Every woman or couple who gets pregnant worries about the possibility of genetic defects or congenital deformities. Technological advances today enable doctors to obtain a genetic diagnosis prior to implantation of sperm or eggs prior to fertilization, known as PGD, or a pre-implantation genetic diagnosis.

Individuals undergoing the expensive, time consuming, and often emotionally vulnerable process of in-vitro or artificial insemination are utilizing such technology in order to improve pregnancy rates and reduce miscarriages. In most cases, PGD diagnostics are utilized in combination with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection).

Treatments with drugs or medications are usually the first step, in an effort to try and stimulate and induce ovulation. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is generally the next step in the infertility treatment process, also known as artificial insemination. Next often comes in vitro fertilization. This involves placement of an already fertilized egg into the woman’s uterus for implantation.

The cost of fertility treatments prohibit many couples from seeking treatments, but these days, many foreign destinations offer fertility programs that are affordable and effective. In the United States, the PGD and process costs approximately $4,000 to $7,000, which does not include the cost of the in-vitro fertilization procedure, which may cost approximately $12,000 for several attempts at a viable pregnancy.

Fertility facilities such as Jinemed Hospital in Istanbul, Central Europe charge an average of $4,000 for a cycle of in-vitro fertilization, while facilities in Thailand offer the same services for about $4,500. The cost of PGD in such destinations saves couples thousands of dollars.

A mere decade ago, medical tourism was not taken very seriously. Much the same way as online schooling or dating, the thought of traveling across borders for medical care was scoffed at. Today, online schools provide accredited educations for millions of students, and online dating has become a norm. No longer is medical tourism thought to be only for people desperate for cheap medical procedures.

Today, medical tourism is the booming and growing industry. Individuals seeking cosmetic dental treatment, plastic surgery specialists, treatment for cancer, custom Lasik eye surgery, fertility treatment abroad, bariatric surgery centers, cardiac bypass surgery, or orthopedic surgeons may find excellent, highly trained, and world-class surgeons, procedures, and facilities around the world.

Medical tourism is not a joke. It has turned into a multibillion dollar industry that continues to grow. Medical destinations are not limited to Mexico or Southeast Asia, but may be found today throughout Switzerland, South Africa, and the Middle East, from Croatia to Guatemala to South Korea.

Treatments for stem cell based therapy, chronic disease treatment, joint replacement surgeries, professional skin care, and plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries are available in facilities that are JCI (Joint Commissions International) accredited or certified by international accreditation organizations.

Facilities such as the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, or the Jordan Hospital, in Amman, Jordan are just two of such facilities. Facilities and organizations such as the Wooridul Spine Hospital in Seoul, South Korea to Surgical Bliss in Cape Town, South Africa offer medical travelers today state of the art technologies, highly trained physicians and surgeons as well as world-class facilities for a variety of medical care options that also offers affordability and convenience for medical patients.

Fertility is a problem that affects many couples trying to get pregnant. The inability to conceive may cause emotional distress on many couples, but there are fertility treatments and procedures that may enhance your ability to have a child.

 

In the United States, fertility treatments may cost more than a couple can afford, but affordable infertility treatments and procedures are available around the world. Many such facilities are reliable, certified and accredited by domestic and international accrediting organizations like the JCI.

 

Facilities such as CEGYR, or Fertility Argentina, offer multiple methods of IVF treatments, while Jinemed Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey specializes in IVF, ICSI, PGD, IVM and Ovarian Cortex Freezing methods. Dr. Osama Badran, MD, FACOG, specializes in laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of conditions that may contribute to infertility in his practice in Amman, Jordan.

 

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is more commonly known as Artificial Insemination.  Medication is given to a woman at a fertility treatment center to stimulate multiple egg development. Insemination, or insertion of sperm from the male partner, into the uterus usually increases chances of fertilization.

 

In vitro fertilization is a method that assists reproduction through the union of a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm in a laboratory dish. After fertilization has occurred, the embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus for implantation and development of a normal pregnancy process. 

 

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a fertility treatment that has been used since the early 1990s, most often with couples where male factors such as low sperm count or poor sperm quality. The process involves the injection of a sperm directly into a mature egg.

