What is a swallowable gastric balloon?

The swallowable gastric balloon, also known as the ellipse gastric balloon, is a type of gastric balloon designed with the latest technology, which is used in the treatment of obesity and can be inserted into the stomach without the need for anesthesia and surgery.

WHY SWALLOWABLE GASTRIC BALLOON?

Gastric Balloon is swallowed with water.

Ellipse Gastric Balloon does not require endoscopy and anesthesia. It is applied by swallowing with water.

It is naturally excreted from the body.

It does not require removal. The balloon dissolves by itself and is expelled from the body by discharge.


Ellipse swallowable gastric balloon is a suitable procedure for those;
- With a body mass index over 25
- Between the ages of 18-65,
- Who are obesity patients,
- Who had dieted before and failed,
- Who are at risk of surgery or anesthesia,
- Who do not dare to undergo obesity surgeries.


The most important difference between the swallowable gastric balloon and the other gastric balloon method is that it can be applied without the need for endoscopy and anesthesia. The balloon is in pill form attached to a thin catheter (tube). After swallowing the balloon, it is checked with the help of x-rays to ensure it has settled in the stomach. After making sure that it is well placed, the balloon is filled with a special liquid with the help of the catheter, and the catheter is slowly withdrawn. The balloon stays in the stomach for 4-6 months, after which it is expelled from the body. It is possible to lose an average of 10-15% of your starting weight in these four months. Thanks to the smart scale and smartwatch you will have with the procedure, you can easily follow up, share your measurements with your doctor, and get the support you need during the weight loss process. The Swallowable Gastric Balloon is an effective method that is frequently preferred, especially since our patients coming from abroad do not have to come back again and again for both follow-up and removal.

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.

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

In patients with low sperm viability, quantity, number and structural quality, microfluidic technology, also known as the "chip baby method", ensures that the best quality sperm cells are selected by competing with each other in a way similar to the natural environment in the uterus, and ICSI is defined in in vitro fertilization treatment. With the application, it is left into the egg cell by microinjection method.

In this method, sperm cells with the best structural form, genetics and physiology are selected without causing cell damage, since techniques such as centrifugation (settling), vortex (mixing with high vibration) or mixing with a pipette are not applied to the sperm cells, which can physically damage the sperm cells. In classical preparation methods, sperm cells are prepared in a shorter time without being subjected to manipulation by skipping processes such as washing, flotation, gradient (grading), centrifugation (precipitation at high speeds). Thus, the sperm cells with the best DNA quality and physiologically are selected by themselves, and the sperm cells that pass this pre-screening are again screened under the microscope and the sperm cells of excellent quality are used for microinjection.

The above-mentioned classical preparation methods cause sperm cells to undergo respiratory stress, known as oxidative stress, and it has been scientifically proven that this can also cause DNA damage in healthy sperm cells. Better quality embryos are tried to be obtained with sperm cells that have been proven to be of the best quality by scientific data, and thus embryos with the highest potential for implantation (attachment) and development are obtained. The average total mobility in suckling samples taken from male individuals with microchip technology increased by 1.7 times.
The sperm cells obtained by this method were found 3 times faster than the classical preparation methods, and the forward motile sperm cells increased 3.8 times.

In recent years, intralipids have been used to reorganize the immune systems of candidates, especially in recurrent IVF failures. Intralipids consist of an oil emulsion of soybean oil, egg phospholipids and glycerin. Intralipid serum application provides intrauterine balance by affecting the immune system that prevents the embryo from adhering to the expectant mother. This application, which is given to patients intravenously in the form of serum, is carried out at certain intervals during the ovulation induction, on the day of embryo transfer and in the following period.

While deciding on intralipid serum supplementation in line with the treatments we planned with the principle of personalized treatment, the physical and biological characteristics of the couples, recurrent IVF failures and infertility histories are taken into account.

Embryo pool technique is the method of freezing the embryos obtained by collecting two or more eggs (OPU) and transferring the accumulated embryos by thawing them together. It is possible to make an embryo pool by collecting eggs multiple times using little medication (seminatural cycle) or without using drugs (natural cycle) and transferring embryos that have reached advanced developmental stages, such as blastocyst stage. This application is recommended for couples with reduced egg reserve or concomitant IVF failures. With the embryo pool method, it will be possible to achieve more treatment with less cost, a higher chance of pregnancy per embryo transfer, and reduce the negative effects of infertility on couples.

View Details

“Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome”, also known as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), in the most basic way; It can be explained as a reaction to the hormones given to women for the development of the ovaries. During IVF treatment, women are given hormone drugs to stimulate and support egg development. When these hormone drugs stimulate the ovaries more than necessary, the syndrome of overstimulation of the ovaries occurs.


How Ovaries Stimulation Happens?

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an undesirable consequence of IVF treatment. Although the aim of IVF treatment is to develop a large number of eggs, OHSS may occur if more than a certain number of eggs develop.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome are much more likely to have ovarian overstimulation syndrome. Excessive response to the drugs given to stimulate the ovaries prepares the ground for encountering this syndrome. During the stimulation of the ovaries, there is a fine line between stimulating the desired number of eggs and over-stimulating the ovaries. It is not always possible to determine this point clearly. When there is overstimulation, reducing the dose of ovarian stimulating drugs and not giving the drug for a day or more, if needed, can prevent the excessive rise of estrogen.


Symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be mild, moderate or severe. These symptoms are;

-Increased ovarian size

- Abdominal pain, bloating, shortness of breath, decreased urination

-Fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity

-Coagulation disorders

It can be seen as fluid collection in the chest cavity. It is extremely important to follow these situations closely and to get medical support when necessary.


How is Ovarian Overstimulation Syndrome Treated?

OHSS treatment is carried out to relieve the expectant mother, reduce ovarian activity and prevent complications. However, OHSS can be performed in two different ways as drug and surgical treatment. In mild cases, no additional treatment is required other than outpatient follow-up and severe physical activity restriction, and the patient can usually recover in 10-14 days. Moderate and severe cases may require hospitalization and treatment. In most cases, women who have had OHSS can continue IVF. It is still possible to become pregnant despite OHSS, but these symptoms may worsen if pregnancy occurs. In this case, the patient is followed closely under the supervision of a doctor.

