Causes of infertility

Male factors:
• Hypogonadism.
• Poor sperm quality/low volume of sperm.
• Blocked sperm tube.
• Varicocele.
• Genetic Diseases.
• Underlying disease.

Female Factors:
• Hypogonadism.
• Anovulation.
• Blocked Fallopian tube or a fascia membrane in the pelvic region.

The Fertility Center is fully equipped and ready to provide treatment with different fertility technologies, including
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
The simplest, least invasive and least expensive form of treatment, IUI involves placing the father’s sperm into the mother’s uterus during her ovulation. A semen sample is processed in the lab to separate good quality sperm from the seminal fluid, maximizing the number of sperm cells that are placed in the uterus and therefore the chances of conception.

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
With IVF, fertilization of the female egg by the male sperm occurs outside the woman’s body. IVF is a breakthrough treatment in cases where other methods have failed to result in a pregnancy. The technique involves hormonally controlling the process of ovulation, removing eggs from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium. The fertilized egg is then transferred to the woman’s uterus to establish a successful pregnancy.

• Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
ICSI is an in vitro fertilization procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg using micromanipulation, and is generally indicated where there is an extremely low sperm count or poor sperm movement.

• Testicular Epididymal Sperm Extraction : (TESE)
Testicular biopsy is surgery to separate sperm in the testicle and then proceed to ICSI. This treatment is use in the case of the man with the blocked sperm tube, born without sperm tube or problem of ejaculation.

Our specialists provide treatment and services:
• Consultation
• Physical Check-up
• Blood hormone test
• Ultrasound, Hysterosalpingogram
• Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy

LASIK

FemtoLASIK, a new technology is making LASIK safer and better.

LASIK is the nation’s most popular vision correction procedure. The surgery has always been a two-step process. In the first step, the surgeon makes a thin flap with femtosecond laser and folds it back for the second step, during which a device called an excimer laser is used to ablate corneal tissue for vision correction.

For many people eligible for LASIK who have held off on having the procedure due to the fear of the blade and/or complications, here are some great reasons to consider having it now. You can ask your ophthalmologist to use Femto laser instead of a blade, the safest option now available for LASIK.

We found that in addition to fewer complications, more patients achieved vision better than 20/20.

SuperSight Surgery

What is a SuperSight Surgery?

SuperSight Surgery is a dysfunctional lens replacement for people who are over 50 and thinking of ending their dependence on glasses.

SuperSight surgery procedure, by which the failing natural lenses in the eyes, which now optically inefficient, were replaced by soft multifocal intra-ocular lenses that can be made to focus for reading as well as being able to see all distances.

Consequently, your vision after the procedure will be stable and unlikely to change over time; this can be an important turning back the clock visually. In addition, cataract surgery is unnecessary later in life.

Dr Somchai T.shoke-satian (multi-award winning ophthalmologist at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya) is one of the finest eye surgeons and the pioneers in the world of an advanced and painless surgery, which is based on tried and tested technology. He has carried out this surgery for nine years on almost 5,000 patients, with a success rate approaching 100 percent.

Simple Steps in Smart Decision Making:

1.    Contact our staff at the SuperSight Surgery & LASIK Center on the 2nd floor, Building B  to schedule a complete eye examination to see if you are eligible for SuperSight Surgery or any procedures. That way, doctor can examine your eyes and provide personalized answer to all your questions.

2.     Schedule surgery when you have made your decision to undergo SuperSight Surgery (after an eye examination has been carried out and all information studied).  You will be advised in detail on how to prepare yourself for surgery by our staff members on the day of the examination.

There has never been a better time to bring your world back into focus because we are offering the safe and most successful procedure performed today.

Laparoscopic Surgery:

What is laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopic surgery refers to a technique where the surgeon makes small incisions about 1 cm in size, instead of a single large incision. Small tubes, called “trocars,” are placed through these incisions and into the abdomen. Carbon dioxide gas is used to inflate the abdomen in order to give the surgeon room to work. This allows the surgeon to use a camera attached to a thin video camera (called a laparoscope) to watch a magnified view of the inside the abdomen on operating room monitors. Special instruments have been developed for the surgeon to pass through the trocars to take the place of the surgeon’s hands and traditional surgical instruments. Surgical stapling devices to divide and reconnect intestine as well as energy devices to cut and cauterize tissues and blood vessels have also been adapted for laparoscopic use.

What are the benefits of laparoscopic surgery?

Because the incisions are much smaller than those used in traditional surgery, there is usually less discomfort following laparoscopic surgery. This has been shown to result in a shorter hospital stay, fewer wound infections, less need for prescription pain medications, an earlier return to normal activities and less visible scarring. Reduced hemorrhages which reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion. From a surgeon’s perspective, laparoscopic surgery may allow for easier dissection of abdominal scar tissue (adhesions), less surgical trauma, and improved outcomes in certain groups like the elderly and extremely overweight individuals.

Operations now often performed laparoscopically include the following:

• gallbladder : gall stones, cholecystitis
• appendix : appendicitis
• hernia : groin hernia, abdominal wall hernia, diaphragmatic hernia
• colon : cancer, diverticulitis, polyps
• stomach : cancer, perforation, gastro-esophageal reflux
• Weight-reduction procedures : gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy
• pancreas : tumor, cyst
• spleen : splenomegaly, splenic abscess
• small intestine : tumor, fibrous adhesion
• adrenal glands : tumor

Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery:

Why do some people eat so much, but don’t get fat, while many others just eat a little, but put on weight? They find it hard to lose the weight, and even when they do lose weight, the kilograms come straight back.

If you are thinking that this is normal, you should investigate Sleeve Gastrectomy!
