What is IVF & how does IVF work?
Who can benefit from IVF?
IVF can benefit individuals and couples dealing with various fertility challenges, including issues related to fallopian tubes, ovulation, sperm health, advanced maternal age, recurrent miscarriages, genetic concerns, and same-sex couples. Additionally, IVF is an option for preserving fertility before medical treatments and for those considering surrogacy.

What percentage of IVF treatments are successful?
The age of the female partner, the quality of the eggs and sperm, and the skill of the IVF clinic are some of the variables that can affect the success rates of IVF treatments. It is therefore important to wisely choose your partner hospital for your fertility treatment.  In general, about 60% to 80% IVF pregnancies reach their full term and result in the delivery of a healthy baby. We at Altius Hospital have had excellent results with IVF rendering joy to couples who had given up on this dream.
Is IVF painful?
The majority of couples claim that the IVF process is not very unpleasant but some discomfort may be felt during some phases, such as during egg retrieval. Bloating and cramping are possible symptoms for some women, although they usually go away in a few days. At Altius, our healthcare providers communicate constantly with the couple ensuring any issues they have are quickly addressed.
What risks come along with IVF procedures?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is generally considered safe, but like any medical procedure, it carries some risks and potential complications. Generally risks are not of serious concern and are mild to moderate such as infection, mild pain etc.
Can lifestyle adjustments enhance the chances of success in IVF procedures?
Yes, adopting a healthy lifestyle can potentially improve the chances of success in IVF procedures. Maintaining a healthy weight, following a balanced diet, exercising moderately, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, quitting smoking, managing stress, ensuring adequate sleep, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins are all factors that may positively impact fertility and overall well-being during the IVF process.
