apart from visual purposes, rhinoplasty is also performed to eliminate structural defects that cause breathing problems. It is also a frequently performed surgery in the treatment of nasal fractures.

The size of the nose, shape and angle of the nose can be changed with Rhinoplasty (nose aesthetics), which is the most preferred operation among aesthetic surgeries and is performed to create a beautiful nose that is compatible with the face and liked by the person himself and his surroundings.

In which cases is rhinoplasty necessary?

• If the patient has aesthetic concerns

• If there are breathing problems due to various functional disorders

• In sinus problems

• In nasal fractures

• In case of cleft lip (with other operations)

• In severe facial burns

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?

With the first examination to be performed by the surgeon, the patient's complaints, the desired visual changes and whether they are suitable for the nose or face structure are evaluated by sharing ideas between the doctor and the patient. With a detailed examination, it can be determined whether there is any problem in the nose that may prevent the rhinoplasty operation. In the absence of a structural problem, general health checks should also be carried out, and the presence of conditions that may interfere with the surgical operation, such as bleeding diseases, should be investigated. It is very important for the doctor and the patient to establish a good communication with the patient in terms of the shape changes to be made in the patients who are determined to be suitable for the operation, and to explain the patient's expectations to the doctor in a good way. The planning phase is completed by taking photographs of the nose from various angles.

When the day of the operation comes, general anesthesia is usually applied depending on the type of surgery. The duration of the operation also varies according to the procedures to be performed. On average, a rhinoplasty operation is expected to take approximately 1.5-2 hours. After the operation, which is performed by choosing the most suitable method for the patient, open or closed methods, the patients are discharged after being kept under observation for a certain period of time.

How long does the recovery process take in rhinoplasty?

After the rhinoplasty operation, it is of great importance to preserve the shape of the nose and the operation area in order to be successful in the treatment applications performed on the nose. Therefore, any trauma that will adversely affect the shape of the nose should be avoided. Apart from trauma, it is extremely important not to use heavy glasses, not to lie on your side or to apply pressure to the nose area for a period of time. After the surgery, resting adequately, especially for the first two or three days, and avoiding strenuous activities for a week will accelerate the healing process. In addition, medications prescribed by the physician should be used regularly. The control examinations given should not be interrupted, and if there is a dressing suggestion, they should be done regularly.

Today, rhinoplasty surgery gives extremely successful results thanks to the advanced techniques applied. Success in rhinoplasty means a nose that is both visually pleasing to the patient and performing its functions in a healthy way.

Who is suitable for Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid aesthetics are mostly performed by individuals over the age of 35. It is possible for anyone with a medical need to have it done at any age. One of the first structures to show aging on the human face is the upper eyelid. Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) surgery cannot stop the ongoing aging of the eyelids; but the tired appearance on the face can be stopped for about 10 years.

How is upper eyelid aesthetics performed?

Upper eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) or droopy eyelid surgery is the process of removing excess skin and fat tissue from the area due to the loss of tension in the skin. The surgical scar does not attract much attention as it will remain on the upper eyelid and will be open during the day. However, in order to avoid the scar, an incision is made from the eyelid fold line and aesthetic stitches are applied. Of course, this deformation of the skin does not occur only on the eyelid, so it gives better cosmetic results when applied together with forehead lift and eyebrow lifting operations.

In addition, interventions such as almond eye aesthetics along with upper eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) are frequently preferred by patients.

How is lower eyelid aesthetics performed?

The fat pads located on the cheekbones atrophy (weak) with the effect of gravity along with the aging process. This causes signs of aging in the form of slumping or edema under the lower eyelid and prominent smile lines around the mouth. The lower eyelid should be evaluated by your physician and checked for bagging and sagging. The form of treatment should be evaluated. If surgery is required, the specialist physician should initiate the planning and process. In lower eyelid aesthetics, the surgical incision is made just below the eyelashes. The skin is lifted and the fat packets are removed. If the under-eye sunkenness continues after the surgery, an under-eye fat injection may be required after recovery.

How long does it take for Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) surgery and post-operative recovery?

After Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery, patients do not have serious pain. Movement is allowed, provided that it is nourished and not heavy. The patient, who is discharged on the same day, is evaluated again the next day and 5 days later. Stitches are often dissolving stitches. However, when necessary, the stitches are removed painlessly without waiting for them to dissolve. After the 5th day, it is allowed to shower and return to normal life. In order to reduce scars in Eyelid Aesthetics, scar reducing creams are sometimes recommended to patients.

TESE - TESA Practices

View Details

Micro TESE is a painless procedure performed under anesthesia. The aim here is to enlarge the tissue under the microscope and remove the tissues with a high probability of containing sperm. Therefore, while the probability of finding sperm increases in theory, the damage to the testis decreases as less tissue is taken. Tissue samples taken are subjected to a series of processes and living sperm cells are separated. While these cells are used in the microinjection process, sperm are stored in other observed tissues for use in different experiments. Points to consider before micro-TESE You should not eat or drink anything (including water) for at least 6 hours before the operation. · Clean the operation area with a razor blade. Take a bath.

