CURIOUS ABOUT IVF IN THE PANDEMIC
Turkey Medicals member and Antalya Obstetrics and IVF Specialist Prof. Doctor shaved explained: although there are limited data, the corona virus does not affect the pregnancy process.
Studies conducted so far have shown that Covid-19 most likely does not have a direct transition from mother to child. No virus was found in Babies – Baby placentas or breast milk. Although there is limited data, the corona virus does not affect the pregnancy process. Can IVF treatment be done in this process? Is there a risk for couples? Here’s Prof. Dr. answers to these questions…
.
IF THE TREATMENT IS INCOMPLETE
As long as the expectant parents are not Covid-19 in Turkey and comply with the precautions, they can undergo IVF treatment. He can continue his unfinished treatment. When it is called incomplete treatment, it should be taken into account what stage it is actually at. If the patient’s embryo creation phase was completed, the embryo freezing process was performed in the pandemic. Now treatment within the Protocols of these patients will continue.
Prof. Dr. “If measures are taken, the treatment process does not pose a risk,” he said.
.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?
During the epidemic, there were those who became pregnant, continued pregnancy, and gave birth. Natural life processes continue in some way. The rules, which are strongly emphasized by the Ministry of health, naturally also apply to IVF patients. Couples should pay close attention to the mask, distance and hygiene. If couples who want to have children pay attention to these points, all these measures reduce the risk of transmission of the virus. The treatment process also does not pose a risk.
After measuring the fever of patients, the questionnaire is filled out. If the risk is seen, a swab sample is taken and sent to the Health Department if it is Covid-19 and treatment is started in accordance with the response within 1-2 days – delayed or not started. On the other hand, studies conducted so far have not found findings of Covid-19 virus in women, especially in the uterus and vaginal discharge.
.
HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED FOR PATIENTS COMING FROM ABROAD?
There are no restrictions on couples coming to Turkey from abroad to have babies. Only the last Covid-19 negative test they had was requested. These people can begin their treatment without being quarantined.
