Benefits of treatment in Spain

Treatment in Spain is chosen by many Europeans and Americans for high level of medicine and lower treatment costs. Doctors work both with adults and children's pathologies (congenital and acquired).

Spanish doctors are recognized as some of the best in the world thanks to their internship exams (this is an internship in a narrow specialty, during which the doctor works as an intern in a specialized department of his field, has additional training in related fields, and is on duty in the emergency room in tandem with experienced doctors).

All Spanish clinics work according to the same system: hospitals are equipped with innovative and use modern techniques for the diagnostics and treatment of the most complex diseases.

Assisted reproduction

Treatment of infertility in Spain is performed by experienced reproductive specialists, who successfully restore childbearing function. Doctors examine women comprehensively to select the most appropriate method.

Spanish doctors guarantee the safety of a woman's health during the procedure.

Treatment methods include:

Artificial insemination
The simplest method, which involves inseminating a woman with her partner's sperm. The patient's ovaries are stimulated and

synchronized with ovulation. The success of the procedure directly depends on the age: it is about 20% for women under 36 years of age, 15% for women aged 37 to 39 years and up to 10% for women aged 40 to 41 years. Doctors do not recommend doing more than four courses, as each time the probability of getting pregnant decreases.

In vitro fertilization (IVF)
The most popular and more complicated method consists of creating an embryo and transferring it into a woman's uterus. This method involves more intensive stimulation of the ovaries.

Scheme:

an egg is extracted from the ovaries by means of a puncture;
in the laboratory the cell is fertilized with the partner's sperm;
the embryo is kept in special conditions in the laboratory for two days, and then it is placed onto the uterine wall.

The success rate of the procedure depends on woman's health and age. The chance of getting pregnant for women under 34 years of age is over 60%, and for those who are older it is less than 30%.

Egg vitrification
An adjunct procedure to an IVF cycle is used if there is a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation or hormonal changes. During the method, embryos are not transferred in the same cycle. It is also done before oncology treatment, if the patient's health condition allows it.

Sperm cryopreservation
The procedure is performed in an IVF cycle, provided the man is unable to provide a sperm sample on his own. It is also possible to do it during a testicular biopsy (provided that the sperm obtained is suitable for use) and before cancer treatment, if the patient's health condition allows it.

Donor eggs
The procedure during which donor eggs are used. It's most commonly used if:

the parents-to-be are of advanced age;
the woman is in early menopause;
poor quality of the mother's eggs;
the use of hormonal medication that enhance the development of the uterine endometrium for embryo attachment.
