Ovarian hyperstimulation, Tubal pregnancies, Ovarian torsion, and other complications.
Endometriosis is the leading cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, in locations such as the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, rectovaginal septum, etc. It affects 6 to 10% of women of reproductive age, 60% of women with chronic pelvic pain and 50% of infertility patients.
Endometriosis causes infertility by multiple mechanisms, the most common are: anatomical and functional damage to the fallopian tubes, anatomical and inflammatory disorders of the pelvic organs, ovulatory dysfunction and even alterations in embryo implantation. The disease occurs in varying degrees in each patient with mild impairment exist cases to very severe presentations. Infertility associated with endometriosis involves a complex management according to the severity of each case, requiring treatments such as intrauterine insemination, laparoscopic surgical management or assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization. In CMCR we have the best therapeutic options for the integrated management of infertility associated with endometriosis, with excellent success rates.
The anatomical and functional disorders of the fallopian tubes are one of the most common causes of infertility. Diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic infections and previous pelvic surgeries can cause irreversible damage and loss of function of the fallopian tubes and thus infertility. The damage to the fallopian tubes is suspected by hysterosalpingography and is corroborated by laparoscopy.
The degree of tubal disease in each patient is variable; minor damages can be resolved through microsurgery or laparoscopy with excellent success rates, severe tubal alterations require highly complex techniques such as in vitro fertilization to get pregnant. In CMCR we offer our services of assisted reproduction with highly trained medical staff and laboratory technology that will help you achieve the pregnancy.
This is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and affects 6-9% of Mexican women who are in this age group ; the PCOS involves several hormonal changes that occur with ovulatory dysfunction ( anovulation ) and therefore infertility ; plus long-term PCOS is associated with a significant predisposition for development of chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
Fortunately the management of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is the one that offers better success rates. In CMCR we offer comprehensive management of PCOS and the best treatment options for this disorder.
The 40% of cases of couples with infertility is due to alterations of the male. All changes are included in the so-called “male factor”. The causes are many and varied; They include congenital, infectious, anatomical, surgical, etc genetic alterations; manifested in changes in the production, transportation and quality of semen. The degree of involvement and treatment options vary for each patient. The successful treatment of infertility associated with male factor depends on proper diagnosis and the use of the best technique for obtaining and selection of sperm.
We offer the most complete andrological evaluation as well as the most advanced procedures for the correction of infertility due to male factor such as sperm capacitation, determination of Sperm DNA fragmentation (MACS), male genital tract surgery, surgical obtaining sperm (PESA, MESA, TESA, TESE), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and the best technology for sperm selection procedures of high complexity assisted reproduction (IVF-ICSI, also have sperm bank for those cases so they require.
The success of assisted reproduction techniques is directly related to the ability to obtain a sufficient number of follicles (eggs) during the procedure. But this response is not the same in all women; therefore we can classify patients according to the type of response that occur during the procedure. So there are patients with high ovarian response, normal ovarian response and patients with low ovarian response.
In patients with low ovarian response specifically the causes are many and varied; one of the main ones is that the patient has what is called “LOW ovarian reserve”. The main cause of low ovarian reserve is the depletion of the number of follicles that occurs physiologically by the age of the patient, this means that the older there are fewer follicles; there are also other less common causes and not age-related decreasing ovarian reserve. In WCAR we have the best resources for evaluation and treatment of the patient who presents with low ovarian reserve and infertility, including an egg donation program that offers the best success rates for these cases.
By no means. The percentage of malformations in newborn babies as a result of In-Vitro-Fertilization techniques is not higher than that of the general population. In the information published around the world and in Latin America, malformation rates do not exceed the rates found in the general population of reproductive age (2.0 to 2.4% of the newborn babies examined).
The multiple gestation rate is in direct proportion to the number of transferred embryos and the woman’s age. The global rate of multiple gestation is 29%. This means that 29 out of 100 pregnancies begin with two or more gestational sacs. 10% of these will be spontaneously reduced to one sac, an event that usually occurs before week 12 of the gestation.
They can be donated to a laboratory, for research purposes, or they can be donated to other patient. In both cases a formulary needs to be signed by the patient.
It is a protein dimetric measured in blood that is proportional to the number of developing ovarian follicles , which is considered as a marker of ovarian follicular reserve and aging . It represents the number of preantral and antral follicles in the ovary. It is useful for predicting ovarian response in assisted reproduction techniques and their success.
It is a laboratory technique used to determine the damage to the DNA (genetic material) of sperm. The high rate of fragmentation is related to male factor infertility and increased incidence of abortions in couples. It is useful as a predictor of success in assisted reproduction techniques of high complexity such as in vitro fertilization ( IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI ) .
