Fertility Treatment Options for People with Thalassemia

There are a number of fertility treatment options available for people with thalassemia who want to have children. These options include:

1. In vitro fertilization (IVF): IVF is a procedure in which eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized eggs are then transferred back into the uterus. IVF can be a successful treatment option for people with thalassemia, but it is important to work with a fertility specialist who is experienced in treating people with this condition.
2. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): ICSI is a type of IVF in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. ICSI can be a helpful treatment option for people with thalassemia who have problems with sperm production.
3. PGT-M:Thalassemia is a single gene diseqse and it is possible to check the embryos for mutation before even implanting it back to the uterus. This is a very effective way and avoids unnecessary pregnancy terminations.
4. Gestational carrier:A gestational carrier is a woman who agrees to carry a pregnancy for another couple. This can be a helpful option for people with thalassemia who are unable to carry a pregnancy themselves.
