GYNAECOLOGY & INFERTILITY

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment involving the placement of sperm inside a woman’s uterus to aid fertilisation. The goal of IUI is to boost the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilisation. It provides the sperm with an advantage by giving it a head start but still requires a sperm to reach and fertilise the egg on its own.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF)

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is an assisted reproduction process where the egg is combined with the sperm for fertilisation outside the body. This involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process, removing ova from the woman’s ovaries and letting the sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus. IVF is performed to treat many causes of infertility in couples, such as the advanced age of the woman, and damaged or blocked fallopian tubes.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an IVF procedure where a single sperm cell is injected straight into the cytoplasm of an egg using a very fine needle. This method is used to develop the gametes for the obtention of embryos that may be transferred to a maternal uterus. In most cases, ICSI is done when the male partner has fertility problems, known as male factor infertility. He may have a low sperm count, so there aren’t enough sperm to successfully fertilise an egg.

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy, also known as ‘key-hole surgery’, is a way of doing surgery using small incisions (cuts). It is different from ‘open’ surgery, where the incision on the skin can be several inches long. Laparoscopy is done in cases where there is a need to diagnose or treat conditions in the abdomen or pelvis area, e.g. to diagnose or treat blocked tubes or endometriosis, take a biopsy for testing, etc. or to remove tumours, cysts or even to remove the uterus, tubes &/or ovaries. Opting for laparoscopy has many benefits. There is less pain after laparoscopic surgery than after open abdominal surgery, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery. The smaller incisions are used to heal faster and leave smaller scars. The risk of infection is also lower than with open surgery.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is the inspection of the uterine cavity by endoscopy with access through the cervix, i.e. through the natural opening of the uterus and therefore does not require any cutting or stitches. It is done to investigate and treat various gynaecological problems such as heavy periods, abnormal vaginal bleeding, post-menopausal bleeding, repeated miscarriages, difficulty in getting pregnant, etc. It is done with the help of a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube that is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Conditions inside the uterine cavity, such as fibroids, polyps (non-cancerous growths in the womb), septum, adhesions, etc., can be diagnosed and removed at the same time. Tubal cannulation can be done to open tubes that are blocked just at their origin from the uterus. The procedure is not painful because some sort of sedation or anaesthesia will be given. The extent of anaesthesia you need will depend on the purpose of your hysteroscopy.

Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)

TESA is a procedure performed for men who are having sperm retrieved for IVF/ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). It is done with local anaesthesia in the operating room or office and is coordinated with their female partner’s egg retrieval. A needle is inserted into the testicle, and tissue/sperm are aspirated. TESA is performed for men with obstructive azoospermia (s/p vasectomy). Occasionally, TESA doesn’t provide enough tissue/sperm, and an open testis biopsy is needed.

Advanced Vaccination (for children and adults)

Vaccination is a safe, simple, and effective means of protecting people against fatal diseases before they contact them. It uses your body’s natural defences to build resistance to particular infections and makes your immune system more powerful. Vaccines train the immune system to produce antibodies, just as it does when it’s revealed to a virus.

NICU

A NICU, seldom called a special care nursery, cares for newborns who are born premature, who have problems during childbirth, or who develop complications and require a higher level of attention. Although all NICUs care for infants who need extra help, different NICUs offer various levels of care.

Liver Clinic

The liver detoxifies various metabolites, synthesises proteins and produces biochemicals that are necessary for growth and digestion. Liver Clinic provides comprehensive care for all chronic and acute liver diseases, including fatty liver, hepatitis and cirrhosis. The clinic’s experts collaborate closely to tailor a care plan to your specific needs.

Parenting Clinic

Parenting clinics provide support to adults and adolescents living in unhappy families or surroundings, besides helping with children’s personal and moral development and providing career guidance. The clinic specialises in working with families whose child shows limited empathy/remorse and insensitivity to punishment.
