Cancer survivor becomes pregnant at Orion IVF

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], March 5 (ANI/SRV Media): Orion IVF, a medical facility in Pune, helps with assisted reproduction and sets a couple on the path of parenthood.
Having a child is something that almost every couple dreams of at some point in time but not everyone is able to realise this dream. Owing to a hectic schedule, lifestyle and medical issues, infertility has been on the rise in recent times. Recently, Orion IVF was approached by a 26 year old female who had battled ovarian cancer that had affected her germ cells.
At the age of 17, both her ovaries were removed and it was followed by rigorous chemotherapy. Owing to this, and her gynaecological, menstrual and hormonal issues, she was apprehensive about her marital life. The major concerns were the impossibility of a natural pregnancy and sexual problems due to dryness of vagina.
Under the guidance of Dr Parag Hitnalikar, Director of Orion IVF, the woman and her prospective husband underwent counselling and got married. With the prescribed medicine and hormone replacement therapy, the sexual issues started improving and the couple led a good marital life.
A year later, they revisited Orion IVF for fertility treatment as they were looking forward to becoming parents. The lack of normal development of uterus and endometrial lining and egg production by the body, were major hurdles. With the course of treatment the endometrium was made capable of carrying out the pregnancy. Following this, the donor oocytes were transferred and the woman conceived in the very first attempt.