Studies have shown that infertility affects more than 6 million couples a year in the United States alone. Women suffering from ovulation difficulties, damage to uterine organs and other problems that prevent pregnancy benefit from fertilization treatments. Men suffering from infertility caused by low sperm counts or damage to reproductive organs also benefit from treatments. 

 

Some fertility treatment methods require cycles or multiple attempts throughout the process. For example, intrauterine insemination (IUI) in the United States may cost between $300- $800 per attempt. Multiple attempts may be necessary for success. The most successful fertilization process in the United States, in vitro fertilization (IVF), is also one of the most expensive, and may cost between $8,000-$10,000 per attempt, in addition to medication, which may cost over $2,000.

 

Infertility treatment abroad is growing in popularity and demand. Medical travelers to foreign destinations such as Mexico, South America, India, and Thailand and Turkey can save thousands, up to 75% of costs in the U.S. The best IUI in Turkey, the best IVF in Thailand, and the best infertility doctors in Argentina are out there. Popular destinations that treat infertility such as:

 

·         InteraFertility in Guadalajara, Mexico

·         Infertility Support Center in Tbilisi, Georgia  

·         Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan

·         Jinemed in Istanbul, Turkey

 

Lower costs in foreign destinations are not due to sub-standard care or training – quite the opposite. Lower costs are enjoyed because other countries don’t have to deal with the rising and often prohibitive costs of medical malpractice insurance that is rampant within the healthcare industry in the United States. Therefore, medical providers in other countries are able to perform such treatments, procedures and surgeries at huge savings to their patients.

IUI, also known as intrauterine insemination is a popular and effective fertility treatment for millions of women around the world. While a variety of factors need to be considered before a woman undergoes artificial insemination techniques, including age and reason for infertility (if it can be determined), intrauterine insemination is an ideal solution for women who can still ovulate but may be dealing with male factor infertility, early menopause, or tubal blockage or damage.

Any woman or couple unable to conceive a child after two years of trying is an excellent candidate for the minimally invasive intrauterine insemination procedure. Couples dealing with fallopian tube blockages, low sperm counts, low quality sperm counts or other medical conditions that prevent conception will benefit from an attempt to artificially inseminate male sperm into the uterus.

Women or couples seeking treatment and medical destinations such as Turkey may save hundreds of dollars on the procedure, while travelers to Latin American destinations such as Mexico and Argentina may save up to 70% of treatment and drug costs. Such savings are not due to lack of quality, technology, or training, but reflect lower medical malpractice insurance premiums, different healthcare systems and management practices in foreign countries.

Fertility Argentina, located in Buenos Aires and Cedyt, located in Bariloche are examples of two patient focused and high-tech fertility treatment centers in Argentina.  Jinemed Hospital, located in Istanbul, Turkey, has nearly 20 years of infertility treatment experience, and Acibadem Healthcare Group, also located in Istanbul, is a JCI accredited private healthcare facility.

Affordable, quality, and effective fertility treatments utilizing intrauterine insemination techniques and technology provide hope for millions of couples and women around the world who have difficulty conceiving.

A failure to become pregnant is cause for concern for thousands of couples. Undergoing physical exams and fertility workups by a health care provider may eventually lead to fertility treatments. In some cases, uterine malformations, as well as conditions like endometriosis, adhesions, and fibroids may make it difficult for couples to conceive. Lack of ability to conceive is not just a feminine problem, but may affect males as well. A large number of fertility treatments are available to treat of wide variety of causes and issues that result in lack of conception.

 

Common fertility treatments include Clomid treatments, Ovulation Induction (OI), In vitro fertilization (IVF), Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and Intrauterine insemination (IUI). The development of new techniques and methods to help couples become pregnant has generated thousands of successful treatments and pregnancies for formally childless couples. Women suffering from ovulation difficulties, damage to uterine organs and other problems that prevent pregnancy benefit from fertilization treatments. Men suffering from infertility caused by low sperm counts or damage to reproductive organs also benefit from treatments.

