Infertility and IVF treatments from Medicus in Norway
When it comes to fertility treatment it pays to choose someone you can trust. At Medicus, they offer only internationally recognised fertility treatment procedures that have been proven effective, maximizing your chances of successful conception.
IVF treatment is the standard procedure when the cause of infertility is tubal damage or ovulation problems in the woman, mild to moderate impairment of semen quality in the male or some other unexplained cause.
At Medicus they believe in a more natural ‘mild-IVF’ process. Working with your body’s natural cycle reduces the need for costly and potentially damaging medications and creates better, healthier embryos. This modern technique has been proven safer and at least as successful.
ICSI is similar to conventional IVF treatment, but with a greater amount of laboratory work required. Instead of mixing eggs and sperm, a single sperm is injected directly into the egg, further increasing the chances of conception in the event of impaired semen quality. ICSI is a method normally used when the man has severely impaired sperm quality, or when normal IVF treatment has failed to ensure a successful fertilisation of the woman’s egg.
Low sperm count is a common problem that may be caused by a blockage that prevents sperm entering the semen (obstructive azoospermia) or because the production of sperm is so impaired that they do not come out of the testicular tissue (non-obstructive azoospermia). In both cases, the sperm must be retrieved, either from the epididymis or testicular tissue. This is achieved via one of three techniques: PESA, TESA and TESE.
Medicus also offer insemination and IVF with donor sperm. They have partnered with Cryos International Sperm Bank in Denmark, which is part of the world's largest international network of sperm banks. They have the world's largest selection of sperm donors and they ship donor semen to clinics and private customers in more than 65 countries all over the world.
If fertility treatment results in more good embryos (fertilised eggs) than required as part of IVF or ICSI treatment, they can be frozen and reintroduced to the womb at a later date. This is called FER (Frozen Embryo Replacement) or FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer). Following an unsuccessful cycle you are then able try again while avoiding the need for a new complete treatment cycle involving stimulation and egg retrieval.
