Value of being an informed ivf patient - Indira IVF

IVF involves a lot of details and complexities. It is a vast subject with copious layers. While the IVF experts are obviously abreast of the technicalities and nitty-gritty of IVF having done their specializations in the subject, the patients barely have adequate knowledge. Since IVF is not a popular topic among hoi polloi, people hardly have sufficient knowledge about it.

When couples encounter the issue of infertility, they are often left intimidated or baffled since they don’t have any clue about it. They are unsure of how to proceed forward and whom to consult or whom to trust. This ignorance sometimes results in wrong choice of doctors or clinics. Even if they have chosen the right doctor, it is important for infertile couples to do their share of research about IVF and infertility so that they understand the whole process.

Chances of taken for a ride by venal doctors significantly decline when the patients are well aware about the whole subject and process. In any case, even if the doctor is upright and honest, he/she might not be able to give all their time to one particular patients since they have many others things to look after. An informed patient can also correct doctors or at least discuss with them candidly if he/she feels that there is some laxity or mistake in the treatment process. Mistakes are common in medical science and an informed patient can reduce the risk to a certain extent.

Also when the infertile couples are informed about the subject like IVF, it helps a lot for them to overcome their apprehensions and trepidations and develop a pragmatic attitude and approach towards the problem. One is neither grotesquely anxious, neither one is over-zealous. Knowledge about the subject leads to clarity of thoughts.

Patients who have adequate knowledge about the rudimentary technicalities can also indulge in more fruitful discussions with doctors than the ones who are completely ignorant. Exchange of ideas and thoughts is much smoother and salutary when the patients are adequately equipped with valuable information.

In an age of Internet and social media, gathering information about any subject and getting in touch with like-minded people is much easier than it was once. But it is important to only consult credible sources and people, and not to be hoodwinked by quacks which are dime a dozen.

Dr. Ajay Murdia, Scientific Director of Indira IVF clinic, has taken up the noble cause of spreading awareness about infertility. He often organizes camps in different cities of India and addresses queries and questions from common people. Thousands of people have benefitted from his pearls of wisdom.

Indira IVF clinic has centres at Udaipur, Delhi, and Pune. Under the inspirational leadership of Dr. Murdia, it has emerged as a force to reckon with. It is widely considered as the best clinic in Delhi for infertility treatment and IVF. It is also the best surrogacy clinic in India.
