Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) in Faridabad

Overview

Ovum Pick Up (OPU) is an essential step in the IVF process, where mature eggs are carefully collected from a woman’s ovaries. This procedure is vital for those seeking to conceive through assisted reproductive technologies (ART). At Medfin in Bangalore, we ensure this procedure is performed with precision and care, using the latest technology and the expertise of our fertility specialists to maximize your chances of a successful outcome.

When is Ovum Pick Up (OPU) Recommended?

Ovum Pick Up is typically recommended for women undergoing IVF or other fertility treatments in Bangalore, particularly when:

• Egg Retrieval for IVF: You need to retrieve eggs for fertilization outside the body.
• Ovulation Issues: There are challenges with natural ovulation, or you want to improve egg quality.
• Male Infertility: Male infertility factors make natural conception difficult.
• Unsuccessful Previous Treatments: Previous fertility treatments have not resulted in a successful pregnancy.

How to Prepare for Ovum Pick Up (OPU)

At Medfin Bangalore, we guide you through every step to ensure you’re fully prepared for Ovum Pick Up:

• Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal injections are administered to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
• Regular Monitoring: We conduct frequent ultrasounds and blood tests to monitor your hormone levels and the growth of follicles.
• Trigger Shot: About 36 hours before the procedure, you’ll receive a trigger shot to mature the eggs.

Pre-Procedure Guidelines: You may be advised to fast for a few hours before your appointment at Medfin in Bangalore.

How Ovum Pick Up (OPU) is Performed

At Medfin Bangalore, your comfort and safety are our top priorities during the OPU procedure:

• Ultrasound Guidance: We use transvaginal ultrasound to visualize your ovaries and guide the needle to the follicles.
• Egg Collection: A fine needle is gently inserted through the vaginal wall to retrieve the eggs from the ovaries.
• Quick Processing: The eggs are immediately placed in a nutrient-rich medium and handed over to our experienced embryologist for further processing.

Risks of Ovum Pick Up (OPU)

While Ovum Pick Up at Medfin is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential risks:

• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): In rare cases, excessive ovarian stimulation can lead to OHSS, requiring medical attention.
• Infection Risk: There’s a small risk of infection at the needle insertion site, but we follow strict hygiene protocols to minimize this risk.

Minor Bleeding: Some bleeding may occur at the needle site, but it usually resolves on its own without any complications.
