Let’s continue learning new ๐ skills or knowledge ya ๐๐๐ป
SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป was being invited to attend a medical ๐ท knowledge & experiences sharing session by Dr ๐จ๐ปโโ๏ธEeson Sinthamoney about helping his patients in overcoming โ๐ถ๐ป infertility & conceiving (including a mediacal tour) at Sunfert International Fertility Centre (Sunfert) ๐จ
Dr. Eason was graduated๐จ๐ปโ๐from Universiti Sains Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ in 1995 & furthered his studies in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง He obtained his membership in the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists & was subsequently appointed as Fellow in Reproductive Medicine at St. Georgeโs Hospital, London where his training included fertility, recurrent miscarriages, reproductive endocrinology & menopause ๐๐ป
Hmm…childlessness โ๐ถ๐ป issue actually affecting about 80million people in the world ๐ It is estimated about 10% of married couples ๐ฐ๐ป๐คต๐ปare experiencing unable to conceive at the end of 2๏ธโฃ years marriage
WhyโNot conceive โ๏ธ
The married couple๐คต๐ป๐ฐ๐ปnot having enough sexโ๏ธIdeally, to have intercourse every 1๏ธโฃto 2๏ธโฃ days
The couple is not having sex at the right time ~ Sperm on average can survive about 3๏ธโฃ days in the female body while egg survive for 2๏ธโฃ days. Therefore, fertile window on,y about ย 5๏ธโฃ to 7๏ธโฃ days only
The couple is not doing sex correctly
The couple is suffering difficult intercourse
Causes of infertilityโโ๏ธ
Generally about one-third each due to either male fertility issueย ๐คต๐ป(the count, motility & normality of the sperm), female fertility issueย ๐ฐ๐ป (ovulatory, tubal/ uterine causes) or joint fertility issueย ๐คต๐ป๐ฐ๐ปย respectively
So, please don’t ever โ only point fingers ๐๐ป at the women ๐ฐ๐ป ya
Learnt ๐ pearls of wisdom to summaries fertility cum infertility from her reading ๐ ๐
To consult ๐ฃ๐ฅ & understand your own fertility profiling, then 1/2 the battle won
Age is everything, so do plan & start your family๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆas early as you can. Generally, females above 35 years old, the chances of conception will reduce โฌ๏ธ significantly
Early assessment & then seek for an early opinion. This may either reassure you that all are well or you may need to source for fertility treatment if required
Weight is a major issue, do check on your own & your partner’s BMI regularly
Male ๐ฑ๐ปfertility issues are real, so please stop just blaming ๐๐ป the females ๐ฑ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Smoking๐ฌ๐จ(including passive smoking) is harmful to fertility. Do quit it ๐ญas early as possibleโผ๏ธ
Alcohol ๐บ๐ท๐ฅis harmful too to fertility, so either drink moderately or not to drink at all
Caffeine โ๏ธ๐ตdrink contributes to infertility. Do consider to switch to non-caffeine drinks e.g. milk ๐ผ, soya๐ฅ, fruit juice๐นetc.
Do consult ๐ฃ๐ฅwhich supplements or vitamins are good for both of you
Be positive โ as most of the fertility treatments available with highโฌ๏ธsuccessful rate to most infertility couples
She was impressed with the humorous๐medical sharing by Dr. Eeson Sinthamoney ๐จ๐ปโโ๏ธ(Medical Director & Fertility Specialist)
SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ปhas learnt so much medical technical knowledge about infertility as well as the fertility treatments. She is trying her best to share what she has learnt in a simpler way i.e. Not too technical ๐ย Opps…she has been delaying in sharing about this medical event attended though…reason being she is reading ๐ more & researching for Malaysian relevance data cum statistics ๐๐๐
Hmm…at the end, SiennyLovesDrawing decides to provide the relevant linkages (gathered from her reading & research) to the fertility treatment medical jargons here for you all to read instead of herself to simplify them in layman term, in case she made mistake of wrong intepretation & created unnecessary confusion ๐โบ๏ธ
To be honest, Sunfert’s website ๐ is very nicely ๐๐ปset up with lots of detailed information too, bravo for the great effortโ๏ธ
The ceiling design with orange oval ๐ฅ shapes signifies about fertility
Sunfert is Malaysiaโs ๐ฒ๐พ fastest-growing fertility centre ๐จ
What services do they provideโ
It offers a complete range of fertility services, investigations & treatments ๐
Sunfert is with a wide comfy waiting area, moreover there is a mini cafe for you to self serve for some hot drinks โ๏ธ๐ต๐ฅ
There are wifi connection ๐ & charging๐facilities available too
This Sunfert medical talk & tour took about couple of hours including Q&A session with Dr. Eeson Sinthamoney ๐จ๐ปโโ๏ธ
The visit to Sunfert really an eye ๐opening experience for SiennyLovesDrawing as she got an exclusive opportunity to view through the microscope ๐ฌ for “Live sperms” & explanation by Dr. Ashar ๐จ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Lots of photos with babies ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป around, trust that these are the precious babies from assisted conception treatments by Sunfert
Hmm…Have been busy doing in depth reading & research on this medical topic so that she can have this medical technical blogging simple & for a layperson to understand it ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐๐๐
She always doing her blogging homework ๐ to share her own personal experiences & knowledge learnt with all her readers ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ ๐โบ๏ธ Do continue to support SiennyLovesDrawing ya!