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.

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.

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.

There are 2 treatment methods most commonly preferred by couples who want to have a baby but do not have a baby for various reasons. One of them is in vitro fertilization treatment and the other is insemination method. In our article, we will try to answer the most frequently asked questions about the vaccination method, what is insemination and how it is done.


What is insemination? 


If couples cannot get a pregnancy result after one year after unprotected sexual intercourse, infertility is diagnosed. Infertility can have many causes, depending on the woman and the man. Thanks to science and developing technology, there are now many treatment methods for infertility. One of these methods is the vaccination method. In its simplest form, the method of vaccination is to prepare the sperm in the laboratory and inoculate the woman's uterus at the time of ovulation to ensure fertilization. In order for the vaccination method to be performed, some tests must be done to make sure that there is no problem in the uterus of the expectant mother. In addition, at least one of the tubes of the expectant mother must be in working condition. The purpose of the vaccination method is to select the motile, normal sperm with a higher probability of fertilization and send them to the uterus of the expectant mother. Thus, it will be more likely to be fertilized with eggs and selected sperm supported by drugs or pills. 


How is insemination done?


Before the insemination method, the development of the egg is supported with pills or low-dose injections given to the expectant mother. During this process, the egg is tracked. When the eggs mature and reach certain sizes, a cracking needle is given and the eggs are cracked. Just at this time of cracking, the sperm prepared in the laboratory are transferred to the uterus. Thus, the most suitable time of ovulation is provided for the woman and the best sperm are transferred to the uterus at the right time. insemination is a natural method. Only sperms that will increase the probability of fertilization are carefully selected. From the sperms taken from the father-to-be, those that are of good quality, motile and washed in a certain number, that is, processed. As Hüma IVF Center team, we tried to give information about what is insemination and how it is done in our article. We hope it was useful. You can contact us via our website to get more detailed information about IVF treatment or to ask your questions.

As couples who want to become parents cannot become parents with natural methods, couples resort to some treatments. In vitro fertilization is the first treatment method. And IVF treatment is a very advanced and effective treatment method. Some applications in IVF treatment are important for the positive outcome of the treatment. Embryo glue application, which is one of the important application methods, is a very successful application. Embryo glue is one of the applications without any known risk. As a result of the studies, it was concluded that it did not increase the risk of miscarriage or pregnancy complications. Now we will provide you with detailed information about embryo glue. We wish you pleasant reading.

What is Embryo Adhesive?



Embryo glue, a method used in IVF treatments, is a kind of liquid embryo culture medium enriched with a substance called hyaluronan, in which embryos are left before transfer to the uterus of the expectant mother.

Hyaluronan is a natural carbohydrate found in all tissues in the body. The embryo needs an environment rich in carbohydrates, amino acids and protein in order to develop healthily inside. In addition, embryo glue is also called embryo glue because it reduces the ability of the embryo to move in the uterus.

How and Who Is Embryo Adhesive Used?



Embryo adhesive application is done as follows:

After the embryos are developed in the laboratory for 3-5 days, the most suitable one for embryo transfer is selected.

· The most suitable embryos selected for transfer are taken into the embryo glue.

· Embryos are kept in this environment for about 30 minutes.

· After standing, the embryos are taken from the culture dish and drawn into the catheter (a thin tube).

· The catheter is then passed through the cervix under ultrasound guidance and the embryos are transferred to the uterus.

In expectant mothers who have repeated in vitro fertilization failure using the embryo glue method,

It is used in couples who want to have children over the age of 35, when the quality of the embryo depending on the egg or sperm is not very good.

Is the Success Rate High in Embryo Bonding?



Embryo adhesive is one of the most frequently used applications for the last 10 years in order to increase the chance of success in IVF treatment. Experts were unsure about the effectiveness of embryo glue at first. However, in recent years, the effectiveness of embryo glue has been observed as a result of scientific research. Today, embryo glue is applied by various IVF centers. Hüma IVF Center is one of these centers.

The high concentration of hyaluronan concentrates the embryo glue similar to the tissue of the fluids in the womb, so that better mixing of these fluids minimizes the mobility of the embryo. In addition, hyaluronan acts as a bridge between the embryo and the inner wall of the uterus by binding to the inner wall of the uterus and the molecules on the surface of the embryo. In this way, it helps the embryo to attach to the uterus.

We aimed to give you information on this subject by considering the embryo glue method. We talked about how this method is applied and its success rate.

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.

In this article, we have given detailed explanations about inralipid serum therapy and that parents can receive intralipid serum treatment in cases where pregnancy does not occur due to some reasons.

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.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, which occurs due to irregular hormone production, is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women of reproductive age. Polycystic ovary syndrome, which is seen in one out of every 10 women, is manifested by menstrual irregularities such as abortion or long-term periods. So, what is polycystic ovary syndrome, the incidence of which has increased in recent years? What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary and treatment of polycystic ovary?









What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?






Follicles in different developmental stages in a normal ovary are selected during the menstrual period and become secondary and mature follicles. This selected follicle is then thrown out of the ovary with ovulation. In polycystic ovary syndrome, there are many immature follicles in the ovary and ovulation does not occur. Some changes are also seen in the hormone production of the ovary.

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.

Serum Intralipid Therapy is a treatment used specifically to strengthen the immune system. The immune system plays a big role in the repeated IVF failures and recurrent miscarriages seen in some women. For this purpose, intralipid serum therapy is also used. This is a type of treatment that is started prior to IVF treatment and is applied once a week or every two weeks until the baby's heartbeat is heard, if deemed necessary after pregnancy is achieved. Now let's take a closer look at intralipid serum treatment together ...

What is Intralipid Serum Therapy?

Intralipid serum therapy is a form of treatment that starts on the day of the transfer and continues throughout the process. Intralipid whey contains fat molecules and soy protein, which strengthens the immune system. The immune system is extremely important for a healthy pregnancy and its continuation. Because half of the child belongs to the father, the mother's body does not reject it. In vitro fertilization failure also occurs in case of rejection, but intralipid therapy can prevent this failure.

