What is the egg vitrification about?
Vitrification technique is a relatively new freezing technique based on avoiding the ice crystals formation inside the cells when temperatures below 0 are reached (freezing), therefore, protecting them from their destruction. We can vitrify embryos or eggs.
How long can my eggs remain
frozen without damage?
Once we have vitrified the oocytes, they […]
The inner-most layer of uterus covering the uterine cavity is called the endometrium. It is a dynamic tissue and its characteristics vary throughout the menstrual cycle.
Its most important function is to engage in dialogue with the embryo so that the latter can implant and the uterus can serve as a suitable place for a pregnancy to develop.
There […]
The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that a man has hypospermia when the semen sample he produces when he ejaculates is below 1.5 mL. A semen analysis needs to be performed in order to obtain a diagnosis. This test measures different semen parameters such as the volume of the ejaculate, the number of spermatozoa, sperm mobility and so on.
In order […]
During assisted reproduction treatment, the ova and spermatozoa need to be transported to a laboratory where they are united using one of two methods: conventional in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
During IVF, ova and spermatozoa are brought into close contact so that a spermatozoon can penetrate the ovule ‘naturally’ and generate fertilisation. It is a mainly […]
One of the most exciting times during a treatment of assisted reproductive is the Embryo Transfer. After carrying out all the laboratory processes, microinjection (ICSI) or insemination (IVF) and embryo culture, among others, it is time to transfer the selected embryo.
However at times it is not possible to transfer the
embryo and we must cancel or […]
A hydrocele is the accumulation of fluid in the
testicular covers (in one or both testicles) causing an almost permanent swelling
of the scrotum.
Is not rare in newborns, but they occur more
frequently in adults. In newborns, it disappears in many cases within months of
birth. In adults, in many cases, the cause is not recognized, but in other,
there […]
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines reproductive health as a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being which implies, among other things, the ability of a person to reproduce and the freedom to decide when.
This definition tells us that reproductive health is
not just the absence of a disease. Furthermore, since 2016, the right to
medical […]

The aim of any assisted reproductive treatment ends with embryo transfer. This is the gentle placement of the embryo in the uterine cavity. Is the key moment of the entire procedure, embryologist and gynaecologist working together.
Embryo transfers can be done in a fresh cycle, that is, transferring the embryo after in vitro development in day […]
Reproduction issues always need to be dealt with with a degree of sensitivity. When there is also a disability within the couple, the emotional side of things calls for even greater care and steps should be taken in order to deal adequately with any implications the disability in question has from a medical point of […]
