Bashkiria, which ranks first in Russia in terms of oil refining, production of honey and milk, takes care of the natural population growth. The birth of healthy residents is greatly helped by the Republican Perinatal Center. Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan, has concentrated leading scientific personnel and the best specialists in obstetric care.
State budgetary institution
The center is only 13 years old, it was built and equipped with funds earned by the republic in the national economy.
From the very beginning, the Republican Perinatal Center (Ufa) was and remains the clinical base of the three departments of the Bashkir Medical University: obstetrics and gynecology, nervous diseases and pharmacology. The collaboration of scientists and practitioners is always beneficial, and in the field of obstetric care is generally invaluable.
The center is equipped with the most modern equipment: diagnostic, laboratory and medical. All couples wishing to have a child are provided here. A girl or woman of any age from all over the republic can apply here.
What does the center do?
The center specializes in the reproductive health of women and men, and helps with family planning. The ability to lead a healthy sex life, the timing of the birth of children, the very possibility and ability of childbearing are all reproductive health. The Republican Perinatal Center deals with all aspects of maintaining and maintaining reproductive health. Ufa cooperates with many similar centers both in Russia and in the world.
The center’s specialists will help prevent unwanted pregnancies and provide specialized care for sexually transmitted diseases. At the stage when pregnancy is only planned, it is important to identify hereditary congenital diseases and do everything to stop the transmission of defective genes.
Teenage difficulties
Doctors understand more deeply than others that infertility is better to prevent. That is why the Republican Perinatal Center (Ufa) treats adolescents with pathologies of the development of the reproductive system. Any boy or girl who has inflammation, tumors or defects in the development of the genitals can turn here - with parents, of course. The doctors of the center pay special attention to disorders of the neuroendocrine system.
Parental love is often blind, close people sometimes do not understand that a teenager is sick. Overweight, excessive interest in the sexual side of life, insomnia, explosiveness and obstinacy of adolescents can be signs of a hypothalamic disease, and not a bad character or inappropriate upbringing.
In all cases when the behavior of a teenager or his physical parameters go beyond those accepted in the family, the most reasonable is to consult a doctor and undergo at least a minimal examination.
Men's problems
A strong half of humanity prefers to remain silent about male infertility , it is believed that a woman is to blame. But this is an ostrich technique, the situation will not be corrected from silence. Statistics inexorably claims that exactly half of the causes of infertility relates specifically to men.
The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan takes every opportunity to ensure that men receive timely qualified assistance.
The cause of male infertility can be varicocele or a violation of the venous system of the testicles, trauma, infection, illness of the hormonal and immune systems. However, practice shows that a huge number of cases of male infertility are caused by overload, stress and ... banal inability to handle your own body.
In all cases when a couple cannot conceive a child with an established sex life during the year, the Perinatal Center (Ufa) will come to the rescue. Prices depend on the complexity of the case. Many examinations are performed without payment, since the medical institution is state-owned. However, there are studies for which prices are set. So, the initial appointment with a reproductologist can cost from 600 rubles.
Since February 15 of this year, prices for services have been increased. An ultrasound examination of the prostate costs 780 rubles, an ultrasound of the uterine vessels - 700 rubles, an ultrasound of a multiple pregnancy in the last weeks - up to 3000 rubles.
Spotlight on the girls
Girls from 15 years old can contact here to get advice on all contraception issues, as well as menstrual irregularities, various inflammations, especially sexually transmitted infections.
The better the inflammation is treated at a young age, the higher the likelihood of conception and the birth of healthy children. For reproduction, it is very important that the fallopian tubes are passable and the hormonal status changes according to the gestational age.
The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan pays special attention to expectant mothers with sclerocystosis of the ovaries. This complex disease is not always successful in defeating, many women do not have the opportunity to get pregnant. However, doctors in every specific situation try to save any chance to become a mother.
How will a woman of reproductive age help?
The perinatal center (Ufa, Gafuri, 74) treats such disorders:
- Menstrual irregularities.
- Miscarriage.
- Infertility.
- The consequences of difficult childbirth and abortion.
- Hormonal insufficiency.
- Various pathologies of pregnancy.
The advantage of the perinatal center is that all the specialists are gathered in the same walls - from gynecologists and andrologists to psychotherapists. The cooperation of specialists makes it possible to cope with the most neglected cases.
Department of IVF
In this place, those who realize their hidden hopes for a full-fledged family are those who can’t conceive a child in a natural way.
“Test-tube children” are no different from those conceived in the usual way. They even have advantages: parents are fully examined before the procedure, so the likelihood of transmission of hereditary diseases is minimal. More often than in the ordinary conception, twins are born, but in such a situation this is only an occasion for additional joy.
In vitro fertilization is considered the best way to treat infertility worldwide. But in all clinics in the world the effectiveness of this procedure does not exceed 45%. The Perinatal Center (Ufa) has the same indicators. Reviews of women who did not receive the desired pregnancy are sometimes full of bitterness and anger. They can be understood, this is a natural reaction. However, medical technology is only trying to fix what nature has changed. Such a percentage of successes is an unheard of achievement in itself, because only a few decades ago infertility was an absolute sentence.
The cost of IVF varies depending on the features. So, an operation in a woman’s natural cycle costs 32,000 rubles, and with anonymous donor cells - 154,300 rubles.
Department of Medical Genetics
Medical genetics allows you to identify hereditary and congenital diseases, to improve the overall quality of life. The undoubted advantage of genetic research is that an incurable disease can be detected long before the birth of a sick child. In this case, it is better to terminate an unsuccessful pregnancy in order to preserve the strength and health of the parents for future offspring.
The Perinatal Center (Ufa) has an excellent genetic counseling. Paid services include the identification of genes by polymerase chain reaction, as well as the determination of risk in individual genes.
The principle of PCR diagnostics can be defined as the reproduction of a separate DNA strand for its detailed study. This is a hardware procedure, during which the DNA strands are first melted and separated from each other, and then conditions are created so that the studied portion of the chain is multiplied many times. Specialists have the opportunity to identify all defective genes in order to understand how a particular disease will occur in a particular person.
The research method relates to molecular biology; to perform it requires expensive equipment and an environment of complete sterility. But the accuracy of the method is unsurpassed, and you can get an exhaustive answer to questions that tormented you for seven years.
Advantages and disadvantages
The center has collected a lot of unique diagnostic and medical equipment, a tremendous clinical experience has been accumulated. The overwhelming majority of doctors have a scientific degree; they are simultaneously engaged in medical and teaching work. People come here to be treated from all areas of Bashkiria. Many leave, glowing with happiness, holding the long-awaited child in their arms.
Many complaints are caused by doctors. The perinatal center (Ufa) has the same problems as other clinics of a similar profile throughout the country. Quotas are allocated for organ-saving operations, but they are not enough at all. District doctors do not always know about the capabilities of the center, and patients are late for treatment. Rudeness or neglect happens.
An informal popular rating gives this center no more than 5.5 points on a 10-point scale. The main problem is that health workers are trying to shift responsibility onto each other. In a budgetary institution, salary does not depend directly on the result of labor. Therefore, both a talented and a negligent doctor will be paid the same.
All this is, of course. But the center provides high-tech medical care - the best in the republic, thanks to which the health of citizens is preserved and the population is growing.
