In couples where there is severe male infertilityand is unable to conceive even after repeated fertilization attempts by conventional IVF treatment or after egg freezing (oocyte preservation), is the next step in fertility treatment.

If a man does not have any sperm in his ejaculate, but he is producing sperm in his testis, these produced sperms are retrieved through a surgical step called as testicular sperm extraction (TESE).

ICSIis also the method of choice in cases of retrograde ejaculation, where the sperm retrieval is from the urine.

In such cases during the next IVF cycle, ICSI is tried.• Frozen sperm is being used: If the thawed sperm appear to be inactive, ICSI-IVF is on a recommendation.• Frozen oocytes are being used: Verification of eggs can cause hardening of eggshell, which causes complication in fertilization.

IVF with ICSI can help in overcoming this hurdle.• PGD is being done: PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is an IVF technique which allows genetic screening of embryos.

Who can opt for ICSI?• Couples who want to include PGT in their cycles to ensure fertilization is better.• Couples who are facing severe male infertility• When the only course of action is by sperm retrieval through TESE/MESA• Poor oocyte quality/ low oocyte yield• Suitable for women aged over 40 years of age ( to overcome sperm-Oocyte Penetration Issues)• Couples who are facing repeated fertilization failure• Ejaculatory Dysfunction The procedure involved in IVF-ICSI: As with regular IVF procedure, ovarian stimulation drugs are given.

 TB Spine or Pott’s disease Tuberculosis of the spine known as Pott’s disease is an infection of the spine by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis .

Infection seen in other parts of the body before infecting the spine.Primarily seen in the lungs,GI tract and lymph node.

Patients present with pain in the back with fever, extreme weight loss and loss of appetite.

History of trauma may be present.

Spinal TB is the most common of all the skeletal tuberculosis.

It causes the disks to breakdown which eventually leads to narrowing of the vertebra and collapse of the spine Neural deficit is of slow onset, the earliest symptom may be twitching of muscles in the lower limbs and clumsiness while walking, can cause permanent neurosurgery problems and severe spinal deformities.

Lumbar surgery refers to any type of surgery in the lumbar spine, or lower back, between one and more of the L1-S1 levels.

There are two general types of lumbar spine surgery that comprise the most common surgical procedures for the lower back: Lumbar Decompression The goal of decompression surgery is usually to relieve pain caused by nerve root pinching.

There are two common causes of lumbar nerve root pressure: from a lumbar disc which is herniated or stenosis of the lumbar spine.

Decompression surgery involves removing a small a portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.

The most common types of decompression surgery are microdiscectomy and laminectomy which was explained earlier There are also a few alternatives available to the above two standard procedures, such as an X-STOP which is a possible option instead of a laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis.Lumbar Fusion The goal of a lumbar fusion is to stop the pain at a painful motion segment in the lower back.

Most commonly, this type of surgery is performed for pain and disability caused by lumbar degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis.

Are you doubtful about the IVF success and worried about the financial burden caused by the treatment?Many couples undergo repeated IVF cycles.

However, the outcome is not always successful.

The cause of the failure may be due to multiple reasons.

Diagnosing the root cause is what makes all the difference.

At the IVF centers, the treatment is started only after a thorough checkup and then given a customized treatment plan to each couple, thus increasing the chances of success of the fertility treatment

 Excess sugar isn’t always sweet.

It makes the body vulnerable to infections and other disorders.

The pancreas of the human body produces a hormone called insulin that metabolises excess sugars or glucose from the body cells.

Diabetes or hyperglycemia occurs when there is too much sugar consumption than the insulin produced, or there is reduced production or no production of insulin.

Gestational diabetes is another form of diabetes that occurs only in pregnant women during the gestational period of 9 months and resolves once the baby is delivered.

In females, diabetes interferes with ovulation and can be the cause for PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) caused due to insulin resistance and irregular menstrual cycles.

 The ‘head and neck’ region refers to the area above the collar bone.

The tongue, voice box, nose, eyes, thyroid gland, parotid gland and many other vital organs lie in the this region, all of which are connected in a complex network.

Cancers of this area tend to have complex symptoms and spread patterns.

40% to 50% of all Indian cancers are of the Head and Neck.

Of these, 70% of linked to the use of tobacco and are therefore totally preventable.

The good news is that due to their location in sensitive and highly visible areas, they are fairly easy to identify and diagnose early.

Kyphoplasty Are you a woman over 50 with a sudden onset of back pain, you may have a spinal fracture.

Osteoporosis often causes vertebral compression that leads to the collapse of the vertebra resulting in fracture.

Patients suffering from this lose bone mass overtime which makes the spine weak and unable to bear the body weight, Patients start experiencing severe back pain and there is a noticable loss of height.

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are the most effective minimally invasive procedures for the elderly.

Kyphoplasty is a procedure done to rectify vertebral compression fractures of the spine.

A special instrument with a deflated baloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra and carefully inflated to create a space, the instrument is removed and the space created by the balloon is filled with bone cement which hardens quickly, this procedure helps strengthening, reshaping and stabilizing the vertebra.

Endometrial tissues normally line the inner wall of the uterus but in this condition may grow outside of the uterine wall, such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvis, and in worse cases in the intestine, rectum, bladder, vagina, etc.

Other symptoms include: Pain with intercourse, pain with bowel movements or urination, excessive bleeding and you may experience fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or nausea, especially during menstrual periods.

The endometrial tissue present elsewhere, outside the uterus, also grows and bleeds every month, like normal menstruation.

This results in collection of menstrual blood in the ovary, pelvis, bladder, etc.

The blood collected causes irritation of surrounding tissue, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions which causes organs to bind with each other.

Endometriosis can result in infertility when there are lesions in the fallopian tubes that cause blockages, preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
