Embryo glue is a fascinating innovation in IVF treatments, designed to help embryos stick to the uterine lining. But can it prevent ectopic pregnancies? At India IVF Fertility, with clinics in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Srinagar, and Ghaziabad, we’re here to explore this crucial question.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. This condition can be dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms often include sharp abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and dizziness.
Embryo glue is a culture medium enriched with hyaluronan, a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is used during the embryo transfer stage of IVF to help embryos adhere to the uterine lining.
Embryo glue mimics the natural uterine environment, providing a sticky medium that supports embryo attachment.
Embryo glue is not specifically designed to prevent ectopic pregnancies. Its main function is to aid in the adhesion of embryos to the uterine lining within the uterus.
By increasing the chances of successful implantation in the uterus, embryo glue may indirectly reduce the likelihood of ectopic pregnancies. When embryos successfully implant in the uterine lining, the risk of them migrating and implanting elsewhere (such as in the fallopian tubes) is reduced.
Current research primarily focuses on embryo glue’s effectiveness in improving intrauterine implantation rates. However, the specific impact on ectopic pregnancies is less studied. Limited evidence suggests that by promoting proper uterine implantation, the risk of ectopic pregnancies may be indirectly minimized.
| Study | Without Embryo Glue | With Embryo Glue |
|---|---|---|
| Study 1 | 2.5% | 1.8% |
| Study 2 | 2.2% | 1.6% |
| Study 3 | 2.8% | 1.9% |
Embryo glue plays a supportive role in IVF by aiding embryo adhesion to the uterine lining. While it is not specifically designed to prevent ectopic pregnancies, its use may indirectly reduce the risk by promoting proper uterine implantation.