Bring loose

trousers or sweatpants with you as pressure on the testicles will cause pain after the operation. You will be discharged 1-2 hours after the operation. Points to consider after micro TESE Liquid food intake can be started within 3 hours after the

operation. You can take a bath on the 5th day after the operation. · Do not have sexual intercourse for 1 week. If you have pain, you can use painkillers. If you experience redness, swelling or bleeding at the operation site, inform your doctor.

Since

self-dissolving sutures are used during Micro TESE, there is no suture removal process. The stitches will dissolve by themselves in 7-10 days. Risks As a result of micro TESE, viable sperm cells may not be obtained. This risk depends on the underlying cause. The chance of finding sperm in a patient with obstruction in the sperm ducts; higher than the patient with hormonal or genetic problems. Postoperatively, infection and bleeding may occur at the operation site.

Calcium Ionophore Application

View Details

It is a method of activating eggs and ensuring fertilization by using calcium ionophore (calcium ionophore) in cases where embryo transfer cannot be performed due to lack of fertilization during IVF treatment.

In the calcium ionophore application, first the egg and sperm are fertilized by micro-injection (ICSI); Then the eggs are kept in a medium containing calcium ionophore for a while. The main purpose here is to artificially increase the calcium level, which should increase in the egg after the sperm enters the egg. In other words, by supporting the reactions that should start in the egg, the egg is forced to be fertilized. With this procedure, a healthy fertilization and therefore a high pregnancy rate can be achieved.

Calcium ionophore therapy has been shown to be successful in the following situations:

In patients with “globosperm” of all sperms
If very few eggs or sperm are obtained
Recurrent fertilization (fertilization) failures
In cases where no fertilization can be achieved with micro-injection therapy

Liposuction (Fat Removal)

View Details

Liposuction; It is the process of removing fat from the body such as abdomen, hips and neck using the vacuuming technique. Depending on genetic factors and lifestyle, fat may accumulate in different parts of a persons body, even if they are not overweight. Those who have disproportion in the upper and lower areas, fat accumulation in the abdominal area, and a double chin that does not disappear despite losing weight can achieve the look they want with the liposuction method.

Liposuction can also be performed with ultrasound or laser energy. The advantage of these methods, known as Vaser and laser liposuction, is that they break down the fat better, shorten the operation time and reduce the edema that occurs after the operation, helping to achieve an appearance that meets the persons expectations.Abdomen, hips, upper legs, knees, upper arms, under the chin, cheeks and neck are the areas where liposuction method can be applied. This process is a regional shaping method on the body and should not be perceived as a general slimming method. The people most suitable for liposuction are those who can lose weight by applying slimming methods but still have protrusions in some areas.

The duration of surgery depends primarily on the size of the area or areas to be liposuctioned. The operation takes approximately 1 – 1.5 hours. You may need to stay in the hospital on the same day after liposuction performed under local anesthesia, and for 1 day during your surgery under general anesthesia.

Breast Reduction

View Details

Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure performed by removing a portion of breast tissue.

Breast reduction surgeries are preferred for people with very large breasts to get rid of back, shoulder and neck pain and to have a more aesthetic appearance.

Depending on the size of the breasts and the surgical techniques applied, breast reduction surgery takes around 2-3 hours.

Breast reduction surgery eliminates the appearance of smaller, naturally tipped and sagging breasts, making women feel more self-confident.

How many times can IVF treatment be tried?

View Details

IVF treatment, which is preferred by couples who cannot conceive naturally and cannot have children, is a source of hope for couples who cannot have children due to the development of medicine and technology. IVF treatment is the fertilization of male and female reproductive cells outside the body under laboratory conditions. Currently, couples have a 95 percent chance of success with IVF treatments. IVF treatment is one of the most successful methods in the treatment of infertility, the cause of which is not clear, or which cannot be conceived in the most natural ways. If couples do not succeed in their first attempts at IVF treatments, they should not despair and stress immediately. Because there are no restrictions on IVF treatment.

How many times can IVF treatment be tried?

A study conducted on couples undergoing IVF treatment shows that the rate of achieving pregnancy in couples after the first three trials is 95 percent. In addition, no number can be given about the number of treatments in the remaining group. The experts are also 4. or 5. there is an opinion that the chances of IVF success in trials are slightly lower than in the first three trials. The success rate of IVF treatment does not depend on many attempts. Multiple factors, such as the age of the couples, obtaining a quality embryo, affect the success rate of IVF treatment at a critical point.

Is Success Achieved in the First Attempt in IVF?

The chances of pregnancy during the one-month treatment period with the insemination method or ovulation treatments are about 20% or slightly more than the chances of a healthy couple becoming pregnant in a month. These treatments can be tried 3 or 4 times until pregnancy is achieved, but most of the pregnancies are obtained in the first months of treatment. Continuing treatment for more than 4 years will not increase the chances of pregnancy, so you can switch to IVF treatment.

