Children are truly the flowers of life. They bring so much joy and happiness to those who are ready to receive them! In life, different situations happen, it happens that there are many children in dysfunctional families, they wander around the streets, and such “flowers” ​​themselves are unhappy, and parents are not particularly happy with their existence. But there are couples who are waiting for the miracle of the birth of the baby, but it does not happen ... Previously, this problem had no solution. But in recent years, medicine has been able to find a way that allows the family to raise their baby. This is IVF - in vitro fertilization. Such treatment of infertility is done by specially equipped clinics, one of which is Ava-Peter (St. Petersburg).
History of occurrence
The urgency of the problem of infertility of young couples led to the emergence of the Ava-Peter Clinic. Since 1996, in partnership with Finnish colleagues, a clinic for the treatment of male and female infertility has been opened in St. Petersburg. During the work, Ava-Peter (St. Petersburg) earned numerous thanks and appreciation of couples, for whom it became the last hope for the birth and upbringing of their child.
Clinic branches throughout the entire time of its existence were opened in several cities of the country. It is the base of the Department of Reproductive Health of Women MAPO. This indicates the dynamics of the study of the reproductive problems of men and women, studies of new methods of treatment of infertility. The latest technology is being tested to overcome the problem of lack of pregnancy with several attempts at artificial insemination.
Diagnostics at the clinic
Treatment at the Ava-Peter clinic (St. Petersburg) always begins with a preliminary conversation. It is important for the reproductologist to understand what the couple did to conceive a child. In this case, questions of the following nature are asked:
- How much time was spent trying to get pregnant?
- Did the couple take any treatment?
- What diagnosis has already been done?
- According to the spouses, what are the causes of infertility?
- Did the fact that the couple cannot conceive a child affect the rest of the life of a man and woman?
- How does each spouse relate to adoption or guardianship?
For a full diagnosis, the specialist will need confirmation of the previously conducted diagnostic and therapeutic measures. A reproductologist at the Ava-Peter Clinic (St. Petersburg) explains to the couple the possible causes of infertility, appoints additional consultations of narrow specialists, then an examination is carried out separately for women (ultrasound, tests for hormone levels, assessment of patency of the fallopian tubes, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy) and men (ultrasound testes, appendages, prostate gland, spermogram, sperm screening for antisperm antibodies, assessment of hormone levels).
Oncology and reproductive functions
This is a very important direction in the work of the clinic. The diagnosis of cancer often deprives people of any hope for life and procreation. But thanks to the latest developments in medicine and technology, as well as the high professionalism of the clinic’s employees, it has become possible to preserve the patient’s biological material to continue its kind.
The Ava-Peter clinic (St. Petersburg) practices cryopreservation of eggs, ovarian tissues, and sperm. This is done in order to suspend the patient’s biological clock until its functional ability to conceive a child. By defrosting biological material, specialists maintain its viability, thereby increasing the likelihood of pregnancy, its preservation and the birth of healthy children.
Such a service is very important for cancer patients. After all, chemotherapy affects the human reproductive system . The patient can donate his biomaterial to the cryobank and calmly engage in his health, performing various medical manipulations. But for freezing, it is necessary to take biomaterial before the start of chemotherapy courses.
Methods of treating infertility
To defeat this disease requires a lot of time, effort and patience. Clinic "Ava-Peter" (St. Petersburg), reviews confirm this, successfully helps people overcome problems with the inability to conceive a child. For this, different methods and methods are used here.
Depending on the causes of infertility, specific manipulations are used to help a woman feel the joy of motherhood, and a man to feel like a significant and responsible father.
With endocrine infertility, hormone therapy is used. This is one of the easy ways to achieve the desired result, but it also cannot be 100% predicted.
Artificial insemination is used if a man has found problems with sperm quality or anti-sperm bodies. In addition, there is also a "black hole" in reproduction - this is 10% infertility for undetected reasons. In this case, the indicated treatment method is also used.
Infertility treatment is also effective with IVF. Reproductologists use this method if the function of the egg passing through the fallopian tubes is impaired or the man has poor sperm quality. Also, this manipulation is successful with a combination of different forms of infertility, or if other methods of conception of the child did not bring the desired result.
A sophisticated method of injecting sperm into the egg is necessary for male infertility. After fertilization, the embryo is transferred to the uterine cavity and takes root there.
Surrogacy is also used when a woman cannot bear a pregnancy for medical reasons. The reason for such indications may be the absence of the uterus or a disease that prohibits such stress for the body.
Ava-Peter LLC - monitoring of pregnancy in women
After the manipulations, the woman is more reverent about her condition. If the attempt to get pregnant was successful, then it is necessary to adhere to all the doctor's recommendations regarding the regimen of the day, nutrition, physical activity. All risks of losing the baby should be minimized. To do this, you need to come for scheduled examinations and monitor your condition. The doctors of the Ava-Peter clinic at Gagarin (the reviews of women confirm this) are very attentive to the complaints of patients. If necessary, additional examination and treatment are prescribed.
Specialists understand how hard, moral, physical and material the woman went to her pregnancy, therefore, at the first complaints, they are ready to come to the aid of the expectant mother.
The study of the genetic characteristics of the patient
If attempts to get pregnant were unsuccessful, doctors at the Ava-Peter Clinic in Nevsky and other branches conduct a genetic examination. They analyze whether there are any mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene and conduct a thorough chromosomal study in men and women. Also, the fetus, in the case of an undeveloped pregnancy, does not remain without attention . A cytogenetic study of its cells is taking place to identify the causes of a dead pregnancy. With the help of genetic examinations in each repeated case of fertilization, the likelihood of continuing bearing the child and maintaining his health increases.
Genetic counseling is necessary for a couple in some cases:
- if the marriage is between relatives;
- in the presence of hereditary diseases;
- if the spouse was exposed to radiation;
- if there are deviations from the norm of the screening;
- if there are malformations of the child according to the results of ultrasound.
