Fibroids, also known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths composed of muscle and fibrous tissue.

They can develop in or near the uterus and vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses that can deform and expand the uterus. It is possible to have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. 

Although fibroids are quite common, affecting 40% to 80% of women, many remain unaware of their presence due to lack of symptoms. 

This is particularly true for those with small fibroids, referred to as asymptomatic fibroids, as they do not cause any noticeable symptoms.

Ovulation induction is a simple and minimally invasive medical procedure, used to stimulate the release of eggs from a woman’s ovaries. 

Typically employed in fertility treatments, it involves the administration of hormonal medications to enhance follicular development and trigger ovulation. This process aims to increase the chances of successful conception by promoting the release of mature eggs. Monitoring through ultrasound and hormonal assessments helps healthcare professionals adjust the medication dosage for optimal results. 

Ovulation induction is often utilized in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to improve the likelihood of pregnancy in individuals experiencing fertility challenges.

These days, a medical procedure known as “egg freezing,” also known as “oocyte cryopreservation,” is done to increase a woman’s window of fertility, which involves removing, freezing, and storing her eggs. In order to produce multiple eggs, the ovaries are stimulated. The eggs are then harvested, cooled to below-freezing temperatures, and preserved. Thanks to technology, women can put off having children while still having the option to use their eggs for future conception.

Women who are pursuing career and personal goals, those whose fertility may be affected by medical treatments e.g. cancer treatment, or those whose fertility is declining due to aging, often opt for egg freezing. Even though it doesn’t ensure future pregnancy, couples looking for more control over their family planning schedules are starting to consider egg freezing as a proactive way to protect their reproductive options.

Aging is a natural process that is inevitable. With advancing age, the body undergoes certain irreversible changes. Like all other body parts, a woman’s vagina also changes, partly due to aging and also because of childbirth. The vagina becomes loose and dryness becomes more evident. To overcome these problems, a procedure called vaginal rejuvenation is adopted. At times, it is done for cosmetic reasons. This procedure includes anything that changes or alters the vaginal anatomy, including both internal and external structures. There are surgical and non-surgical ways of carrying out vaginal rejuvenation.

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a medical procedure where a woman’s eggs are extracted, frozen, and stored to extend their fertility window. 

The process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then harvested, cooled to sub-zero temperatures, and preserved. This technology allows women to delay childbearing while maintaining the option to use their eggs for conception later on in life. 

Egg freezing is often chosen by women facing age-related fertility decline, medical treatments that may impact fertility, or those pursuing career and personal goals. 

Though it doesn’t guarantee future pregnancy, it offers a proactive approach to preserve reproductive options and is increasingly considered by couples seeking greater control over their family planning timelines.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) includes fertility treatments that involves handling either eggs or embryos. Two distinct procedures of ART that are now being widely opted by couples facing problems in conception are in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVM is relatively newer than IVF and there have been very fewer births with IVM when compared to the latter. Since both these procedures work towards the same outcome, the question arises as to choosing the better option out of the two. In this blog, we look into all the aspects of IVM and IVF that can help you consider one as a viable treatment option.
