EveryIVF clinic claims that they are the best and that every patient should come tothem for treatment. Now obviously that just cannot be true that as a clinic youmay be very good at doing something, but that does not mean you are very goodat doing everything and therefore while you might be great for some patientsthat does not mean you are necessarily good for all patients. It is thereforeimportant for patients to remember that every IVF clinic has a special interestand a special need. So, what kind of patients are we the best clinic for andwhat kind of patients are we the wrong clinic for? “Thecheapest clinic are not the worst and the clinics offering the most expensivetreatments are the best.” Basically,what should be kept in mind is that the treatment should be cost effective. Itshould provide you the value for money in the long run… whether you arepurchasing anything or opting for any procedure. Theright treatment, at the right price and that is the place you visit. Dr.Kamini Rao Hospitals is one such place. The best IVF centre in Bangalore, this hospitalhas two branches. This centre does not do unnecessary stuff in order to cheat apatient or in order to rip them off or in order to make more money for themselves.They provide high quality medical care and have a full-time embryologist. Ourservices go beyond IVF… we have so much focus that is what we do an extremelygood job at. IVF is elective treatment, there are lots of options, whounderstand that a doctor is not a mind reader, that a doctor wants to treat apatient with care. Dr. Kamini RaoHospitals wants to invite input from patients, so we can listen to you and tryto then create a treatment plan which is tailored for your interests, notsomething which we think you should do. So we want patients who are assertive,who will do their homework, who will understand what we are doing, why we aredoing, who will understand why success rates are never 100%, will understandwhat is in their hands, what is in the doctor's hands and finally what is innature's hands. Whatyou should be careful of? Thereare such IVF clinics are impersonal, they are assembly line, they use the samestandard copy and paste formula for all their patients, they do not apply theirmind, there is no continuity of care. Sometimes you see one junior doctor,sometimes you see a second junior doctor, sometimes you see the third, there isa lot of churns… you never see the same senior doctor or perhaps you may seehim once at the time of a consultation when he wants you to sign up but you maynever see him again. There is no transparency or openness or accountability.There is absolutely no idea about how many follicles, the size, how many eggs,what your embryo quality is, no embryo photos, nothing at all. And it is onlywhen you learn the hard way that a bad IVF doctor has a higher chance ofresulting in a failed IVF cycle, when you then appreciate what a good IVFdoctor is and then hopefully you will learn the importance of doing yourhomework and not leaving everything up to a doctor. Whatis IVF procedure? For whom should we do this? Usually,empty stomach patients come an hour before we tell them to come in the morning.So, after they come, we give them the instructions. We give them instructionson what medicines to take and how to come. So, we usually call this as a daycare procedure. Day care procedure means, we give them a light anaesthesia andkeep them in a hospital for 4 to 6 hours. Inthis duration, scanning is done using a transvaginal molecule. We introduce theprobe of the scanning and insert a needle. We suck the water bubbles that arevisible in the follicles and take them out. Thefollicles or egg that we want to produce is a media, a culture media. From hereon, we will require the help of an embryologist. The embryologists check thequality of the eggs and how to inject sperm. They decide and give us a finalcount. Afterwe get the eggs, we get a count of the number of oocytes. So, on the same day,when the husband gives the sperm sample, the embryologists clean it and processit. They inject a healthy sperm into each egg like a needle. Theydo the ICSI procedure. When the embryologists do IVF, they leave around 1000 to1 million sperm in each egg. This is done for IVF. After3 days, the embryologists assess the quality of the sperm. After 3 days, theycheck the formation of the embryo. They check the quality of the embryo and thegrade of the embryo. Theembryologists then give you a detailed account of the embryo. So, this is howegg pickup and IVF are done. IVFTreatment Cost in Bangalore Generally,common people think that this is a very costly treatment. And many patientscome to us who say that there is a lot of confusion. · Because many centres charge Rs. 50,000 to Rs.80,000 · In many centres, this expense is Rs. 1.5 toRs. 2 lakhs · The first is the expense of hospital · The second is the expense of injections Injections are given to women to lay eggs. Before starting IVF, the husband and wife has to undergo couple of procedures. When the eggs are ready, then the egg retrieval, ie the process of removing the eggs. During that, the ward charges, the OT charges are included in this. When the eggs are removed, the woman is made unconscious for 10 minutes. All the media and disposables used are included in this. All the media and disposables used are also included. And the process of embryo transfer, ie on the day of embryo transplant. The ward charges and OT charges are included on that day. Now the second is the expense of injections. The dose of the injections depends on the age of the woman, her AMH value, ie the quality of her eggs and her weight, ie her BMI. So some women can take 8, 10 or 12 injections. How many types of injections are there? · The first is Urinary. This injection is prepared from the urine of the women whose menstruation has stopped. These are a little cheaper injection. In this, you understand that the cost of one injection is around Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 2,500. But, If we give this injection to someone, then it is a very painful injection. It can cause rashes or allergic reactions. And the most important thing is that the quality of the eggs and the quality of the embryo is not that good. So according to that, the success rate of IVF is also not that good. · The second category is highly purified. These are better injections. In these injections, the number of impurities is less. And their cost is around Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 4,500 for one injection. · The third injection is made from recombinant DNA technology. These are considered the best injections. Because the quality of the eggs and their number is very good. And the number is also high. In this, the success rate of IVF, which depends on the quality of the embryo, increases. In this, the cost of one injection is around Rs. 8,000. If you consider the roundabout, then if you categorize it according to the age of the woman and her BMI, then we can consider it as an expense of Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 90,000. So, if we look at one IVF cycle, it costs around Rs. 1.25 lakh. So, in this way, we saw and understood that in one IVF cycle, most of the expenses are used in injections.