Currently, thanks to newly developed methods and applications, the success rate of in vitro fertilization treatment is gradually increasing, if success is not achieved at the first attempt, repeated attempts can be made. The chance of becoming pregnant in a month with IVF treatments varies depending on age, but on average it is up to 50-60%. Pregnancy rates can increase by more than 90% after 4 applications when more than one treatment is performed in a row. For this reason, the chances of becoming pregnant increase with the number of attempts in couples who do not have a specific problem.

Stomach Botox

View Details

The application of Botulinum toxin (botox) to the stomach is a relatively new weight loss method based on the endoscopic injection of Botulinum toxin into certain parts of the stomach. Gastric botox, which provides "weight loss" without the need for surgical intervention, is the most preferred among the non-surgical slimming options.

Who is Stomach Botox suitable for?

Stomach botox can actually be applied to anyone who wants to lose weight. This procedure is not an obesity surgery. Our patients who meet the following criteria can choose it.

Our patients, who cannot lose weight properly with diet and sports,

Our patients with a body mass index below 40,

For our patients with stomach ulcers or gastritis, they can have stomach botox after the treatment process is completed.

Who can't be applied stomach botox?

Like every application, there are people who should not be treated with stomach botox. Stomach botox should not be applied to cancer patients, especially pregnant women, those who are undergoing cancer treatment, those who have had recent surgery and those who have gastrointestinal system diseases. Also; It is not recommended to apply stomach botox alone to people whose body mass index is above 35 kg/m2. Because it will not be appropriate to reduce the targeted weight only with stomach botox, combined treatments or bariatric surgery will be more suitable for these patients.

WHAT IS SECONDARY INFERTILITY?

In some cases, it is not enough if only the reproductive system is healthy for pregnancy to occur. Along with the reproductive system, it is extremely important for the pregnancy process that many factors work in harmony with each other. Depending on the factors that affect the process, pregnancy may not occur in people. This condition can also be observed if the person has already become pregnant or had a healthy birth.

Infertility, which occurs as a result of a couple having regular sexual intercourse for 12 months and not being able to get pregnant even though they are not using a method of protection, can be seen in two different ways. Never before pregnancy occurs when primary infertility; a live birth or not, regardless of if at least one pregnancy occurred, secondary (secondary) infertility is defined as.

You can continue reading our article about what is secondary infertility, what are its causes, important risk factors and treatment topics.

Causes of Secondary Infertility

Secondary infertility can occur due to both of the couples. The causes of secondary male infertility; the presence of varicose veins in sperm vessels, known as varicocele, infections, traumas and testicular tumors can be listed in the form of. The causes of secondary infertility in women are causes such as differences in ovulation patterns, damage or blockage of the tubes, deterioration of the structure of the uterus, and cervical and cervical cancer, especially as age progresses.

Autoimmune diseases and sexually transmitted diseases are also among the causes dec lead to secondary infertility.

In order to determine which of the many factors considered to cause the development of secondary infertility in people and to make appropriate planning, the couple should consult a specialist physician.

Risk Factors for Secondary Infertility

One of the most curious points about secondary infertility is the risk factors of secondary infertility. Many risk factors can cause the development of secondary infertility in people. These factors;

• Progression of age

• Different disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome

* Excess weight

• Previous miscarriages

* Stress

* Alcohol, smoking and substance use

It can be sorted as follows. Along with all this, various factors that may differ from person to person can also lead to the development of secondary infertility in people.

Treatment of Secondary Infertility

The causes of secondary infertility, which are an obstacle to a person's conception, can be studied in an extremely wide range. For this reason, first of all, the points that prevent a person from becoming pregnant should be determined by taking into account different factors and an appropriate treatment plan should be developed accordingly. As a result of the evaluations made by taking the patient's history, vaccination and IVF treatments may be recommended to support conception. In order to determine the condition, specific infertility tests can be administered to people after a physical and pelvic examination. The ovulation test and other hormone tests are some of them.

THE PROCESS AFTER FAILED IVF AND FACTORS AFFECTING SUCCESS

View Details

IVF treatment; It is the method that offers the highest chance of pregnancy for couples who want to have a baby but cannot conceive naturally. In vitro fertilization method can be applied as a result of unprotected intercourse for more than 1 year, when pregnancy does not occur. Although it is a successful method, it may not always be possible to achieve 100% success in IVF treatments. There are many factors that determine the probability of successful IVF treatment.

What Factors Depends on Success in IVF Treatment?

In IVF treatment, it is aimed to catch pregnancy in the first time, but pregnancy is not possible for every woman at once. Factors affecting the success of IVF treatment include the age of the expectant mother, weight status, problems in the uterus, hydrosalpinx in the tubes, immune system problems, smoking degree, alcohol use rate, and decreased ovarian reserve. With this; Various male-related conditions such as sperm immobility, severe deformities, and absence of sperm in the semen also affect the success rate of IVF treatment. General statistical data can give you information about the success rate in IVF treatment, but it should not be forgotten that every couple is very special and unique. In IVF treatment, your doctor can better determine your individual chances, taking into account your personalized factors.