What is infertility, what are its symptoms, what kind of treatment method is applied?



Infertility, as it is called in the medical literature, is one of the most important health problems affecting millions of people around the world. In addition to being a health problem that can be seen in women and men, today the number of couples who cannot have children is quite high. According to researches, 10-15% of couples who have unprotected sexual intercourse for a year cannot have a child.

In our article, about infertility, one of the most important health problems in the world; We will try to give short answers about what is infertility, what are the symptoms of infertility and how to apply the treatment method.




What is infertility?


According to the definition of the World Health Organization, infertility; “Failure to conceive within one year of a sexually active couple who had unprotected intercourse without using contraception.” is the status. In other words, in order to be able to talk about infertility exactly, couples must have unprotected intercourse for one year and be unable to conceive. Infertility is one of the important health problems affecting 25% of the world population. In the researches, it can be seen depending on the woman or the man.

What are the symptoms of infertility?

The most important sign of infertility for both men and women is the inability to get pregnant despite having unprotected sexual intercourse for one year. However, some symptoms seen in men and women can be seen as a sign of infertility and an examination may be required accordingly.


 infertility in women;


- Imbalances in the menstrual cycle can be considered as a symptom. If you have periods longer than 35 days or shorter than 21 days, you should definitely see a specialist.

- If you are in your 30s and younger, it is expected to get pregnant within 1 year.

- If you are in your 35s and 40s, pregnancy is expected within 6 months. If pregnancy does not occur within 6 months, it is useful to see a doctor.


Infertility in men;


- Sexual dysfunctions are considered a sign of infertility. Example; impotence, ejaculation, such as strain.

- Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area during sexual intercourse may also be a sign of infertility.

- Infertility in men can often be caused by hormonal disorders.

Although all these symptoms are not exactly the cause of infertility, they are among the factors affecting it and may be symptoms of infertility.



What kind of treatment method is applied in infertility?







There can be many different reasons for the occurrence of infertility. Therefore, first of all, the causes of infertility are investigated. Different treatment methods are tried according to the detected cause. Some of the treatment methods applied are as follows;

- IVF Treatment

- Vaccination

- Microinjection

In vitro fertilization is one of the most well-known and most preferred and effective treatment methods among other treatment methods.

Adenomyosis is a female disease that occurs in women, especially as age increases. Women with adenomyosis experience extremely painful, painful and excessive bleeding menstrual periods. This heavy menstrual period also affects the daily life of women with adenomyosis. In addition, it causes anemia. If you are experiencing these problems and want to know more about Adenomyosis, you can continue reading our article.

What is Adenomyosis?



The uterus contains an inner lining of the uterus called the endometrium. The task of this inner membrane is to limit the inner surface of the uterus. The inner membrane inside the uterus is renewed every month with the menstrual period and in some women it moves towards the uterine muscle layer. Adenomyosis occurs as a result of thickening of the inner membrane in the uterine muscle layer.

There are two types of adenomyosis: benign and malignant. It is a benign type that is usually seen in women, but some women may also have a malignant type that requires surgery and poses a risk.

Women with adenomyosis have difficult days during their menstrual periods. During this period, they may have to cope with excessive pain and excessive bleeding. Again, they may feel uncomfortable bloating before the menstrual period and may experience pain and pain during sexual intercourse.

What are the Causes of Adenomyosis?



Although the causes of adenomyosis disease in women are not known clearly, it is known that hormones such as estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone trigger this ailment. Apart from this, external interventions in cesarean deliveries, surgical cuts or inflammation of the inner lining of the uterus during birth trigger the cells that regulate the uterus to leave their borders and cause adenomyosis. Development-related adenomyosis can also be seen. During the developmental process, the endometrial accumulation formed between the muscles during the first formation of the fetus in the uterus may cause adenomyosis.

What is the Relationship Between Adenomyosis and Infertility?



The age at which adenomyosis is most common is people between the ages of 40 and 50. Adenomyosis is a female disease related to the uterus. For this reason, we can say that adenomyosis is directly related to infertility and pregnancy. Adenomyosis is a disease whose incidence increases with increasing age, so infertility and adenomyosis can be seen together when pregnancy is considered in older women. Expectant mothers who encounter this situation can achieve their dreams of having a child by trying the in vitro fertilization method after receiving adenomyosis treatment.

What is Adenomyosis Treatment?



Experts have done many studies to treat adenomyosis disease and as a result, they have found various treatment methods. We can talk about hormonal therapy as the first treatment method. With hormonal therapy, it is tried to relieve the pain caused by adenomyosis and to reduce the excess blood. For this, birth control pills, temporary menopause treatments or medicated spiral methods can be used. As a second method, we can consider MRI Focused Ultrasound. In MRI focused ultrasound treatment, high-intensity heat waves are used to destroy the tissue that causes adenomyosis. Another form of treatment is hysterectomy. This form of treatment is the most permanent solution, but because it results in the removal of the uterus, it is applied only to women who do not plan to have children or in severe cases that do not respond to any treatment.

 In this article, we discussed adenomyosis, which is common in older women. What is adenomyosis, what are the causes of this disease, what is the relationship between adenomyosis and infertility, and what are the treatment methods for this disease, based on all these questions, we have made detailed explanations about adenomyosis for you. We wish you a pleasant reading. You can visit our website for more.

Ovarian reserve, known as the ovary, is a term used to determine the fertilization ability of the ovary to provide egg cells and to determine the probability of a successful pregnancy. With the advancing age of the expectant mother, the number of egg cells obtained from the follicles for pregnancy decreases. decreased ovarian reserve (AMH); It is a condition in which the ovaries begin to lose their normal production capabilities, reducing fertility. Decreased ovarian reserve reduces women's chances of conceiving spontaneously or with treatment. However, it is aimed to minimize the effects of this situation with various methods. The main causes of decreased ovarian reserve can be listed as follows:

· Smoking,

Chronic diseases,

 Coffee consumption

  Age of the expectant mother,

Genetic abnormalities (X chromosome abnormalities)

Various treatments (such as radiation for cancer)

· Having undergone ovarian surgery.

