What is Low/Diminished Ovarian Reserve?
The ability of a woman’s ovary to produce good quality of eggs
(leading to the formation of high-quality embryos) is called as
Ovarian Reserve. One of the major conditions resulting in female
infertility diminished ovarian reserve is described as the formation
of low number and/or poor quality of eggs in a woman’s ovaries or
impaired growth of the current eggs. Delhi IVF has the specialization
in treating women with diminished/low ovarian reserve, born out of our
25 years long research on the condition
Women, who don’t get the right treatment, often find conceiving
difficult. However, even if they conceive somehow they suffer
from the higher number of miscarriages in any infertility diagnosis.
On an average, 95% of embryo quality depends upon the quality of eggs,
and embryos with poor quality are unlikely to grow and implant in the
uterus and likely to lead to miscarriages. It also may lead to the birth of
children with health issues.
Diminished Ovarian Reserve occurs as the age of the women
increases. With age, ovarian reserve in women starts diminishing.
Women trying to achieve pregnancy after the age of 40, often find difficult to get
pregnant because of this reason. Also, DOR is not a condition only in women over
the age of 40. It can also affect the younger age women too.
Around 10% of women start to face this condition (decline of ovarian function
in terms of ageing) much earlier in their life. It means that if their ovarian reserve
is assessed, it is found to be lower than what is expected according to their age. These
women are said to be suffering from Premature Ovarian Aging (POA), a clinical term often used and
successfully treated by the researchers of Delhi IVF. Like women having DOR, women having POA also
find hard to conceive naturally and even with the help of fertility treatments, as these women are
often not given the appropriate treatment or misdiagnosed for their ovarian reserve status. Fortunately
, these women still have the option to get excellent results at Delhi IVF, most of our POA patients have
been successfully treated and have conceived at Delhi IVF.
