Leading Fertility Clinic in Lebanon
In-Vitro Fertilization
IVF in Beirut is a major treatment for infertility that consists of monitoring a woman’s ovulatory process, removing ova from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium in a laboratory. The fertilised egg is then transferred to the patient’s uterus with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is used to visualize the embryo or fetus in its mother’s womb. It helps establish key information about the progress of the pregnancy and the health of both the mother and the baby....
Maternal Fetal Medicine
Maternal Fetal Medicine deals with high-risk pregnancies resulting from pre-existing medical conditions or complications during pregnancy. In addition to regular pre-natal testing and monitoring, the obstetrician may perform a fetal intra-uterine surgery.
Prenatal Testing
Amniocentesis is the sampling of detached embryonic cells floating in the amniotic fluid. After a small amount of the fluid is extracted through a needle, tests are made to determine whether any chromosomal abnormalities or fetal infections are present. The test can also be used to determine the sex of the baby. Similar to amniocentesis, CVS can be used to check for chromosomal abnormalities by taking a tissue sample of the placental tissue, and can usually be performed as early as 10 weeks of gestation. Cordocentesis is the sampling of blood from the fetal umbilical cord.
Cosmetic Gynecology
Cosmetic Gynecology aims to reconstruct and improve internal and external tissues and organs of the reproductive system. Procedures include rejuvenation of the perineum and removal of dark stains, collagen injection to G spot, labiaplasty, and hymenoplasty.