You can continue reading our article for reduced ovarian reserve and all its details.






How to Identify Decreased Ovarian Reserve?



Decreased ovarian reserve is determined by examining the hormone tests to be performed on the 2nd or 3rd day of the menstrual period of the expectant mother. FSH hormone gives information about the status of ovarian reserves. If the FSH value is higher than 10, it indicates decreased ovarian capacity.

The best indication of the capacity of the ovaries is the vaginal ultrasound. Existing and developing egg structures can be easily detected here. If there are less than six egg structures in the total ovaries, decreased ovarian reserve may be in question.

In summary, decreased ovarian reserve; It can be understood by clinical evaluation of the person, vaginal ultrasound, measurement of AMH hormone and FSH hormone in the blood.



Can a Woman with a Decreased Ovarian Reserve Get Pregnant?



Existing studies show that women with reduced ovarian reserve can become pregnant both spontaneously and with IVF treatment. Although it has been shown that high serum FSH levels in women are associated with low pregnancy rates, it is not sufficient to make a decision based on this alone. Egg cells also regulate their size under the influence of genetic factors. The speed of the aging process of the ovaries varies greatly among women, except for the age factor. In addition to the successful results of endocrine tests and imaging methods in the numerical evaluation of ovarian reserve, their values ​​in determining the chance of pregnancy remain at a limited level.

The chance of conceiving of a woman who is determined to have decreased ovarian reserve with ovarian reserve tests and clinical evaluations by specialist physicians can be increased by applying appropriate ovulation treatment protocols. Patients with reduced ovarian reserve can become mothers with different techniques today. In order to determine these methods, it is important to plan and apply special treatment methods suitable for patients by considering various factors.



How Is Decreased Ovarian Reserve Treated?



Currently, there is no treatment for decreased ovarian reserve that prevents or slows down ovarian aging. In addition, lifestyle changes have an extremely important role in preventing premature aging of the ovaries and in order to ensure the healthy continuation of egg quality, that is, to increase egg reserve and quality. These;

· Eating a balanced and healthy diet,

Doing regular exercise,

Quality and adequate sleep,

Avoiding chemicals, high glycemic index and fast food style foods,

Not to use substances such as cigarettes and alcohol,

· Using antioxidant drugs under the control of a physician.

 

 

If you have decreased ovarian reserve and want to have a child according to your required tests and vaginal ultrasound results, it is extremely important to seek in vitro fertilization treatment in the presence of a specialist doctor, without wasting time.

As Hüma IVF Center, we choose the most appropriate treatment method for you, apply it and continue to serve.

Blastocyst transfer, which is one of the advanced in vitro fertilization techniques applied today, is a method that offers a much higher chance of pregnancy to couples who want to have children. The blastocyst transfer method, which is a method that minimizes the possibility of multiple pregnancy, which is frequently encountered in IVF treatments, supports families in making their plans to have a child more effectively. The blastocyst is defined as the 5th or 6th day of the egg becoming an embryo. Before transfer, one or two embryos of the highest quality are selected and the transfer is carried out. This method is among the most important processes of IVF treatment. What is blastocyst transfer, what are its advantages and risks? You can continue reading our article, which includes the details of blastocyst transfer with questions.


What is blastocyst transfer?



Blastocyst transfer, which has an extremely important place in the IVF treatment process, is the process of transferring the embryo created in the laboratory environment to the woman on the 5th or 6th development day. Embryos are followed in incubators in the laboratory and when they reach the blastocyst stage, transfer to the uterus is performed. Blastocyst transfer has many positive contributions to the IVF process, such as enabling better quality embryo transfer and reducing the risk of multiple pregnancy.


What are the advantages of blastocyst transfer?



Blastocyst transfer is a method that has been used frequently in recent years, depending on the developing technologies. In the first years of in vitro fertilization treatment, the expected time for transfer was 48 hours, but this period has been extended in parallel with the developments experienced today. In the blastocyst transfer method, embryos with the highest success rate are selected more easily with transfers made after 5 and 6 days. In general, the advantages of blastocyst transfer can be listed as follows;

The chance to achieve better results against recurrent pregnancy failures, thanks to the selection of embryos with better development potential and compatibility with the uterus,

Reducing the possibility of multiple pregnancy by transferring fewer embryos with high viability,

The chance to observe the embryo development more clearly and healthily,

Freezing of embryos at the time when they have the highest developmental power, that is, at the blastocyst stage,

· Allowing different methods to examine embryo viability.



What is the risk of blastocyst transfer?



The condition that can be encountered frequently as a result of blastocyst transfer is the factor of multiple pregnancy. For this reason, some legal restrictions have been imposed on the number of embryos to be transferred in order to be protected from the risks of multiple pregnancy. For our country, this limit has been determined to be a maximum of 2 embryos. By performing 1 or 2 blastocyst transfers in embryo transfer on the 5th day, both the risk of multiple pregnancy is reduced and the chance of pregnancy is increased. The aim of IVF treatment is to achieve a healthy fertilization. In this direction, better quality but less number of embryo transfers will minimize the risks that may be encountered and will facilitate healthy results.


Who is blastocyst transfer suitable for?



Blastocyst transfer can be applied to all couples with a high number of fertilized eggs and good embryo quality on the 2nd day. Since a single embryo can be transferred in the first two attempts under the age of 35, a blastocyst transfer will be made to them, thus preventing multiple pregnancy. In our country, blastocyst transfer is successfully applied and high success rates are achieved. However, the remaining quality embryos after the transfer are successfully frozen with the vitrification method, which is a new and fast freezing technique, giving couples a second chance.

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.

Calcium ionophore therapy is a treatment method applied to ensure a healthy fertilization and to obtain a high pregnancy rate. In order to talk about a healthy fertilization, when the sperm enters the egg, the enzyme in the head part of the egg must be released into the egg and the amount of calcium inside must increase.

