Infertility treatment abroad

Infertility is a problem that has caused serious problems to many couples. Normally couples don’t want to discuss this topic, but stats say that infertility is an issue that millions of couples are facing around the globe. Infertility is not just a male problem but many female can also have the inability to conceive. There are many reasons for infertility like:

• Abnormal sperm production in males.
  
  
• Unsuccessful delivery of sperm: There are many reasons behind this like blockage in testicles, genetic diseases, structural problems etc.
  
  
• Problems with sexual life
  
  
• Poor health conditions – This is normally due to unhealthy life style drug abuse, use of alcohol, obesity etc.
  
  
• Age – Normally it’s hard for male older than 40 to fertile.
  
  
• Fallopian tube damage or blockage in females.
  
  
• Problems with ovulation.
  
  
• Early menopause - It happens after 40 but earlier stoppage of menstruation can also be a major reason.
  
  
• Medications abuse – Use of some medicines can also lead to infertility but this can be solved by stopping the use of medicines.
  
  
• Thyroid dysfunction: Too much of thyroid or too little of thyroid hormone can interrupt the menstrual cycles.
  
  
• Surgery – Any kind of surgery like pelvic of cervical surgery can cause fertility problems.

What is the cure of infertility?

Infertility just like any other medical condition can be cured. All you need is to consult an experienced doctor. There are many advanced fertility techniques available like:

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
• Ovulation induction (OI)
• Intra Cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
• Intra Uterine insemination (IUI)
• Artificial insemination
• Surrogacy

Best part is that using these techniques you can become parent at any age. Parents in 40s, 50s, and even 60s have conceived successfully using the modern fertility techniques. Success rates in conceiving using these techniques is as high as 80% however with experienced doctors success rate can be as high as 95%.

Cost of Fertility Treatments

Normally costs involved in fertility treatments are very high in US and depending upon the type of procedure chosen it can cost from anywhere around $800 to %10000 per attempt. One cost effective solution to this is to choose countries like Mexico, India, Bangkok, Jordan, Brazil, Turkey etc where the same procedures cost as less as 75% of the costs in US.

As I’ve said in my previous post as well lower costs never ever means that there any any sub-standards in care, infrastructure, hygiene standards etc. The truth is that you will find hospitals and medical care in these countries even better than your home country.

Medical tourism is definitely the new global business and you can start a family happily by choosing Infertility treatment abroad

Question to ask before seeking a medical trip

Are you considering medical trip abroad as you find treatment abroad to be cost effective solution for your health situation. It’s a good thing that you understand the benefits of medical tourism. However given the benefits of treatment abroad this industry has become very lucrative and almost each country is trying to attract medical travelers. Thus it’s very much likely that you can fall into bad hands thus making medical trip a nightmare.

Now question arises how to choose the right hospital, doctor and country for treatment abroad? One must research all the option available and then shortlist one carefully. Before you think of final a country for medical tourism consider following pointers:

• Distance: Check you how much your medical condition allows you to travel and what the transport condition is in the destination country? If both these conditions satisfies you then you can proceed and check out other factors.
  
  
• Language: Does the staff understand English or your native language. In case the staff is non-English speaking then you must ask the hospital if they have or can arrange some translators for you. Until and unless you have very clear communication with your doctor, treatment can be lethal.
  
  
• Certifications: Certification and accreditation by national and international bodies gives the confidence that the hospital follows and maintains a standard in hygiene and patient care. Always select an internationally accredited hospital.
  
  
• Doctor’s qualifications: It’s very important that the doctors are highly qualified and highly experienced. It’s more than welcome if the doctor is trained or has practices in western countries.
  
  
• Hospital Specialty: Every hospital is specializes in an area it’s not worth if you go for kidney treatment in a hospital specialized for bariatric surgery.
  
  
• Mode of payments: Do the hospital accept payment in cash or in electronic form.
  
  
• Testimonials: Seek the testimonials of other foreign patients.
  
  
• Legal issues: Check for any legal issues etc. E.g. in case of surrogacy you may have to know in advance what legal process are involved and do the hospital or clinic provide any assistance with this.
  
  
• Length of Stay: How long are you required to stay and what’s the quality of hospital accommodation? Do hospital allow for stay of someone accompany the patient etc.
  
  
• Success Rate: Compare the success rate of doctor and hospital for the procedure with others in the same or other country.
  
  
• Post treatment care: Are there any follow up treatment, consultation required and is the costs already covered on not.

I hope this will help you and prove to be a better guide in selecting the right destination, hospital and doctors for your medical trip.

In case of any further help, please don’t hesitate to ask.
