Dr Bulut works in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the high-tech Liv Hospital in Istanbul. He is coming to Bulgaria at the invitation of Zvezdelina Lütfi, manager of the Medical Karadži Health Information Center, as part of their initiative to provide Bulgarian patients with access to the most advanced methods in medicine by partnering with some of the best medical institutions and specialists from around the world in each medical field.
Infertility and chances of getting pregnant
85% of couples were able to achieve pregnancy within the first year of deciding to take such a step. The proportion reaches 93% in the second year. The remainder are considered to have a fertility problem and need the help of assisted reproductive techniques. The problem of infertility affects 15-20% of the world population.
The most important factor in the success rate of IVF treatment is a woman's age and her ovarian reserve. The number and quality of eggs decreases severely in women over the age of 38, and over 40 the chance of pregnancy decreases to 30% even with the help of in vitro fertilization.
Modern methods for high success rates
State-of-the-art techniques in the field of in vitro fertilization are applied at Liv Hospital, for higher success rates and healthier offspring. In the well-equipped, high-tech laboratory, all the possibilities of modern medicine are used. Genetic testing is performed, including for couples with repeated failed IVF attempts or miscarriages. Research has shown that chromosomal abnormalities occur significantly more frequently (50-60%) in the embryos of couples with advanced maternal age, failed pregnancies and a pronounced male factor for infertility.