What are the Risks of IVF Treatment?

As with any treatment, there are some risks in IVF treatment. However, some of these risks, which are likely to be encountered in IVF treatment, are predictable and can be intervened early, although these risks are very rare. We can list these risks as follows: Mild bruising, swelling and pain may occur in the areas where the drugs were injected. Overstimulation of the eggs can result in weight gain, nausea, vomiting and bloating. There may be a risk of ectopic pregnancy. Bleeding may occur during egg collection.

What Should Be Done After Unsuccessful IVF?

Failure of one or more IVF attempts can be extremely challenging, disappointing couples. This situation is extremely natural. One of the most important reasons for a failed IVF treatment is poor embryo quality. Defective and damaged embryos cannot be attached to the uterus after they are transferred to the uterus. However, in some cases, pregnancy may not be achieved despite transferring good quality embryos. Your doctor will evaluate the reasons for the failure of your IVF process in detail to determine what the problem is. These points will be taken into account in future attempts after the problem is determined. Taking a break for at least a month after a failed IVF attempt will also be very beneficial for the process. As developments in the field of medicine increase, it becomes easier to detect and eliminate negative situations. It is important that couples who fail their first IVF attempt should not despair. When conditions are improved, the chances of pregnancy will be higher in subsequent attempts.

WHAT IS INTRALPID SERUM TREATMENT? WHO IS APPLIED?

Intralipid serum therapy emerges as a form of treatment applied to women who want to become pregnant but cannot achieve this goal as a result of recurrent IVF failures. It is extremely important that the immune system is strong during IVF treatment. Intralipid serum therapy is a method used at this point to strengthen the immune system.

Intralipid serum treatment is started to be applied to women who want to become pregnant before starting IVF treatment. What are the details of intralipid treatment? Who is intralipid serum therapy applied to? How is intralipid serum therapy applied? Now we will be giving answers to all these questions for you below.

What is Intralipid Therapy?

Intralipid serum therapy is a treatment for women who want to become mothers. Intralipid serum is a treatment method that starts on the day of transfer and continues throughout the process in IVF treatment. Intralipid serum contains many important proteins and molecules for the immune system. Thanks to this serum, it is aimed to keep the immune system of the expectant mother strong during pregnancy by supporting the immune system.

To Whom Is Intralipid Serum Treatment Applied?

Intralipid serum therapy is a treatment for women who want to become mothers, but only for those who have experienced miscarriage problems or who have experienced IVF failures. The purpose of this treatment is to ensure that the immunity of the expectant mother remains strong throughout the pregnancy process.

As a result of the information obtained, it has been proven that intralipid serum therapy does not have any side effects. However, some women may be allergic to the substances in the intralipid serum. At this point, good research should be done before starting the treatment and if there is no allergic condition, treatment should be applied.

How is Intralipid Serum Treatment Applied?

Parents who want to have a child can resort to many ways for pregnancy to occur. In vitro fertilization, which has been very popular recently, has been determined as the most successful assisted reproductive method. If there are recurrent failures as a result of IVF treatment, this problem can be eliminated with intralipid serum treatment. Intralipid serum therapy is an extremely effective and successful form of treatment.

Intralipid serum treatment is administered to the expectant mother by intravenous route, with a preparation containing emulsified oil, prepared with a special concentration, which takes approximately 45 minutes. In other words, the patient's immune system is supported by giving oily serums intravenously.

What is IVF? How is IVF Treatment Performed?

View Details

IVF treatment, which is one of the methods of treatment that helps reproduction, begins with the collection of eggs from the expectant mother and the removal of sperm cells from the expectant father. The embryo, which appeared after the fertilization was carried out in the laboratory environment, is placed in the womb of the expectant mother. From this point on, pregnancy continues like a pregnancy acquired by natural means.

When should couples who cannot have children turn to IVF treatment?

A woman under the age of 35 who does not have any diseases that can prevent her from becoming pregnant should definitely be examined if she cannot conceive despite having unprotected and regular sexual intercourse for 1 year and seek treatment if deemed necessary. Women who are over the age of 35 or who have previously had any problems affecting conception should only try for 6 months.

How is IVF Performed? What are the Necessary Conditions?

In vitro fertilization can be defined as the process of placing the healthiest embryo in the womb obtained as a result of fertilization of eggs collected from the expectant mother with the sperm of the expectant father in the laboratory environment. Before starting IVF treatment, the reproductive abilities of both a man and a woman are evaluated. Then hormone therapy is started to allow the expectant mother's eggs to enter the maturation process. Then, a cracking needle is made and the eggs are released from the follicles. During the egg collection process, the ripening eggs of the expectant mother are collected with the help of transvaginal ultrasound. At this time, sperm cells are taken from the expectant father.

Fertilization is achieved by means of reproductive cells that are brought together in a laboratory environment dec The healthiest of the embryos that occur, or in other words, the best IVF, is transferred to the expectant mother's uterus accompanied by ultrasound. After about half an hour after this procedure, the couple is sent home. In some cases, more than one embryo needs to be transferred to the mother's womb.

