Laser Assisted Hatching

Laser Assisted Hatching

Overview

Laser-assisted hatching treatment is an easy treatment technique that is used in in-vitro fertilization (IVF). This technique is used to provide treatment to parents suffering from infertility problems. LAH helps embryos hatch from their zona pellucida. It involves the use of a laser to create a small opening in the zona pellucida. The zona pellucida is the outer layer that protects embryos hatch, normally dissolved and thinned by the time the embryo is ready to implant in the uterus. But in some cases, zona pellucida may be too thick making it difficult for the embryo to hatch.

The Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH)treatment is usually recommended for females who have embryos with a thick zona pellucida or have had failed IVF cycles. Aside from this, LAH may also be recommended to women with specific medical conditions, such as a history of recurrent miscarriage or endometriosis.

Laser-assisted hatching treatment is recommended for women with certain factors that make it difficult for the embryos to hatch, such as:

  • Advanced maternal age

  • A history of failed IVF cycles

  • A thick zona pellucida

  • Endometriosis

  • A history of recurrent miscarriage

If you are one of those with the above-mentioned conditions and considering Laser-Assisted Hatching, it is important to talk to the Laser Assisted Hatching specialist at the top laser-assisted hatching treatment center in Gurgaon to know about the success rate of the laser-assisted hatching because the above-mentioned health conditions may affect the success rates of laser-assisted hatching (LAH) treatment.

Laser-assisted hatching (LAH) treatment procedure is performed at the blastocyst stage when the embryo is about 5 days old. It is done in an IVF laboratory under a microscope. To create a small opening in the zona pellucida, the embryologist involves the use of a laser. To minimize the risk of damage to the embryo, the size of the opening is completely and carefully controlled. The embryo is then transferred back to the uterus of the woman.

The procedure of Laser-Assisted Hatching takes a few minutes and involves the following steps:

  • The embryologist will select the embryo for hatching.

  • After that, the embryo will be placed in a culture dish.

  • To create a small opening in the zona pellucida, the laser will be used.

  • After that, the embryo will be examined to make sure that the opening is perfect, which means it is not too large or too small.

  • The embryo will then be transferred to the uterus of the female.

Here are some things you can do in consulting with your doctor to prepare yourself for Laser-Assisted Hatching:

  • Follow the instructions of your doctor carefully regarding the medications and activities.

  • Manage your stress level.

A female with certain factors that may make it difficult for her embryos to hatch is the right candidate for laser-assisted hatching (LAH).

The certain factors are mentioned below:

  • Age: A female of age more than 35 years is the right candidate for LAH because she is more likely to have embryos with a thick zona pellucida.

  • History of failed IVF cycles: A female with a history of failed IVF cycles is the right candidate for LAH because her embryos are not hatching properly.

  • Thick zona pellucida: A female who has too thick or rigid zona pellucida is the right candidate for LAH because a thick or rigid zona may make it difficult to hatch the embryo.

  • Endometriosis: A female with Endometriosis is the right candidate for LAH because this condition can affect the lining of the uterus and make it difficult for embryos to implant.

  • Recurrent miscarriage: A female who has experienced recurrent miscarriages is the right candidate for LAH because the embryos of that female are not hatching properly.

It is not necessary, every woman with the above-mentioned factors is the right candidate for Laser-Assisted Hatching Treatment (LAH). So, it is important to consult the laser-assisted hatching specialist in Gurgaon to confirm whether you are the right candidate for the Laser-Assisted Hatching treatment or not.

Here are some of the advantages of laser-assisted hatching (LAH) :

  • Increased chances of implantation: It may increase the possibility of an embryo implanting in the uterus. Because LAH makes it easier for the embryo to hatch from its zona pellucida.

  • Increased chances of pregnancy: It may increase the chances of pregnancy.

  • Reduced risk of miscarriage: It helps in reducing the risk of miscarriage.

  • Minimal handling of the embryo: This minimally invasive procedure does not require much handling of the embryo. So there is less risk of any damage to the embryo.

  • Quick control over the drilling of the shell opening: It is used to create a very precise opening in the zona pellucida so it helps in improving the chance of successful implantation.

  • It is gentle and safe, with no negative effects on the embryo: The procedure of LAH is safe and gentle because it precisely creates a very small opening in the zona pellucida and minimizes the risk of damage to the embryo.

You may experience some symptoms that may go away within a few days such as:

  • Mild cramping

  • Bleeding

  • Bloating or fullness in the abdomen

  • Fatigue

The cost of laser-assisted hatching(LAH) treatment in every city varies depending on several factors such as the location and reputation of the clinic, the experience of the doctor or embryologist performing the procedure, the type of laser used, the number of embryos that need to be hatched, medications and diagnostic tests. It is important to discuss with the doctor about the LAH cost so that you can get an idea of the actual cost of the LAH procedure.

If you are considering the LAH treatment in Gurgaon, then you should contact the top Laser Assisted Hatching Treatment Centre for the exact Laser assisted hatching cost in Gurgaon.

Laser-assisted hatching treatment(LAH) is a relatively safe procedure, but there are some risks involved, including:

  • Embryo Damage: The laser-assisted hatching can potentially damage the embryo's cells or DNA if not done with proper care.

  • Infection: There is a very small chance of risk of infection from the LAH.

  • Increased Likelihood of Twins: LAH treatment may increase the chance of having twins

The risks of this Laser-assisted hatching treatment are usually considered to be outweighed by the potential benefits. However, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the procedure before deciding whether it is right for you.

After the procedure of Laser-Assisted Hatching Treatment, specific care and precautions should be taken to optimize the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. Because specific instructions may vary depending on the individual's condition. So it is advisable to follow the instructions of your fertility specialist.

Here are some general guidelines that you may follow after the procedure of Laser-Assisted Hatching:

  • Avoid strenuous activity for a few days after the procedure.

  • Get plenty of rest.

  • Follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding taking or avoiding certain medications and certain activities.

  • Manage your stress level.

  • Eat healthy food.

  • Stay well-hydrated.

  • Avoid smoking, and drinking alcohol.

  • Minimize caffeine consumption.

  • Avoid sexual activities for at least 2 days after embryo transfer.
