In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) remains a controversial concept in many parts of the world. A substantial number of people propagate the natural way to conceive, but the fact remains that IVF has emerged as a viable solution for couples (or single women using a sperm donor) having a hard time conceiving. In particular, people who are unable to get pregnant benefit tremendously from IVF. Thailand is home to a number of clinics that offer affordable IVF treatments. A major reason why people don’t opt for IVF in Australia and New Zealand is the high cost involved.
The average cost of IVF Down Under is AUD $16,000 (NZD $17,163). On the other hand, you can get fertility treatments in Thailand for AUD $8,867 (NZD $9,511). This means you enjoy savings of over 40% on IVF. Thailand is a leading medical tourism destination and the clinics there employ top IVF specialists and invest in technology that is state of the art. You can get the procedure done without having to risk your health and safety. Plus, you don’t have to compromise on quality, because the facilities in Thailand are on par with your local clinics.
The Piyavate International Hospital , in particular, has a strong reputation when it comes to IVF. The hospital caters mainly to patients from abroad. Another hospital that is popular among medical tourists is the Phyathai 2 Hospital, where you can get IVF for AUD $8,944 (NZD $9,594). Both the Piyavate International Hospital and Phyaithai 2 offer a wide range of fertility treatments in Thailand at low prices, enabling you to get the procedure done at a reasonable cost. The savings you enjoy go towards funding your travel and stay in Thailand.
That said, not everyone is a suitable candidate for IVF. Thailand offers a wealth of facilities for you to choose from, so there is no doubt that you can get the procedure. Here are some reasons why you should consider IVF:
Damaged Fallopian Tubes
Diseases, infections, and injures can cause damage to the fallopian tubes. Women whose fallopian tubes are damaged are unlikely to get pregnant. IVF bypasses the conventional route and the experts will place fertilized eggs directly in the uterus.
Chemotherapy
Unless you decide to harvest or freeze your eggs before chemotherapy, there is a good chance that you cannot conceive once you complete the sessions. Women suffering from cancer might want to conceive after treatment but chemotherapy can destroy the eggs in the ovaries. IVF is the ideal solution for this situation.
Low Sperm Count
In some cases, women are unable to get pregnant because the sperm count for their partner is low. IVF is the perfect way to sidestep this problem and increase the chances of pregnancy.
Biological Clock
Women whose biological clock has stopped ticking can experience the joy of motherhood through IVF. In this case, the eggs are donated by a woman under the age of thirty.
These are some reasons why people opt for IVF. Thailand offers low-cost IVF treatments. Therefore, if you find any of these reasons familiar, you should definitely go for an IVF.
