A good wind is coming for couples affected by fertility disorders. The tendency is to make a medical tourism abroad to have a child through in vitro fertilization (IVF). An obstetrician gynecologist, Dr. Rakotobe Andriamaro has the idea to import this practice in the month of October. He will be surrounded by specialists including the Italian doctor Leonardo Formigli who has carried out more than six thousand assisted reproduction procedures.

For a first, women with bilateral obstruction of the fallopian tubes, ovariectomy and early menopause are solicited. So they need male fertility. The reproduction will be done in a clinic in Ivato, equipped by these foreign specialists. Prior to insemination, clinical examinations will be mandatory for any effective candidate. "IVF does not tolerate bacterial presence and/or genital infection, so it is necessary to make a whole patient preparation, as well as the ultrasound monitoring of the production of the follicles by the woman," Dr. Rakotobe Andriamaro said, during interview yesterday, Tuesday, August 6.

At the cost of 8,637,000 of ariary, embryo transfer is forty-eight hours after fertilization of oocytes and sperm. "Dr. Leonardo is a specialist in the collection of oocytes in women. Afterwards, Professor SAFA Al-Hasani made fertilization and monitored the evolution of the embryo. After forty-eight hours, Dr. Leonardo made the embryo transfer into the woman's uterus. I will be in charge of monitoring the pregnancy of this one, "assures the obstetrician gynecologist Rakotobe Andriamaro.

According to him, a candidate can carry a maximum of three embryos. So she'll give birth to tripled.

If there are still other em ¬ bryons, these will be kept in liquid nitrogen and the couple will be able to use them later. Sure that IVF is not yet governed by a law in the country, these gynaecologists plan to do so three times a year. In December, the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is also in sight, in favour of men whose sperm cells do not have the ability to procreate.
