Ideal fertility : ICSI / IVF & Genetic Center India

Dear Colleges
Hello

In this issue we are discussing one topic that is use of tubal flushing in infertility treatment.
We are running few courses for biotechnology student who are in their bachelor or post graduate training in their colleges. It is our tenth consecutive course. It benefits the student to a great extent in the manner that they have an orientation of understanding human genetics and its application in practical life , the basics of cell culture technology and basics of embryology. Lots of our students achieved good success after attending this summer course.

Last month we conducted our first course of fetal medicine and genetics module ,which was attended by an embryologist from Bill Roth Hospital , Chennai. It was quite successful. If you feel the content of the course is good ,then I request you to send the students you come across.

I wish you all the best ,

Sincerely Yours
Dr. D’Pankar Banerji

1. Tubal flushing for sub fertility

Eggs travel from ovaries through fallopian tubes to reach the uterus (womb). If there is a blockage it may not be possible for the woman to conceive. The tubes can be tested by 'flushing' them with dye or medium (liquid) that will show up during laparoscopy (keyhole examination) or hysterosalpingogram (x-ray). The review of trials found some evidence that tubal flushing with oil-soluble media can increase women's chances of pregnancy, and this might be better than using water-based media. However, more research is needed, particularly to work out the mechanism through which oil-soluble media enhance fertility. Rather than a simple 'tubal flushing', this might be an effect inside the pelvic cavity near the ovary that influences the environment in which eggs grow, or an effect on the inner lining of the womb that improves the chance of en embryo implanting and establishing a pregnancy.
