PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS
In recent years, developments in genetics allow genetic analysis to be carried out on embryos developed in vitro by in vitro fertilization  ethods and the placement of selected healthy embryos in the uterus of the mother before pregnancy occurs. This method is called pre- regnancy genetic diagnosis (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis-PGD).
​
One of the most important application areas of the PGT technique embryos that do not have a genetic disease but may not have a genetic disorder in their chromosomes.
These disorders are more common in women of advanced age (35 years and older). This situation may result in infertility as it both reduces the chance of attachment of the embryo (implantation) and may cause unwanted abortions. As a matter of fact, 40 out of every 100 pregnancies in women aged 39 and over have problems that occur due to a numerical chromosomal disorder
 
The aim of PGD is to increase implantation rates, reduce spontaneous abortions and increase healthy baby birth rates by selecting hromosomally normal embryos. Indeed, the miscarriage rate, which can reach up to 23 percent in normal pregnancy due to chromosomal disorders, may decrease to 9 percent after PGD.
 
Pre-pregnancy genetic diagnosis is performed by taking 1 or 2 cells from embryos developed as a result of fertilization of egg and sperm cells obtained from mother and father candidates in laboratory environment. Special methods called Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are used for genetic diagnosis. Diagnosis of numerical chromosomal disorders such as monosomy or trisomy (Down syndrome and other trisomies) and single gene diseases (such as hemophilia, Mediterranean anemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophies) in the baby to be born is possible with PGD. Thus, healthy babies are born by transferring disease-free, healthy embryos to the expectant mother.
 
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE PREGNANCY
 
  • In couples with a genetic or hereditary disease carrier,
  • In couples who have a child or children with a previous genetic disease,
  • For the purpose of HLA genotyping (tissue typing),
  • In the identification of diseases showing genetic predisposition (tendency)
  • Women in the advanced age group (37 years and over) who have been accepted for assisted reproductive techniques,
  • In couples with recurrent early pregnancy miscarriages,
  • In couples who could not achieve pregnancy with assisted reproductive techniques despite multiple applications or who lost their pregnancy due to miscarriage,
  • It is applied in cases of chromosomal disorders or genetic diseases associated with severe male infertility.
 
HOW IS THE PGT TEST DONE?
 
  • Whether the patient is suitable for PGD is evaluated by the reproductive health specialist, genetic counselor and the doctor of the related disease.
  • The couple is prepared for the IVF procedure.
  • The egg taken from the mother is fertilized in the laboratory with the sperm taken from the father.
  • 1-2 blastomere cells are removed from the obtained embryo by biopsy by embryologists
  • Cells obtained by biopsy are prepared and tested according to the method to be applied.
  • Embryos with genetic diseases or chromosomal disorders are selected and discarded and healthy embryos are transferred to the mothers womb.

“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.

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


Who is Stomach Botox suitable for?


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

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

Our patients with a body mass index below 40,

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



Who can't be applied stomach botox?


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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Even accepting this idea can be stressful for women because genital examination is thought to hurt and the feeling of shame prevents women from going to the gynecologist unless they have to. However, gynecological examination is not painful. It does not pose an ethical problem either. Just because of some perceptions, women are hesitant to go to the gynecologist. However, many diseases that have given symptoms during genital examination can be pre-diagnosed. The vagina is entered with a speculum, then a smear is taken and this sample is sent to the laboratory. Necessary procedures are applied in cases where further examination is required according to the result.

 

How is Genital Examination Performed?

Genital examination is done by a healthcare professional. The presence of viruses such as HPV can be detected in the gynecological examination. Since detecting the presence of this virus before pregnancy will affect the pregnancy process, genital examination is important for precaution. Examination is essential in the presence of conditions such as vaginal bleeding, pain in the groin, and discharge. The appearance, smell and quality of the discharge are also very important. Genital examination is of great importance as transparent, milky, yellow or brown discharges can each be a sign of different diseases.

 

What are the Points to Consider?

The necessity of vaginal examination in case of menstrual irregularity, determining a contraceptive method, cervical infections, and pregnancy is indisputable. It can be life-saving for women not to be afraid of genital examination and to go to a gynecologist for diagnosis. Genital examination is of great importance in terms of early diagnosis in very serious diseases such as endometrial cancers, ovarian ca, ovarian cysts, and cervical cancer. Regardless of what, when they see a disease symptom in themselves, it is important not to infect other reproductive organs, so they should consult an obstetrician. While taking anamnesis, they should tell their stories clearly and do their best to regain their health.

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.

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.

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.

How to Improve Egg Productivity & Quality

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

1. Maintain a Balanced and Nutrient-Rich Diet

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

  • Antioxidants: Found in berries, nuts, and leafy greens, antioxidants help protect eggs from oxidative stress.

  • Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, and nuts support hormonal balance and egg cell membrane integrity.

  • Protein Sources: Include lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins like beans and lentils to promote healthy egg development.

  • Folic Acid & B Vitamins: Essential for cell division and DNA synthesis. Found in leafy greens, citrus fruits, and fortified grains.

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts, they enhance egg quality and overall reproductive health.

2. Stay Hydrated

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

3. Maintain a Healthy Weight

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

4. Reduce Stress Levels

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

  • Meditation & Yoga: Help regulate stress hormones and improve blood flow to reproductive organs.

  • Regular Exercise: Moderate physical activity boosts circulation and hormone regulation.

  • Adequate Sleep: 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night supports hormone balance and overall health.

5. Avoid Toxins and Harmful Substances

  • Reduce Caffeine & Alcohol: Excessive intake can negatively affect fertility.

  • Quit Smoking: Smoking accelerates ovarian aging and reduces egg quality.

  • Limit Exposure to Environmental Toxins: Pesticides, plastics (BPA), and heavy metals can harm egg health. Opt for organic foods and use BPA-free products.

6. Take Fertility-Boosting Supplements

Certain vitamins and supplements can enhance egg quality:

  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Improves egg cell energy and mitochondrial function.

  • Vitamin D: Supports ovarian function and hormonal balance.

  • Zinc & Selenium: Help protect eggs from oxidative stress and improve overall reproductive health.

  • DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): A precursor hormone that can help improve ovarian reserve in some cases (consult a doctor before use).

7. Consider Medical Interventions if Necessary

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

  • Hormonal Therapy: Helps regulate ovulation and improve egg development.

  • Ovulation Induction Medications: Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole can stimulate egg production.

  • IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): If natural conception is difficult, IVF can retrieve multiple eggs for fertilization.

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: An emerging treatment that may help rejuvenate ovarian function.

8. Monitor Your Ovarian Reserve

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

  • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) Test: Measures ovarian reserve.

  • FSH & Estradiol Tests: Assess ovarian function and hormone levels.

  • Antral Follicle Count (AFC) via Ultrasound: Provides insights into egg supply.

Conclusion

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