In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a medical procedure that can help individuals or couples with fertility issues to conceive a child. During the procedure, eggs are retrieved from the woman’s ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the woman’s uterus, with the goal of achieving a successful pregnancy.
IVF can be a complex and expensive process, and it may require multiple cycles to achieve a successful outcome. As a medical tourism company, Shinon Healthcare can provide comprehensive support to patients who are seeking IVF treatment abroad. This includes arranging all necessary travel and logistics, providing guidance on pre-and post-treatment care, and connecting patients with highly qualified IVF hospitals and medical professionals who specialise in fertility treatment.
Shinon Healthcare’s team of experts can also provide assistance with visa applications, language translation, and cultural support, to ensure a stress-free and comfortable experience for patients and their families so patients can access the best possible care for their individual needs, and increase their chances of achieving a successful pregnancy through IVF.

The IVF process typically takes several weeks to complete, from initial testing and medication to embryo transfer. The exact timeline may vary depending on the individual case.
IVF success rates can vary widely depending on factors such as the age and health of the patient, the quality of the eggs and sperm, and the number of embryos transferred.
The potential risks and side effects of IVF can include multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), bleeding or infection, and psychological stress. However, these risks are generally rare and can be minimised with proper medical care.
The number of embryos transferred during IVF will depend on factors such as the patient’s age, health, and fertility history. Generally, it is recommended to transfer no more than one or two embryos to minimise the risk of multiple pregnancies.
The number of IVF cycles needed to achieve a successful pregnancy will depend on factors such as the patient’s age, fertility history, and overall health. On average, it may take two to three IVF cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy.
The cost of IVF treatment can vary widely depending on factors such as location, hospital, and individual patient needs. IVF treatment may be more affordable in some countries than others, and all are managed by Shinon at affordable costs.
There are some lifestyle changes and recommendations that may increase the chances of success with IVF, such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Some patients may choose to use alternative or complementary therapies such as acupuncture or herbal supplements in conjunction with IVF treatment. However, patients should consult with their healthcare provider before using any alternative therapies.
IVF patients may require specialised pre- and post-treatment care, such as medications, hormone monitoring, and ultrasound exams. Patients should work closely with their healthcare provider to ensure proper care and follow-up.
