Kathmandu. Indira IVF, a leading fertility center, proudly invites couples to embrace hope, pursue parenthood, and realize their dreams. Indira IVF Nepal is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate support to couples on their journey to parenthood.
On World IVF Day, the center reaffirms its commitment to addressing myths and misconceptions surrounding infertility treatments. World IVF Day is a significant occasion that raises awareness about the advancements and success stories in the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The journey of IVF began with a global success story. World IVF Day commemorates the birth of the first IVF baby, Louise Brown, in 1978. Her arrival marked a groundbreaking achievement in medical science, proving that conception outside the human body was possible.
Nepal’s journey with IVF started much later. Nepal celebrated its first IVF baby, Om Mani Tamang, in 2005. Initially, only a handful of centers offered IVF, but fortunately, the scenario has changed significantly in recent years.
The IVF industry in Nepal has seen significant growth and development over the past few decades. As infertility becomes more recognized and accepted as a medical condition that can affect anyone, the demand for advanced reproductive technologies has increased.
The expansion of fertility clinics, like Indira IVF, brings treatment closer to those seeking it. Most importantly, increased awareness about infertility has broken down the stigma, encouraging couples to openly discuss their struggles and seek the help they need to achieve their dream of parenthood. These combined factors have made IVF a more accessible option for Nepali couples facing infertility.
“Delayed childbearing, unhealthy lifestyles such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, and changing environmental conditions all contribute to infertility. We had one case of low sperm count and through a combination of DFI test and TESA procedure we were able to achieve a successful pregnancy,” said Dr. Neha Homagai, Chief Infertility Specialist and center head at Indira IVF.
Dr. Manisha Acharya, an IVF specialist at Indira IVF, highlights, “The case of male infertility, especially low sperm count, in Nepal is quite common. Many patients seeking successful treatment at Indira IVF Nepal have previously undergone unsuccessful IVF attempts elsewhere. With advanced technology and personalized care, Indira IVF Nepal has been able to provide hope and solutions for couples striving to start their families.”
It’s important to note that infertility is often labeled a women’s problem. However, 40% of cases are due to male factors, 40% to female factors, and 20% to both. In women, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), weight gain, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles are common causes. Understanding and addressing both male and female factors are crucial for effective treatment and successful outcomes.
Traditionally, societal views in Nepal placed the burden of infertility solely on women. However, Indira IVF is changing this perception by highlighting male infertility factors and promoting open communication about fertility challenges. The center has conducted 11 awareness camps across Nepal to educate the public and dispel myths surrounding IVF.
Indira IVF, India’s leading chain of fertility hospitals, expanded its services to Kathmandu, Nepal, earlier this year to address the growing demand for accessible and affordable infertility treatments in the country. The clinic offers comprehensive care, emotional support, and state-of-the-art technology to empower couples on their journey to parenthood. Indira IVF is committed to transforming infertility treatment in Nepal and providing hope for a brighter future.
