On July 25th, join us in celebrating World IVF Day 2024, a momentous occasion dedicated to raising awareness about in vitro fertilization (IVF) and its transformative impact on families worldwide. This day highlights the remarkable advances in reproductive technology that have helped countless individuals achieve their dream of parenthood. It’s an opportunity to honor the resilience and hope of those undergoing IVF and to acknowledge the tireless efforts of medical professionals and support teams.
What is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a widely recognized and effective form of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The process involves retrieving eggs from a woman’s ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized eggs, now embryos, are then transferred back into the woman's uterus with the hope of achieving a successful pregnancy. IVF is often used for couples facing infertility issues, including blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, and other reproductive challenges.
Why is World IVF Day Celebrated?
World IVF Day is celebrated annually on July 25th to commemorate the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby born via IVF, in 1978. This day not only marks a milestone in medical science but also highlights the hope and possibilities that IVF brings to countless couples struggling with infertility. World IVF Day is a time to recognize the advancements in reproductive medicine, the dedication of fertility specialists, and the courage of the patients who embark on this journey.
What is Fertility Preservation?
Fertility preservation is a medical procedure that safeguards an individual's future conception ability, especially for those undergoing potentially harmful treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, or those wishing to delay childbearing for personal or professional reasons.
Who Can Benefit from Fertility Preservation?
Fertility Preservation Benefits
- Cancer Patients: Preserving eggs, sperm, or embryos before starting cancer treatments that may compromise fertility, such as chemotherapy or radiation, can provide the opportunity to have biological children later.
- Patients with genetic abnormalities can preserve sperm, eggs, or embryos, allowing them to produce children without passing on genetic illnesses.
- Women who postpone childbearing for personal reasons, such as school, profession, or relationships, might preserve their eggs to have biological children later.
What are the methods of Fertility Preservation?
Fertility preservation methods include egg freezing, sperm freezing, embryo freezing, ovarian tissue freezing, and testicular tissue cryopreservation. Egg freezing involves stimulating ovaries with hormones to produce multiple eggs, which are then frozen for future use. Sperm freezing involves preserving sperm by providing a semen sample, which is then frozen and stored. For men with low sperm counts or azoospermia, surgical procedures like testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or microdissection TESE can be used. Embryo freezing involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab to create embryos, which are then frozen. Ovarian tissue freezing is an experimental technique for re-implantation, particularly for prepubescent girls or women who cannot undergo stimulation. Testicular tissue cryopreservation is particularly useful for prepubescent boys who cannot produce a semen sample.