If the amount of folfolipase C in the sperm is low, the egg cannot be fertilized because without phospholipase, the calcium rate in the egg does not increase.

Calcium ionophore therapy is an application that increases the amount of calcium in the egg. In the calcium ionophore application, the egg and sperm are first fertilized by micro-injection. After this process, the eggs are kept in a calcium ionophore for a few minutes. The main purpose here is to increase the calcium level that needs to be increased in the egg. In other words, calcium ionophore therapy helps the fertilization of the egg by supporting the reactions that should start in the egg. So, what is calcium ionophore therapy and to whom is it applied? Now we will answer all these questions for you.



What is Calcium Ionophore? To Whom Is It Applied?

It is possible to define calcium ionophore therapy as an application that increases the amount of calcium in the egg. This treatment method is generally applied to the people we will list below. Those people;

Individuals with successive fertilization problems

If very few eggs or sperm are obtained

In cases where no fertilization can be achieved with micro-injection therapy

In patients with “globosperm” of all sperms

Calcium ionophore therapy is applied.



Who Is Fertilized With Calcium Ionophore?

In cases where embryo transfer cannot be performed due to the fertilization step not taking place during IVF treatment, activation of the eggs and fertilization are aimed by using calcium ionophore. Thus, calcium ionophore therapy is applied. With this treatment method, the problem of non-fertilization can be eliminated and treatment can be applied in couples who have non-fertilization problems. This treatment method is also applied to couples who have problems as a result of obtaining a very small amount of egg and sperm. Fertilization is performed with the calcium ionophore treatment method and a high pregnancy rate is obtained.

In this article, we have given the answers to all these questions for you, what is calcium ionophore therapy, to whom this treatment method is applied and in whom fertilization occurs as a result of the treatment.

Insemination treatment is a method of selecting the sperm that is the highest quality of the sperm taken from the expectant father during the ovulation period, that is, during the period when the probability of conception of the expectant mother is the highest, and then putting it into the womb of the expectant mother. A state of fertilization that has been tried many times by natural means, but no successful results have been obtained, thanks to vaccination treatment, sperm and egg dec easily combined and fertilized. So, how will expectant parents understand this situation when Insemination gives a successful result? We will answer this question and give you more detailed information about Insemination treatment. We wish you a pleasant reading in advance.



What is Insemination?


Insemination is a treatment applied by people who want to become parents but have not been able to achieve this condition by natural means. This treatment, which is performed before starting IVF treatment, is aimed at increasing the chances of pregnancy. Insemination takes place exactly as follows;

· Several necessary tests are applied to prospective parents before.

· Male sperm is taken and the best quality sperm is selected by special procedures.

* Spermatozoa are released into the uterus when the woman's eggs are laid. Here this process is known as the vaccination process.

The vaccination method is a method used in cases where the man's sperm count or mobility is low, when there are problems with the excretion of semen during intercourse, when the woman's cervix is narrow. The cause of infertility cannot be explained in any way.





To Whom Is Insemination Therapy Prescribed?


“Who is the Insemination method applied to?"we can explain the question as follows; It is a form of treatment applied to expectant parents who want to have children, but for various reasons some kind of pregnancy condition cannot be created. For the implementation of this treatment, the man or woman must have some problems that he is experiencing. We can list the problems encountered as follows:

· If there is a lack of sperm count and mobility in a man,

· If there is a problem of unexplained infertility (infertility)

· If the woman has ovulation problems and therefore pregnancy could not be done with egg tracking

· It can be applied in couples who want to accelerate the possibility of pregnancy due to social reasons experienced by couples.



What is the Success Rate of Insemination?


With the development of technology in the medical field and the scientific studies conducted, the success rate of Insemination treatment is quite high. And every day these treatments are being enriched with a new way and it is aimed to increase the success rate of Insemination to the highest level.







When Do the Symptoms of Pregnancy Begin With the Success of Insemination?


There is no difference between the occurrence of pregnancy with Insemination and the occurrence of pregnancy by natural means and the appearance of symptoms in terms of the occurrence of pregnancy Dec In other words, expectant mothers are 3rd of pregnancy, as in naturally occurring pregnancies. from the week she begins to experience signs of pregnancy. These symptoms can be considered as complaints such as dizziness, weakness, nausea and vomiting that occur in the morning. Expectant mothers who have these symptoms can find out if they are pregnant by taking a pregnancy test. 12-14 after Insemination to see if pregnancy has occurred. on the day, the Beta HCG hormone is checked in the blood and it is understood whether pregnancy exists or not. If the pregnancy result is positive, you will need to contact your doctor and undergo an examination to keep it under control. After this examination, a clearer result will be obtained by looking at it with ultrasound and it will be determined whether there is a pregnancy or not.

After Insemination, expectant parents should continue their normal lifestyle. They do not need to change anything in their lives with the introduction of Insemination therapy. In this process, they should only take care of regular and balanced nutrition and protect themselves in the best way. We have shared all the details of the vaccination method with you in this article.

IVF treatments are supported by a wide range of tests and analyzes to get a healthy result. With the help of these tests, problems that may occur before and after pregnancy are also detected and planning is carried out in this direction. NGS, a genetic analysis technology that allows comprehensive chromosome screening to be performed in embryos, is a test that gives extremely effective results as technological developments gain momentum. With NGS, embryos are scanned quickly and effectively, and genetic problems at the chromosome level are detected before pregnancy. The aim of this method is to select a healthy embryo by performing genetic analysis on embryos before the transfer process and to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. You can continue reading our article for the details of the NGS test.



What is Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (NGS)?


It is extremely important that the embryos obtained in IVF treatments are successfully transferred to the uterus. But in some cases, pregnancy may not be achieved. One of the most important reasons why a healthy pregnancy cannot be achieved despite embryo transfer in treatment has been identified as chromosome disorders that occur in embryos. In order to achieve a healthy and successful result in IVF treatments, it is necessary to analyze the embryos in detail and detect chromosomal abnormalities. Previously, the multidimensional and complex structure of chromosomes would have made multiple tests necessary. While this situation is quite time consuming and costly, the NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) test appears as a result of the developing technology today. The NGS method is a newly developed genetic analysis technology that allows comprehensive chromosome screening of embryos. The NGS method allows all embryos to be screened within a short period of time. With NGS, which offers a quick and detailed scan, chromosome-related problems are diagnosed before pregnancy. All 24 chromosomes are scanned with the NGS test.