WHAT IS THE SPERMIOGRAM TEST FOR ANALYSIS OF SPERM CELL?

View Details

Parents who want to have children generally prefer the most common in vitro fertilization treatment. Before this treatment, both mother-to-be and father-to-be go through many tests. Father-to-be passed; The first of the tests to test for infertility or other problems is the sperm test, also known as the spermiogram test. What is the spermiogram test for the analysis of the sperm cell? How is spermiogram done? What do spermiogram test results mean? We will answer all these questions for you in detail below. We recommend that you continue reading our article to have detailed information about the sperm test.

What is a test (spermiogram)?

Sperm test done to men; It is a test to determine sperm health, sperm count, and whether the sperm are moving correctly in the channels. As a result of the sperm test, if the sperm shape is normal and there is a sufficient number of sperm, it is concluded that your reproductive ability is high. However, in some cases, men may have low sperm count or the ability to reproduce despite having abnormal semen. That's why doctors order a second test for the accuracy of the results. If your results are normal in your first sperm test, you give the other test and if it is normal, these two normal tests show that you do not have an infertility problem. If there are different conditions, your doctor may order other tests.

If there is no semen or sperm as a result of the sperm test, this may indicate that your ducts are blocked. If this is the case, your doctor will plan different surgeries to open the channels.

Issues and Precautions to Consider While Giving Sperm Sample

There are important points to be considered before giving the sperm sample and while giving the sperm sample. Among the things to be considered before giving a sperm sample, we can count that "men should abstain from sexual intercourse for 3 days". Fasting for 3 to 5 days is sufficient. These numbers are important because if you fast for less than 3 days, the sperm count may be low as a result of the sperm test. For this reason, we can say that fasting between 3 and 5 days is sufficient. It is possible to list the issues to be considered while giving a sperm sample as follows;

· Storing the sample in a sterile environment: It is important to protect your sample from the outside environment for a healthy and accurate spermiogram test result. If a sterile environment is not provided, the test result may be inaccurate. Therefore, do not put your hands, especially sample containers, etc. It is important that you keep it as sterile as possible.

· Protecting the delivered sperm from heat: Another important point is to keep your sample away from extreme temperature changes after ejaculation. Because these extreme temperature changes negatively affect spermatozoa. Ideal temperatures for the sample cup should be between 20°C and 37°C.

· Sperm volume, amount: Volume is extremely important in the sperm test. Your sperm volume is expected to be at least 1.5 ml. The reason why you cannot reach the lower limit of 1.5 ml may be external discharge during ejaculation. It is important to be careful about this.

· Use of lubricating foreign substances during the sperm test: It is important not to use any lubricant during the sperm test because these substances seriously affect the sperm parameters. External factors with such an impact can lead to wrong conclusions.

How is the Sperm Test Done?

For the sperm test, you must first be at the IVF center or hospital. There are rooms specially prepared for men in hospitals or IVF centers. In these rooms, men give their sperm in a special container. For the effectiveness of the sperm test, the sperm sample is immediately delivered to the laboratory. The sperm sample given in the laboratory is subjected to many processes and the best quality sperms are selected. The purpose of the procedures is to examine the sperm count, motility and shape in the semen and to reach quality sperm as a result.

Apart from the hospital, sperm samples can be placed in a container and brought to the hospital in the home environment. However, this is highly not recommended. Even if this is accepted, the sperm samples should be brought to the hospital and delivered within half an hour.

Issues and Precautions to Consider When Analyzing Sperm Sample

After the sperm test is given by the prospective fathers, it is examined in the laboratory environment. This examination takes approximately 1-2 hours and after the first hour, active results begin to be obtained. However, sometimes different situations can be encountered. For example, the test is given, but no sperm can be seen when looked at. In these cases, sperm are taken again and centrifuged. When faced with such a situation, the time may be extended. If there is no additional test to be done, the test results are immediately available in an average of 1-1.5 hours.

What Do Sperm Test Results Mean?

Sperm test results can be evaluated in many ways. Sperm analysis evaluates the sperm by analyzing it from various aspects. We can list these analyzes as follows:

· Sperm count and density:

Sperm count describes the number of sperm in 1 ml of semen. The World Health Organization advocates that a normal sperm count should be at least 15 million per ml or at least 39 million per sample. Having fewer sperm than these numbers indicates a low sperm count.

· Sperm morphology:

Non-abnormal sperm have a long tail and oval head. Morphology refers to the size and shape of the sperm a person has. Sperm that do not have a normal size or are weak in shape have difficulty reaching the egg and fertilization.

· Sperm motility:

The ability of sperm to move efficiently is one of the most important factors for fertilization.

· PH level of sperm:

When the pH level is too high or too low, it can affect the health of sperm and its ability to pass through the female reproductive tract.

Apart from these, sperm health is examined by looking at many factors such as semen volume, liquefaction, and seminal fructose levels while performing the sperm test. After examining all factors in detail, the results are examined and reported to the patient.

