Ovarian stimulation is a type of treatment that is used to produce more eggs through stimulation. This treatment is often used in women who have problems with their ovaries. During Ovarian Stimulation, your body will be injected with hormones and given oral medications that stimulate or induce your ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible within a short period. In the final procedure, the final matured oocytes or eggs are picked up in a procedure called “ovum pickup”, which is done under anaesthesia.
Ovarian stimulation, in general, can be understood as a procedure that is done to produce as many eggs to increase the number of embryos to aid in assisted reproductive technology. Through this procedure, the quality of the woman’s eggs is reassured and it can also help to increase the number of eggs that the woman produces.
At Rhea IVF and Women’s Hospital, we use this procedure to induce fertility in couples who are facing problems in conceiving naturally. We take all means and precautions necessary during the process and under the supervision of our expert doctor, Dr K . Shanmugavadivu, you can only expect the safest and best possible outcomes out of this procedure.
These are the key hormones that are used for ovarian stimulation.
In this minimal drugs or injectables are given from day 2 of periods, with the aim of producing a single oocyte or egg, with a trigger injection being given for oocyte maturation. This is then followed by naturally timed intercourse or the IUI procedure, which is done as per following the minimal ovarian stimulation protocol.
At Rhea IVF and Women’s Hospital, we adhere to moral and ethical standards that are based on trust and respect for one another. To provide the best-individualised care for each patient, we seek to minimise their pain and discomfort with affordable costs and unparalleled dedication and care.