Comprehensive chromosomal screening practices performed by the NGS method play an extremely important role in diagnosing disorders and have an effect on facilitating healthy outcomes in IVF treatments.


What are the Features of the NGS Technique?




Chromosomal abnormalities are determined by screening with the NGS method. Embryos containing more than two or more cell communities with different chromosomal structures are called “mosaic embryos”. Mosaic embryos are detected more easily with the NGS technique. After these chromosomal abnormalities detected by the NGS test are detected accurately and in detail, the process is advanced by including them in the treatment planning. Compared to the different PGD methods used to date and known, the NGS method provides a high-intensity scanning area, allowing you to detect even some genetic disorders, as well as numerical changes occurring in chromosomes.


What Genetic Defects Can Be Detected with NGS-Based PGS?



Embryos obtained in IVF treatment are evaluated according to various criteria in terms of the characteristics they have, and a healthy result is sought by ensuring the transfer of the embryo with the best developmental characteristics to the uterus. Examination of the developmental characteristics of the embryo under a microscope by classical methods does not give a clear information about the chromosomal state of the embryo. This information is only reached by performing a genetic screening with PGS. Even if the embryos have a good quality structure, they can contain various chromosomal problems, and this can also lead to problems such as early miscarriages, some structural disorders in the developing fetus, or the embryo does not hold on to the uterus. The main purpose of using the PGS method, which is an NGS-based method, is to increase the adhesion of the embryo to the uterus, which is found to have a chromosomally normal structure, to reduce the likelihood of miscarriage that may occur later, and as a result, to increase the likelihood of couples having healthy babies. The NGS-based PGS operation is performed by embryologists who have the necessary education and experience in this regard. The process takes a short time and does not cause any harm to the embryo. The PGS process begins by combining the egg taken from the expectant mother and the sperm taken from the expectant father outside the body. 5. Development of embryos from formed embryos. or 6. on the day when the blastocyst is at the stage, several cells are taken by biopsy without damaging the embryo. These received cells are sent to the genetic laboratory for a scan of 24 chromosomes, while the embryos are frozen. At this point, it is extremely important that the procedure is performed by a qualified embryologist so that the embryo does not get damaged. At the end of this examination, the embryo or embryos whose genetic structure has been determined to be healthy are transferred after completion of intrauterine preparation and pregnancy results that reach higher rates are obtained, especially.

To summarize briefly; NGS-based PGS is a genetic screening method and can be used to detect numerical and structural imbalances in chromosomes. However, single gene diseases, especially those with familial transmission, cannot be detected with the PGS method.


Who are the Groups of Patients Who Can Be Administered NGS?




The benefits of the NGS method, which is a new generation genetic analysis technology, also raises the question of which patient groups this technique can be applied to. Before answering this question, we can state that the intended point of the NGS method is to be able to detect numerical and structural changes in chromosomes. Therefore, we can address the question of which people have these changes more often for groups of patients who can be administered NGS. Groups of patients for whom NGS can be applied can be listed as follows;

· In cases of repeated miscarriage,

· in expectant mothers over the age of 38,

· In severe male infertility,

* In cases of infertility, the cause of which is unknown,

· It is applied in cycles of continuous self-recurring treatment failures.

The NGS method, which is a rapidly developing field, is actively used in many countries today due to its possibilities and facilitating and accelerating effects for the process.


What are the Advantages of Preimplantastone Genetic Screening with NGS?




NGS, a new genetic examination method used to screen for 24 chromosomes in embryos, provides the opportunity to examine and sequence the entire human genome both numerically and structurally in a short period of time, such as a single day. It offers us a revolutionary technology in this aspect. The improved NGS method can detect mosaic embryos better than other PGD methods. The main advantages of Preimplantastone Genetic Screening with NGS are that it allows you to quickly scan a large area of genes, both numerically and structurally. In addition to scanning gene fields numerically and structurally, the NGS method also has advantages such as obtaining a more accurate result with a low margin of error, achieving faster results, and having a lower cost. With this method, 24 chromosome screening can also be performed simultaneously with the study of single gene diseases and HLA typing.


Does NGS Damage the Embryo?




IVF treatments are an extremely exciting period for couples. During this period, in order to obtain a healthy result, various tests are applied to the embryos obtained to determine the success rate. In some cases, couples may have a high risk of genetically abnormal embryo development. Advanced maternal age is one of these conditions. Embryos that are not genetically normal are not suitable for transfer. In order to be able to determine the chromosomal status of embryos and to obtain a healthy result, process planning is carried out in the light of the NGS result. Another confusing situation for couples at this point is whether NGS causes any damage to the embryo during the application phase. Doctors who specialize in their field and NGS performed under appropriate conditions do not pose a danger risk to the embryo. At this point, managing and planning the process in accordance with the needs with a reliable specialist and institution will also be an extremely important step.


Does Pregnancy Always Occur With a Smoothly Detected Embryo?




After the tests and examinations, embryos that do not carry any genetic abnormalities are placed in the uterus. The probability of the occurrence of pregnancy after this procedure develops due to various factors. These factors;

· Women's age

· The amount of ovarian reserve of the woman

* Sperm quality

· Embryo quality

· Ensuring a proper intrauterine environment

· The presence of hydrosalpinx

· Conditions encountered during embryo transfer

it can be sorted as follows. All these factors are among the dec that affect the occurrence of pregnancy. From this point of view, it is impossible to say that pregnancy always occurs with an embryo that is detected without problems.

Studies have shown that age-related embryos are less likely to be chromosomally normal. For this reason, pregnancy rates are also decreasing due to the increasing age of women, especially in IVF trials that have not been applied to PGS. In women under the age of forty, NGS-based PGS normal embryos vary between 40 and 60 percent probability with the results of the analysis, the rate falls below twenty percent in people over the age of 40.

