We’ve been performing the best knee replacement in Dwarka for decades and our reliable total knee replacement surgery has helped hundreds of people live normally again. So if you’re looking for cost effective total knee replacement surgery in Dwarka; then look no further than Ayushman Hospital.

Here’s what you should know about knee replacement in general;

There are different knee replacement surgeries available today. The locations along with size of incisions vary and surgeons use various tools and technologies to perform this surgery. The artificial knee components are different as well; components may be standard, according to gender, customised, or made up of non-traditional material.

The variables of knee replacement surgery are discussed here in the  article. These variables, over and above the surgeon’s experience and the patient’s general health and knee anatomy, can affect  post-surgery improvement knee function and pain levels.

Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery

The aim of minimally invasive surgery is to try and preserve more muscle and other soft tissue around the knee, helping with a faster, better recovery. A minimally invasive surgery will use around 3 to 6-inch incision, compared to 8 to 12-inch incisions used for traditional surgeries. In addition to that, the knee cap is typically left undisturbed and many soft tissues are pushed to the side rather than being cut to make room for the surgery..

Minimally invasive knee replacement is not as popular as it used to be in recent years. Less invasive surgical surgeries are more technically challenging and come with their own unique set of problems. For example, minimally invasive surgeries seem to carry a greater risk of post-surgery alignment issues and nerve damage.

Outpatient (Same Day) Knee Replacement

People who go in for outpatient knee replacement surgery are discharged the very same day they go through surgery. Some studies have suggested that outpatient knee replacement surgery saves on money and offers about the same or even better results for most eligible patients, though more research and study is needed to say conclusively.

Outpatient knee replacement is actually quite uncommon. Many patients have other pre-existing health conditions, for example heart disease, that may require as precautionary measure one or more nights of post-surgery observation at the hospital, which is advised. Addition, many surgeons and patients simply prefer to have at least one night of post-surgical observation for good measure

Benefits of Egg Freezing

The IVF Centre, Ayushman Hospital and Health Service, a reliable IVF clinic in Dwarka, provides safe IVF treatment with high IVF success rates to the people of Delhi, and beyond. An IVF expert will help you understand egg freezing and its many benefits.

It’s 2020 and women have more options, be it professionally, socially, and educationally; than they have ever have before, paired with access to reliable birth control. Does it surprise anyone that women are taking their own paths and choosing when they will have children or not.

The problem is our biology hasn’t quite caught up with social evolution—and that is why egg freezing can benefit our lives. Women hit “peak fertility” in their late teens-early 20s, and by the age of 35, the chances of getting pregnant naturally are less than 15%. One of the major benefits of egg freezing is that it freezes a woman’s eggs of that particular time and health, so if she wants to use those eggs to get pregnant later on; her eggs will still be the same age, though her body will not be as young as it was.

Another one of the many benefits of egg freezing we get to hear from patients is the sense of calm and relief they feel after freezing their eggs. Some women experience “fertility anxiety”—the feeling that their fertility is falling, but they’re not ready to have a baby at the time. Less pressure and anxiety is a definite benefit of egg freezing, as heard from our patients. It allows them to be more ready and an overall analysis will justify that egg freezing more or less provides a better quality of life.

Unlike embryo freezing where there are ethical and medical compulsions, egg freezing is an independent decision made with full autonomy, with no ramifications or pressure on the woman or partners to go in for certain pregnancy, this also allows for more time to prepare and be free of stress. It can also help women choose the right partner to have children with, rather than being forced or rushed into starting a family.

Egg freezing can help preserve fertility in women with cancer, endometriosis, or other illnesses that might affect their eggs, ovaries, or reproductive systems. It was originally developed to help women with cancer preserve their fertility as some cancer treatment can put fertility at risk. For example, chemotherapy or radiation can damage or destroy the eggs stored in a woman’s ovaries while attacking the cancer. Surgical removal of tumors or the affected ovaries, uterus, or Fallopian tubes can also make it more difficult for a woman to conceive naturally, and pelvic surgery carries the risk of scarring or damage to the ovaries or reproductive system.

Myth-1

 IVF is a solution for all infertility related issues

Myth- 2:

IVF doesn’t work for obese people

This is completely false, while it is known that a healthy BMI can help conceive a child; IVF treatment works equally for underweight, ideal weight and overweight people.

Myth-3:

IVF won’t work for older people

Age is the main cause for infertility among both men and women, but couples have had children well into their advanced years, similarly IVF has been successful for women with advancing age and young women who may need IVF. But it must be stated that chances of pregnancy, even with IVF, reduce drastically with age.

Myth-4

IVF babies are born abnormal

This myth is actually the opposite of what is true: IVF in fact can actually help prevent the passing down of genetic defects from parents to children with the mandatory screening that happens before IVF.

Myth-5

IVF is a complete solution for infertility

1 in 4 couples across the globe face infertility related issues today, and while IVF had helped millions achieve their dream of parenthood; it is not the end all solution unfortunately. As women and men age, their chances of starting a family reduce, and even IVF cannot solve this
