Applications of Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) and Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for achieving pregnancy
Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) In this procedure, embryos, which are created through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) are checked for chromosomal abnormalities before transferring them into a uterus. Most of the miscarriages occur in the embryos carrying chromosomal abnormalities. To enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy, PGS is sometimes offered to people with recurrent pregnancy loss or infertility. For screening of embryos with an abnormal number of chromosomes preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is used. If an embryo contains abnormality in the number of chromosomes, it may lead to miscarriage, Edward’s syndrome, or even Down’s syndrome. To improve the chances of …
PCOS and its Adverse Effects on Fertility
PCOS or Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an endocrinal disorder which affects women in their reproductive years. It approximately affects 5-10% of young women and often leads to infertility. Women suffering from this condition experience irregular periods, abnormal hair growth, acne, and their ovaries might contain multiple small cysts. PCOS affects the reproductive organs of women that produce progesterone and estrogen — the hormones that control the menstrual cycle. The ovaries also provide a small number of male hormones called androgens. In the condition of PCOS, the androgens are excessively produced and this, in turn, disturbs the regular function of the …
IVF – A medicinal boon for couples seeking to reproduce
Reproductive medicine is constantly evolving to improve its success rates. Since the first IVF in 1978, where the egg was fertilized with the sperm in-vitro and the embryo was transferred to the uterus, millions of parents have welcomed babies using the technology. Here are some technical advances that increase chances of conception. Pre Implantation Genetic Screening (PGS): Traditionally, doctors selected embryos according to their appearances. However, even top-rated embryos can have chromosomal abnormalities resulting in implantation failures. PGS screens embryos that are developmentally and chromosomally competent, so only genetically normal embryos are transferred thus increasing the chances of implantation and …