In women over the age of forty, a low pregnancy rate is achieved by transferring an embryo that has not been genetically screened with NGS, while this rate is increased by transferring an embryo that has been diagnosed with NGS and is chromosomally normal.


How Many Days Do NGS Results Come Out?



The embryos that have been biopsied are 5 or 6 until they reach the blastocyst stage. by following it up to the day, only embryos that have not been detected as abnormalities are transferred to the expectant mother's uterus (uterus). The NGS process applied to the embryos is completed within the same day. In this way, treatment planning is quickly directed.

What are the NGS Test Prices?

The information obtained from the results of the NGS test gives a comprehensive information for the IVF process. At this point, NGS, a new generation genetic screening test, has entered our lives as a result of high technology. It is a method that also has many advantages, especially if it provides a quick and wide information about the chromosomal state of the embryo. In addition to the advantages it provides, NGS is a method that also has an extremely low cost. This is a situation that also increases the availability of the test. As the Huma IVF family, we continue to be there for our couples during this exciting process. For all your questions about NGS, you can review our site and contact us for detailed information.

In this article, we have included details about the NGS method. It is important to detect embryos that do not have chromosomal abnormalities, as well as to successfully transfer the embryos obtained in IVF treatments to the uterus. Comprehensive chromosomal screening practices performed by the NGS method play an extremely effective role in detecting chromosomal disorders in embryos and increase the risk of a positive outcome of the process.

Cat Eye Lift (Lateral Canthoplasty): A Guide to Achieving the Alluring Feline Look

In the world of cosmetic surgery, the desire for more youthful, exotic, and dramatic eye shapes has led to the growing popularity of the cat eye lift, also known as lateral canthoplasty. This procedure has become a favorite for those who want to achieve a striking, almond-shaped eye with lifted outer corners, giving them the appearance of an elegant, feline look. If you're considering this aesthetic treatment, this blog will walk you through everything you need to know about the cat eye lift.

What is a Cat Eye Lift (Lateral Canthoplasty)?

A cat eye lift, or lateral canthoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and elongate the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more angular and youthful appearance. The goal of the procedure is to enhance the natural shape of the eyes by re-positioning the canthus (the corner of the eye) to give it a more open and lifted appearance, mimicking the alluring, feline eye shape.

While the procedure is mainly used to achieve a more dramatic look, it can also correct functional concerns, such as sagging eyelids or drooping outer corners of the eyes that may cause a tired or aged look.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Cat Eye Lift?

The ideal candidate for a cat eye lift is someone who:

  • Has drooping or downward-turned outer eye corners
  • Wants a more dramatic, almond-shaped eye appearance
  • Is in good overall health
  • Has realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery
  • Is looking for a permanent, natural enhancement to their eyes

If you're experiencing a tired or aged appearance due to the sagging skin around the eyes or simply want to enhance your natural eye shape, a cat eye lift can be an effective solution. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine whether the procedure is suitable for you based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

The Cat Eye Lift Procedure: Step-by-Step

The cat eye lift procedure is relatively straightforward but requires careful planning and precision. Here’s a general overview of what to expect during the procedure:

1. Consultation and Planning

Before undergoing a cat eye lift, you’ll have a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. During this consultation, the surgeon will examine your eyes and facial structure to determine the best surgical approach and ensure you’re a good candidate for the procedure.

2. Anesthesia

The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s preferences. The anesthesia ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the surgery.

3. Making the Incision

The surgeon will make a small incision at the outer corner of the eyelid, where the upper and lower eyelids meet. This is usually done discreetly along the natural lines of the eye to minimize visible scarring.

4. Repositioning the Canthus

The surgeon will carefully lift and reposition the tissues around the outer corner of the eye (the canthus) to achieve the desired lifted effect. The skin, muscles, and connective tissue may be tightened to create a more angular, almond-shaped look.

5. Closing the Incision

Once the desired lifting effect is achieved, the incision will be carefully closed with dissolvable sutures. The healing process will typically take a few weeks, and the scar will fade over time, becoming less noticeable.

6. Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes. Your surgeon will provide aftercare instructions, including how to care for the incision site, avoid strain on the eyes, and manage any discomfort. It's important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.

Benefits of a Cat Eye Lift

The cat eye lift provides numerous benefits, both aesthetic and functional:

  • Enhanced Eye Shape: The primary benefit of the cat eye lift is the ability to achieve a more lifted, almond-shaped eye that many find youthful and dramatic.
  • More Youthful Appearance: Lifting the outer corners of the eyes can counteract the sagging or drooping that occurs with age, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
  • Permanent Results: Unlike non-surgical alternatives like Botox or fillers, the results of a cat eye lift are permanent, making it a long-term solution.
  • Correction of Drooping Eyes: For patients with drooping outer corners or ptosis (sagging eyelids), the cat eye lift can correct this issue and restore a more youthful expression.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgery, there are risks associated with the cat eye lift. It's important to weigh these risks carefully and discuss them with your surgeon during the consultation. Some potential risks include:

  • Scarring: While the incision is typically hidden in the natural creases of the eye, there is always a small risk of visible scarring, especially if the wound doesn’t heal properly.
  • Infection: As with any surgery, there’s a risk of infection at the incision site, though this can usually be minimized with proper aftercare and antibiotics if necessary.
  • Asymmetry: In rare cases, the results may be uneven, leading to asymmetry in the eyes. This can usually be corrected through revision surgery if needed.
  • Dry Eyes: Some patients may experience temporary dryness or irritation in the eyes after the procedure, which usually resolves over time.

Non-Surgical Alternatives to a Cat Eye Lift

If you’re hesitant about undergoing surgery, there are non-surgical options that can provide temporary results to lift the outer corners of the eyes:

  • Thread Lift: PDO threads can be used to lift the skin around the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more subtle lift. The results are temporary and usually last 6-12 months.
  • Botox: Botox injections can relax the muscles around the eyes, which may help lift the outer corners temporarily, but this only provides a subtle effect compared to surgery.
  • Filler: Dermal fillers can be used around the eye area to add volume and smooth out wrinkles, but they don’t create the same dramatic lifting effect as a cat eye lift.