What is the Sperm Test Result of a Healthy Individual?

Low sperm count can have many different causes. The first reason is smoking addiction. Smoking addiction is one of the important factors that reduce the sperm count. In addition to smoking, alcohol and drug addiction also affect sperm count. Sperm count can also be adversely affected when there is a deficiency in hormones, depending on the clogged ducts.

Hormones are one of the important factors for reproduction on their own. Since the deficiency in reproductive hormones directly affects sperm production, it increases the possibility of encountering problems in reproduction. Apart from these, mistakes made by couples who want to have children also affect the sperm count. Using natural products unconsciously and continuing to use them uncontrollably, without knowing the limit, does harm to the person instead of providing benefits. Long-term treatment and drugs used during the treatment also affect the sperm count.

IMSI in Sperm Selection

The IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morpholgically Selected Sperm Injection) method is the magnification and examination of even the smallest cells using special microscopes. In the past, in the microinjection procedures applied in IVF treatments, living sperm cells could be enlarged up to 400 times. However, with IMSI, sperm can now be enlarged between 6000 and 8000 times. It is possible to examine and detect in detail the disorders called "vacuoles" that indicate the intracellular structures of the sperm and their genetic damage.

The IMSI technique is an extremely useful method. Selected sperm injection; It allows advanced morphological analysis of sperm without damaging the living sperm cell. Sperm with the highest fertilization ability are selected and a high chance of fertilization between 20% and 40% can be obtained with the applied microinjection application.

Precautions to be Considered for Sperm Quality

Couples who want to have children should pay attention to egg and sperm health and be careful in this regard. There are many factors that affect sperm quality, such as those that affect egg quality. One of these factors is undoubtedly a healthy diet. A healthy diet is extremely important for every organ in the body, of course also in sperm health.

In addition, exercise is very important in making you more vigorous and increasing your body's stamina and activity. Regular exercise will make you recover in a short time and will positively affect both your mental and physical health. Alcohol and smoking are substances that affect reproductive cells and should be avoided. This is a proven fact as a result of research. If we gather all these under one title, we can say that one should take care of his own health. Nutrition, avoiding alcohol, smoking, exercising regularly will first affect your health and therefore your sperm quality.

This process, which is sensitive and special for couples who want to have a child, is extremely important for them. In this process, prospective parents experience excitement on the one hand and a lot of stress on the other. Hüma IVF Center, which understands the emotions experienced best and does not spare its support by being by their side throughout the process, is always ready to accompany you.

WHAT IS BETA HCG? HOW MUCH BETA HCG VALUE SHOULD BE? WHAT DOES ITS LOW AND HEIGHT MEAN?

View Details

Beta HCG hormone is a hormone known as the pregnancy hormone among the people. It is used in pregnancy tests to determine whether the person is pregnant or not. Experts express the test to measure the beta HCG hormone in different ways. You may have heard of Beta HCG blood test, quantitative blood pregnancy test, quantitative HCG test, and quantitative serial Beta HCG test. In this article, we have brought together all the curious about Beta HCG. What should be the Beta HCG value? What does low or high Beta HCG mean? Read on for the answers to all these questions.

What is Beta HCG?

There are 2 types of HCG Hormone, Beta and Alpha. During the pregnancy test, the Beta hormone is examined and is called Beta HCG. Beta HCG hormone is secreted by the placenta with the occurrence of fertilization. A blood test is performed between 10 days and 14 days after fertilization, and a high value can be observed in Beta HCG hormone as a result of the blood test. After a day or two, a urine test is done and more precise data for pregnancy can be obtained. High beta hcg hormone does not only mean a sign of pregnancy. Depending on some diseases encountered in people, its level in the body may increase, this varies from person to person. For this reason, when a high level of Beta HCG hormone is detected, different tests are performed immediately and it is ensured whether pregnancy has occurred or not.

What Should Beta HCG Value Be?

In a healthy non-pregnant woman, Beta HCG hormone varies in the range of 0-10 mlU/ml. In fact, it is usually seen at values around 0 and 0. With pregnancy, these values increase. In other words, we can understand whether pregnancy exists or not from the height of this hormone.

What Does Low and High Beta HCG Mean?

Beta HCG elevation first suggests that the person is pregnant. Because pregnancy increases the Beta HCG hormone. This hormone may give false information in some periods. Especially if the person has a different ailment, for example; In cases such as gastritis, some types of pancreatic cancer, some stomach cancers, ovarian cancer, liver tumor, multiple pregnancy, high levels of this hormone can be detected. For this reason, it is not possible to understand that you are pregnant with this test alone. Afterwards, you must have different tests. In addition to these, it is possible to say that the foods eaten also affect this hormone. Foods high in progesterone such as dill, avocado, spinach, tomatoes and walnuts increase the Beta HCG value.

Beta HCG is usually 0 and close to 0 in normal, ie non-pregnant individuals. In individuals who are pregnant, the low level of this hormone may be due to many reasons. These; ectopic pregnancy, deviation in the calculation of the week of pregnancy, sudden miscarriages.