 

Some of the best infertility treatment facilities around the world can be found in South America, such as Fertility Argentina, which offer assisted reproduction techniques, IVF (with or without ICSI), and egg donation. Fertility Argentina is also known as CEGYR (Centro de Estudios en Ginecología y Reproduccíon/Center of Studies in Gynecology and Reproduction) is located in beautiful Buenos Aires offers the best in care and quality.

Because of the complexity of the female reproductive system, it’s common for most fertility problems to be found there. However, fertility problems are just as often found in males as females, and require a different approach when it comes to therapies and treatments to provide optimal fertility treatment for conception. That’s where ICSI comes in.

ICSI stands for intracytoplasmic sperm injection – also known as an Assisted Reproductive Technology. This fertility treatment also employs IVF (in vitro fertilization) by injecting sperm into a mature egg for development.

Following the fertilization procedure, the egg is placed into the mother’s womb or fallopian tube for implantation.

ICSI is a popular treatment for men whose sperm count is too low or inadequate to ensure fertilization of eggs.

Unfortunately, the cost of this procedure in a fertility treatment center in the US can cost between $10,000 and $17,000 for a single cycle of fertility treatment. Medical travelers to destinations like India can get the same treatments for much less, in the range of about $1,200 per cycle. You can do the math.

In places like Hungary, fertility treatment abroad can be found for an average of $6,600. In Mexico, South America or Thailand destinations, medical travelers may save up to 75% on costs.

Lower prices don’t mean substandard care or service – quite the contrary. Physicians and surgeons in foreign countries are able to pay one-tenth the cost of medical insurance than that found in the U.S., passing the savings on to patients.

Fertility problems are often approached with noninvasive procedures, such as Clomid treatments, fertility treatment drugs designed to help stimulate and induce ovulation. Clomiphene titrate is successful in about 80% of women who experienced ovulation difficulties, although it may be less effective in older or heavy women.

Women who suffer from fertility problems during the ovulation process or during follicle development and ovulation are often good candidates for Ovulation Induction (OI). In this treatment, follicle-stimulating hormones are prescribed that help to stimulate follicle development and eggs within the ovary.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is more commonly known as Artificial Insemination. Medication is given to a woman at a fertility treatment center to stimulate multiple egg development. Insemination, or insertion of sperm from the male partner, into the uterus usually increases chances of fertilization.

In vitro fertilization is a method that assists reproduction through the union of a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm in a laboratory dish. After fertilization has occurred, the embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus for implantation and development of a normal pregnancy process.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a fertility treatment that has been used since the early 1990s, most often with couples where male factors such as low sperm count or poor sperm quality. The process involves the injection of a sperm directly into a mature egg.

Global fertility treatment center facilities such as Dr. Rama’s Institute for Fertility in India, or Superior A.R.T. in Bangkok, Thailand, are popular. In addition to opportunities for exotic travel, state-of-the-art facilities, expertly trained staff offer compassionate, knowledable and experienced care for couples around the world.

Unfortunately, the enormous cost of fertility treatment drugs and procedures often prohibits desperate couples from seeking fertility problems. Today however, finding a fertility treatment center or fertility treatment abroad offers not only hope for these couples, but affordable and effective results.

In the U.S. fertility treatment drugs are cost prohibitive for many. It may cost between $300 and $800 per treatment for intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedures, which may not seem like much until you realize that couples often need multiple treatments. Costs for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the U.S. may range between $8,000 and $10,000 for each attempt.

Traveling to a fertility treatment center abroad, such as Mexico, South America, India, and Thailand saves couples up to 75% of costs in the U.S. A few popular fertility clinics abroad include:

· Almater Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico

· Superior A.R.T. in Bangkok, Thailand

· Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan

· Medical Sense Group in Sao Paulo, Brazil

In the United States, over 5 million couples deal with fertility problems. However, these days, many couples have been helped through advancements in technology, both at home and abroad.

Lower costs in foreign destinations are not due to sub-standard care or training. Lower costs for fertility problems abroad are enjoyed because other countries don’t have to deal with prohibitive costs of medical malpractice insurance common within the healthcare industry in the United States. Today, couples can take advantage of choice when it comes to a fertility treatment center located in countries around the world.
