They are crucial for couples battling with infertility, as they help specialists uncover genetic abnormalities that impair fertility. They also help diagnose hereditary conditions which helps in early intervention. Advanced diagnostics help in developing personalised cancer treatments by identifying specific genetic abnormalities. At Birla Fertility & IVF,  we offer a broad range of advanced genetic testing alternatives. These advanced diagnostics help discover the underlying causes of infertility in both men and women. By accurately diagnosing the genetic factors that contribute to infertility, we can improve the chances of a successful and healthy conception.

Why are Genetics and Diagnostics Important?

Genetics and diagnostics are essential to understand and treat infertility. Here’s why:

  1. Identifying Causes:

    Genetic testing can detect changes (mutations) in your DNA that might cause certain diseases or illnesses. They help detect the underlying causes that can impact the fertility of both men and women. Identifying these abnormalities helps fertility specialists offer a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.

  2. Genetic Disorders:

    Individuals with a family history of any genetic disorders can undergo genetic testing. This step helps determine if they are at risk of developing that illness. For instance, it helps detect any genetic conditions passed on in the family that might affect fertility.

  3. Customised Treatment Plan:

    The accurate genetic information obtained via genetic testing enables specialists to design personalised treatment plans. It helps provide accurate treatments and improves the chances of a successful conception.

Who Are Offered Genetics & Diagnostics?

Genetics and diagnostics are offered to various individuals and couples with different fertility issues. This specialized testing provides valuable insights to develop effective customized treatment plans and make informed decisions. Genetics and diagnostics are offered in:

  1. Couples with Infertility Concerns
    Couples finding it difficult to conceive despite having unprotected sex for a year or longer are prime candidates for genetic and diagnostic testing. By recognising the exact genetic cause of infertility, specialists can offer targeted treatment options.
  2. Hereditary Concerns
    Individuals or couples with a family history of hereditary/genetic disorders are advised to opt for genetic testing. Understanding the genetic structure helps in identifying potential risks and taking preventive measures. This not only ensures a healthy pregnancy but also minimises the risk of passing on the genetic conditions to their children.
  3. Preconception Planning
    Genetic testing can help couples wanting to conceive or expecting parents detect any potential issues. It offers vital information that can help the couple with family planning decisions. It also helps prospective parents understand the risks and take the necessary precautions.

Treatments

Infertility Assessment Panel

Female infertility tests involve a combination of blood tests and ultrasounds to assess ovarian reserve, thyroid function, blood sugar, specific genetic conditions and uterine health. Male infertility tests involve a complete physical check-up, blood test and semen analysis to assess sperm count, sperm motility and sperm morphology.

Tubal Patency Tests

To get pregnant, the fallopian tubes must be open and healthy. Tubal patency tests are fertility investigations to detect blockages and adhesions in the fallopian tubes. Tubal defects are estimated to be the cause of infertility in almost 15%-20% of all patients. At Birla Fertility & IVF, we recommend tubal assessment as a first line of fertility investigations.

3D Ultrasound

Diagnosing the probable cause of infertility is complex and can involve several fertility investigations. Ultrasound scans play a crucial role in identifying and treating a wide range of fertility problems. They offer valuable information about women’s fertility potential and a clear view of structural problems that may be interfering with becoming pregnant.

Advanced Semen Analysis

Advanced Semen Analysis is a diagnostic test done to check the causes of male infertility. At Birla Fertility & IVF, we offer standard and advanced semen assessments performed at our cutting-edge andrology labs. Our team of skilled technicians performs a thorough semen analysis to find the factors behind infertility. The findings of this screening test are utilised by our fertility experts who tailor the desired treatment plan.

PGD

Sometimes, babies can be born with a genetic condition inherited from either parent. With advances in the field of fertility medicine, detecting an inherited disease before pregnancy is becoming a more precise science. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a treatment that allows us to check the genes or chromosomes of the embryo for a specific genetic condition and reduce the risk of passing it on to the baby. Approximately 600 genetic conditions can be detected through PGD. This treatment is also known as preimplantation genetic testing for monogenetic disease and offers a valuable alternative to more invasive conventional prenatal diagnosis.

PGS

Preimplantation Genetic Screening or PGS is a state-of-the-art diagnostic technique which is performed at a very early stage of embryo development in an IVF or IVF-ICSI cycle to screen their chromosomal make-up. This helps to identify and transfer embryos with a low risk of chromosomal abnormalities and increase pregnancy rate as well as lower the risk of miscarriage in certain situations.

EMMA

EMMA (endometrial microbiome metagenomic analysis) is a specialised diagnostic service that evaluates the endometrial microbiome. This service helps identify microbial imbalances in the lining of the uterus that may impact the success of implantation and overall reproductive health.

ALICE

ALICE (analysis of infectious chronic endometritis) is a specialised diagnostic service that identifies chronic endometrial infections, which can affect fertility. This service helps diagnose and treat chronic endometritis, improving the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

ERA

Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA) is a diagnostic test designed to determine the optimal timing for embryo transfer during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment. By evaluating endometrial receptivity, ERA aims to enhance the likelihood of successful implantation and pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smoking and consumption of other forms of tobacco is known to cause fertility problems in both men and women. Smoking can result in lower sperm count and poor sperm motility.

Common causes of male fertility include genetic defects, health problems (such as diabetes or STIs), varicoceles (enlarged veins in the testicles), sexual disorders (erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation), overexposure to certain environmental factors such as radiation or chemicals, cigarette smoking, alcohol, certain medications, frequent exposure to heat as well as cancer or cancer treatment.

Female infertility can be the result of advanced maternal age (over the age of 35), ovulation disorders that affect the normal release of eggs from the ovaries, uterine or cervical abnormalities, fallopian tube blockage or damage, endometriosis, premature menopause, pelvic adhesion as well as certain types of cancer and cancer treatment.

Pregnancy with blocked fallopian tubes depends on the severity of the blockage. In some cases, surgical intervention can help correct these issues. ART procedures like IVF have helped women with tubal infertility conceive successfully.

Fallopian tube blockage is often the result of inflammation of the fallopian tubes. This can be caused by sexually transmitted infections, endometriosis and surgery in the pelvic region among other conditions.