Conclusion

A cat eye lift is a highly effective procedure for those who want to achieve a more youthful, defined, and dramatic look. Whether you're looking to correct drooping outer corners or simply want a more exotic eye shape, this procedure can provide permanent and stunning results. However, as with any cosmetic surgery, it’s important to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits and consult with a qualified surgeon to ensure the procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals. With proper planning and care, the cat eye lift can give you a more captivating, feline-inspired appearance that enhances your overall beauty.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy): The Ultimate Solution for a Youthful Appearance

Aging is a natural process, but sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume can make many individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance. A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by tightening the skin, lifting sagging tissues, and restoring youthful contours. This procedure has become one of the most popular and effective anti-aging treatments for both men and women seeking long-lasting results.

In this blog, we will explore everything you need to know about facelifts, including the procedure, benefits, risks, and recovery process.

What is a Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens and lifts the skin of the face and neck to create a more youthful appearance. It helps reduce the visible signs of aging by addressing:

✔️ Sagging skin around the cheeks and jawline
✔️ Deep wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds)
✔️ Loose skin and excess fat in the neck area (often referred to as a “turkey neck”)
✔️ Loss of facial volume and definition

Facelift surgery primarily targets the lower two-thirds of the face, including the jawline and neck. It is often combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting for more comprehensive results.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

A facelift is ideal for individuals who:

✅ Have sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or jowls
✅ Want a natural-looking rejuvenation without looking “overdone”
✅ Have good skin elasticity for better healing
✅ Are in good general health and do not smoke
✅ Have realistic expectations about the outcome

Age is not the only factor when considering a facelift. While most patients are between 40 and 70 years old, younger individuals with early signs of aging may also benefit from less invasive facelift techniques.

Types of Facelift Procedures

There are several different types of facelifts, ranging from traditional surgical facelifts to minimally invasive techniques. The right procedure depends on the degree of skin laxity, personal goals, and the surgeon’s recommendations.

1️⃣ Traditional Facelift (Full Facelift)

✔️ Ideal for patients with moderate to severe sagging skin
✔️ Involves incisions along the hairline and behind the ears
✔️ Lifts and tightens the deep facial tissues and removes excess skin
✔️ Provides the most dramatic and long-lasting results

2️⃣ Mini Facelift

✔️ Suitable for mild to moderate sagging in the lower face
✔️ Involves smaller incisions around the ears
✔️ Less invasive than a traditional facelift, with quicker recovery
✔️ Best for younger patients who want subtle enhancement

3️⃣ Mid-Facelift

✔️ Targets the cheeks and mid-face area
✔️ Focuses on restoring volume and lifting sagging tissue
✔️ Ideal for patients with sunken cheeks and deep nasolabial folds

4️⃣ Neck Lift (Lower Facelift)

✔️ Focuses on sagging skin, fat, and muscle laxity in the neck and jawline
✔️ Can be combined with a full facelift for a more balanced look

5️⃣ SMAS Facelift (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System Facelift)

✔️ One of the most advanced techniques that lifts both skin and deeper tissues
✔️ Provides longer-lasting and natural-looking results
✔️ Helps avoid the “pulled” or “windblown” look

The Facelift Procedure: Step-by-Step

A facelift is a customized procedure, but the general steps include:

Step 1: Anesthesia

  • The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

Step 2: Incision Placement

  • The surgeon makes incisions around the hairline, behind the ears, and sometimes under the chin (for a neck lift).
  • For a mini facelift, smaller incisions are used.

Step 3: Tissue Repositioning & Skin Tightening

  • The underlying muscles and connective tissues are lifted and repositioned for a more youthful contour.
  • Excess skin is trimmed away, and remaining skin is gently re-draped over the face.

Step 4: Closing the Incisions

  • The incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives, which are removed within 7-10 days.

Step 5: Recovery & Healing

  • The patient is monitored for a few hours before being discharged home.

Recovery & Aftercare

✔️ First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common but can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses.
✔️ One Week: Most patients can return to light activities within a week.
✔️ Two Weeks: Bruising and swelling significantly subside, and patients can return to work and social activities.
✔️ One Month: The final results start becoming visible, with a firmer and more youthful appearance.
✔️ Three to Six Months: Full healing is complete, and the final facelift results are fully settled.

???? Tip: Avoid heavy lifting, intense exercise, and direct sun exposure during the initial recovery phase to prevent complications.

Benefits of a Facelift

✔️ Long-Lasting Rejuvenation: Unlike fillers and Botox, a facelift provides permanent improvements to facial aging.
✔️ Natural-Looking Results: Advanced techniques prevent an overly tight or unnatural appearance.
✔️ More Defined Jawline & Neck: Eliminates jowls and sagging skin for a sharper, youthful contour.
✔️ Boosted Confidence: A refreshed and younger look often leads to higher self-esteem.

Risks & Considerations

Although facelifts are generally safe, there are some risks, including:
⚠️ Temporary swelling and bruising
⚠️ Scarring (although incisions are hidden in natural creases)
⚠️ Nerve damage (very rare, but can cause temporary numbness)
⚠️ Hematoma (blood accumulation under the skin) – may require drainage

Choosing a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon significantly reduces these risks and ensures a safe and successful outcome.

Facelift vs. Non-Surgical Alternatives

If you're not ready for surgery, there are non-invasive treatments that can improve facial aging:

???? Dermal Fillers & Botox – Add volume and smooth wrinkles
⚡ Thread Lift – Uses dissolvable threads to lift the skin (temporary)
???? Ultherapy & RF Microneedling – Uses ultrasound or radiofrequency to tighten skin

While these treatments offer temporary improvements, they cannot achieve the same dramatic results as a surgical facelift.

Conclusion: Is a Facelift Right for You?

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions for reversing the signs of aging. Whether you're looking to eliminate sagging skin, restore youthful contours, or redefine your jawline, a facelift can provide dramatic and natural-looking results.

If you're considering this procedure, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