In this article, we have discussed the Beta HCG hormone in detail. We have made explanations for you by giving place to all the questions that are curious. For more, you can visit our Hüma IVF page.

WHAT IS MINI IVF? WHO IS APPLIED? WHAT ARE THE MEDICINES USED IN MINI IVF TREATMENT?

View Details

Recently, it has been revealed that egg quality obtained from patients with low reserve is lower and genetic problems in the embryo are higher. In this direction, it is aimed to create fewer but better quality embryos by obtaining higher quality eggs with less drugs. Mini IVF appears as a simplified in vitro fertilization practice, unlike the known in vitro fertilization practices performed with daily injections and high-dose drug use. Especially in patients with a low number of eggs or in advanced age, the success rates are higher than conventional treatments. What is mini IVF, who is it applied to and what are the drugs used in its treatment? You can continue reading our article for questions and all the details.

What is mini IVF?

Mini IVF is an in vitro fertilization application that enables the development of fewer but higher quality eggs by using lower doses of drugs. Eggs developed with this method are taken and fertilization is performed by applying the microinjection technique. Embryos formed after fertilization are transferred to the patient, assuming that the probability of attachment is higher.

In addition to the advantages such as less drug use, less cost and less time spent with mini IVF treatment, high success rates can be obtained in patients with a low number of eggs and advancing age.

Who is mini IVF applied to?

In cases where pregnancy does not occur naturally;

Those who want to use hormone drugs less,

At risk of developing OHSS (overstimulation of the ovaries),

Concerned about the daily injection process in IVF treatment,

Those who have problems in the fallopian tubes and are younger than 35 years old,

Having low egg reserve that cannot be increased with treatment,

Looking for a more economical solution than conventional treatment,

People who have tried many times in vitro fertilization but have not achieved a result, and

Mini IVF treatment can be applied to women who want to reduce the possibility of multiple pregnancy.

However, a treatment plan should be made by a specialist by listening to the patient's history of the disease, analyzing their expectations and performing health checks in detail.

What are the drugs used in mini IVF treatment?

Mini IVF treatment is a type of in vitro fertilization that uses little or no medication to increase and develop the number of eggs. In standard IVF treatments, hormone injections are made for 8-10 days to reproduce eggs, while these drugs are not used in the Mini IVF method. Oral tablets and very low dose hormone injections are used instead. With Mini IVF, which is a natural in vitro fertilization method, it is ensured that the highest quality eggs are produced by using the least amount of medication.

Mini IVF method is aimed to obtain better quality eggs with the use of low doses of drugs. At this point, it is possible to determine your treatment plan by consulting your doctor. You can visit our website for more information.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Open Rhinoplasty: Involves making a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing greater access to nasal structures.
Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, making it a less invasive option with minimal visible scarring.
Revision Rhinoplasty: Performed when a patient is dissatisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty.
Functional Rhinoplasty: Aims to improve breathing issues caused by nasal obstructions such as a deviated septum.

Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty should:

Be in good overall health
Have realistic expectations about the results

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty): Everything You Need to Know

View Details

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty): Everything You Need to Know

Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure designed to improve the appearance and functionality of the chin. Whether you're looking to enhance facial harmony, correct a recessed chin, or achieve a more defined jawline, genioplasty can be a transformative solution.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various aspects of chin augmentation, including its types, benefits, risks, recovery process, and more.

What is Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty)?

Genioplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the chin either by moving the bone or by inserting an implant. It is often performed for aesthetic reasons but can also help address medical conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and jaw misalignment.

Types of Chin Augmentation

There are two primary types of genioplasty:

Sliding Genioplasty: This is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the chin bone and repositioning it forward, backward, or sideways. This method is ideal for individuals with severe chin deficiencies or structural abnormalities.
Chin Implants: A synthetic implant, typically made of silicone or other biocompatible materials, is placed over the existing bone to enhance the chin’s projection and shape. This method is preferred for those looking for a less invasive option with a quicker recovery period.

Benefits of Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation offers several aesthetic and functional benefits, including:

Improved Facial Balance: A well-defined chin enhances facial proportions and symmetry, particularly in relation to the nose and jawline.
Enhanced Jawline Definition: A stronger chin creates a more sculpted and youthful jawline.
Boosted Self-Confidence: Patients often experience increased self-esteem due to improved facial harmony.
Correction of Receding Chin: Individuals with a weak or underdeveloped chin can achieve a more pronounced and balanced appearance.
Potential Improvement in Sleep Apnea: Sliding genioplasty can help reposition the chin, which may alleviate symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in some cases.

The Surgical Procedure

Pre-Procedure Consultation

Before undergoing genioplasty, patients must have a consultation with a qualified plastic or maxillofacial surgeon. The doctor will evaluate facial structure, discuss goals, and recommend the most suitable procedure.

