The miracle of conception involves an intimate union between the ova and spermatozoon, appropriate evolution of the fertilised embryo and, furthermore, an ideal environment inside the uterus so that implantation can take place. Whilst this process might seem simple, it is much more complex than we might think, particularly in human beings. Only 30% of our conceptions end in […]
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome – or simply MRKH syndrome – is a congenital disorder (birth defect), the main characteristic of which is that the women who suffer from it do not have a uterus.
The cause of this infrequent condition (1 in 5,000 female births) is an abnormality during development of the internal genitalia during the embryo/foetus stage. As well as an […]
If we take into account that women’s oocytes develop before they are even born and that, after birth, the oocytes progressively decrease in number until they run out completely when women reach the menopause, the concept of ovarian reserve refers to the oocytes that are in a woman’s ovaries at any given time.
Assessing ovarian reserve is particularly important if […]
Nutrition is one of the factors that need to be taken into account in endometriosis. We are aware that the pathology is linked to abnormalities in immunity that cause chronic inflammation. Therefore, the patient’s diet can have an impact on when it occurs, how it progresses and the symptoms it causes.
We
know that certain foods have an […]
I’m pregnant. What foods should I avoid eating? – Instituto Bernabeu
During pregnancy, the future mother experiences a number of hormonal changes. It is also very important to be aware of nutritional requirements since they can vary throughout gestation.
It is important to follow a balanced diet that has been adapted to the woman’s new circumstances so that both the […]
Oocytes are particularly sensitive to cryopreservation processes since they have a number of characteristics that adversely affect their survival. However, improvements to cryopreservation techniques in ova banks through the use of vitrification have made it possible to achieve survival rates that are comparable to those obtained in fresh cycles.
For a number of reasons, pursuing an efficient […]
Most women of a childbearing age have, on occasion, experienced bleeding when they are not menstruating. This is a very common occurrence and it does not necessarily mean that the woman has a health issue.
Why do women experience
this type of bleeding?
The reasons for bleeding of this kind are usually linked to issues with ovulation, administration of hormonal […]
The ‘implantation window’ is the name we give to the period of time during which the endometrium in the mother’s uterus is in an appropriate state for embryo implantation to take place.
Implantation is a critical and very precise process during which the embryo makes contact with and penetrates the endometrial tissue in the mother, making gestation possible. This […]
Mumps rubalavirus leads to an illness during infancy that is commonly known as mumps and that can, in some cases, affect male fertility and lead to male fertility issues.
In cases such as these, the illness can affect the testes by
between 25 and 40% and this poses an added complication. This condition is
known as orchitis.
It mainly affects boys over […]
Culture mediums used during embryo development in in vitro fertilisation (IVF) laboratories are crucial to the exit of assisted reproduction treatment of any kind. Culture mediums have the mission of reproducing the physiological conditions inside the female reproductive system as closely as possible, embracing fertilisation up until embryo implantation in the endometrium.
In order for implantation to take place during […]