The Surgery

The procedure typically takes between 1-2 hours and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The technique used depends on the chosen augmentation method:

Sliding Genioplasty: The surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth, cuts the chin bone, and repositions it. The bone is then secured with plates and screws.
Chin Implant Surgery: The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth or under the chin and places the implant over the bone.

Recovery and Aftercare

Immediate Post-Surgery Period

Swelling and bruising are common and may last for a few weeks.
A liquid or soft food diet is recommended initially to avoid discomfort.
Pain medication and antibiotics may be prescribed to manage discomfort and prevent infections.

Long-Term Recovery

Most patients return to work within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Final results become visible once swelling subsides, typically within 3-6 months.
Proper oral hygiene is crucial if the incision is inside the mouth.

Risks and Considerations

While chin augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include:

Infection
Nerve damage leading to temporary or permanent numbness
Implant displacement or rejection
Asymmetry requiring revision surgery
Scarring (more common in external incisions)

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For those hesitant about surgery, non-surgical chin augmentation using dermal fillers can provide temporary enhancement. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers add volume and definition, but results last only 12-18 months and require maintenance treatments.

Is Chin Augmentation Right for You?

Ideal candidates for chin augmentation include:

Individuals with a weak or recessed chin
Those seeking improved facial symmetry
Patients in good overall health with realistic expectations

Conclusion

Chin augmentation (genioplasty) is a powerful procedure that enhances facial harmony, improves self-confidence, and corrects structural issues. Whether through a sliding genioplasty or chin implants, this procedure can provide long-lasting and transformative results. Consulting with a skilled surgeon is essential to determine the best approach for your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

If you’re considering chin augmentation, take the first step by scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic or maxillofacial surgeon to explore your options and achieve your desired look.

How to Improve Egg Productivity & Quality

How to Improve Egg Productivity & Quality

Fertility is a crucial aspect of reproductive health, and for women, egg productivity and quality play a vital role in conception. The number and quality of eggs naturally decline with age, but various lifestyle changes, diet improvements, and medical interventions can help maintain and enhance ovarian health. Whether you are planning for pregnancy now or preserving fertility for the future, here are some effective ways to boost egg productivity and quality.

1. Maintain a Balanced and Nutrient-Rich Diet

What you eat directly impacts your reproductive health. A fertility-friendly diet should include:

Antioxidants: Found in berries, nuts, and leafy greens, antioxidants help protect eggs from oxidative stress.
Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, and nuts support hormonal balance and egg cell membrane integrity.
Protein Sources: Include lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins like beans and lentils to promote healthy egg development.
Folic Acid & B Vitamins: Essential for cell division and DNA synthesis. Found in leafy greens, citrus fruits, and fortified grains.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts, they enhance egg quality and overall reproductive health.

2. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water is essential for circulation and nutrient transport to the ovaries. Dehydration can negatively affect egg development and hormone production.

3. Maintain a Healthy Weight

Being overweight or underweight can disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation. Maintaining a BMI within a healthy range supports regular ovulation and egg maturation.

4. Reduce Stress Levels

Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which can interfere with reproductive hormones and egg development. Stress management techniques include:

Meditation & Yoga: Help regulate stress hormones and improve blood flow to reproductive organs.
Regular Exercise: Moderate physical activity boosts circulation and hormone regulation.
Adequate Sleep: 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night supports hormone balance and overall health.

5. Avoid Toxins and Harmful Substances

Reduce Caffeine & Alcohol: Excessive intake can negatively affect fertility.
Quit Smoking: Smoking accelerates ovarian aging and reduces egg quality.
Limit Exposure to Environmental Toxins: Pesticides, plastics (BPA), and heavy metals can harm egg health. Opt for organic foods and use BPA-free products.

6. Take Fertility-Boosting Supplements

Certain vitamins and supplements can enhance egg quality:

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Improves egg cell energy and mitochondrial function.
Vitamin D: Supports ovarian function and hormonal balance.
Zinc & Selenium: Help protect eggs from oxidative stress and improve overall reproductive health.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): A precursor hormone that can help improve ovarian reserve in some cases (consult a doctor before use).

7. Consider Medical Interventions if Necessary

If you are struggling with fertility issues, consult a specialist who may recommend:

Hormonal Therapy: Helps regulate ovulation and improve egg development.
Ovulation Induction Medications: Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole can stimulate egg production.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): If natural conception is difficult, IVF can retrieve multiple eggs for fertilization.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: An emerging treatment that may help rejuvenate ovarian function.

8. Monitor Your Ovarian Reserve

Regular fertility check-ups can help assess egg quality and quantity. Tests such as:

AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) Test: Measures ovarian reserve.
FSH & Estradiol Tests: Assess ovarian function and hormone levels.
Antral Follicle Count (AFC) via Ultrasound: Provides insights into egg supply.

Conclusion

Improving egg productivity and quality requires a holistic approach that includes a healthy diet, lifestyle adjustments, and, if needed, medical assistance. By adopting these strategies, you can enhance your fertility potential and increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. If you are planning for the future, consider consulting a fertility specialist for personalized guidance on preserving and optimizing your reproductive health.
