In addition, emotional eating disorders, which are frequently seen in morbidly obese patients, are also investigated. Patients with eating disorders are evaluated in detail before surgery and closely followed up after surgery, and special counselling is provided for eating disorders in the postoperative period. Psychological support is known to positively affect the long-term maintenance of weight loss, especially during the first few years after surgery.

-
Why genetic tests can be performed in IVF treatment?Genetic tests applied to embryos in IVF treatments can examine both numerical chromosome abnormalities and certain structural changes in chromosomes. The risk of damage to the embryo after biopsy performed by an experienced embryology team is usually less than 1%. By detecting chromosomal disorders that may be present in the baby to be born, genetically defective embryos are selected, thus increasing the chance of pregnancy and preventing unsuccessful IVF attempts.
-
In which cases genetic tests are performed in IVF treatment?In vitro fertilisation treatments supported by genetic screening are recommended in cases of recurrent pregnancy losses, a history of anomalies or metabolic diseases, repeated failed IVF attempts, advanced female age, a chromosomal disorder in men or women, unexplained infertility, poor sperm quality and sperm DNA damage.
-
On which day is embryo transfer performed in IVF treatment?In order for the embryos created in the laboratory in IVF treatments to survive outside the mother's womb, they must be in solutions that support the development of the embryo and provide the appropriate temperature, humidity and acid-base (pH) balance. Therefore, the most important step in IVF treatment is to ensure embryo development. After fertilisation, embryo development is monitored and transfer is performed on the appropriate day. However, there is no definite rule about the day on which the embryo will be transferred. The day of embryo transfer varies depending on the treatment protocol applied to the patient in the IVF centre, the number and quality of eggs obtained from the woman, the number and quality of the developing embryo. However, in general, the 4th, 5th and 6th days of blastocyst development are preferred for embryo transfer because they bring higher pregnancy rates.
-
Can a genetic problem in the parents be passed on to the child?Sperm and eggs contain 23 chromosomes. When these chromosomes come together through fertilisation, they form new cells with 46 chromosomes in our body. Our chromosomes and genes therefore come from our parents. For this reason, some genetic problems in the mother and father can also be passed on to the baby. Some of these genetic disorders can cause disease in babies, while some of them are only carriers of the disease without disease in the baby. However, genetically healthy embryos can be selected by performing IVF treatment with genetic screening in assisted reproductive treatments and the chance of pregnancy can be increased by preventing the transfer of these genetic disorders to the baby.

When starting assisted reproductive treatments, a diet low in carbohydrates but rich in minerals, protein and omega 3 should be preferred. Folic acid, potassium, magnesium-rich green leafy vegetables, nuts, and legumes are also important in this process. Fruits and vegetables containing vitamin B and C should be consumed daily. At least 2 to 3 litres of water should be consumed during the treatment process. It is also recommended to avoid artificial sweeteners, canned foods, ready-made foods containing additives. Consumption of tea, coffee and acidic drinks should be reduced. A regular life and sleep pattern should be ensured.

After the embryo transfer, a healthy and correct diet will positively affect the chances of taking a live baby home. After IVF treatment, it is recommended that patients continue to eat as they did before IVF treatment. During pregnancy, the daily calorie requirement increases. This period is a period in which the need for fluid, protein, vitamins, minerals, essential and trace elements increases. The diet recommended in this period is to take enough and regular intake of all essential nutrients, but excluding foods high in sugar and fat. You can also get support from a dietician.

However, when the sperm count is low, the number of embryos to be obtained will also be low and therefore there will not be many options to choose the healthiest embryo for placement in the uterus. microinjection is applied when the sperm count is found to be very low as a result of spermiogram. If no sperm is found in the semen given by the man, sperm is searched for in the testicular ducts and tissue by surgical method.

Which Orthopaedic Patients Should Receive Stem Cell Therapy?Cartilage tissue is found in many parts of the body. There is cartilage tissue in the joints, at the end of the ribs, between the vertebrae, nose and ear. The self-renewal ability of cartilage tissue, which is not nourished by blood and has no nerve structure, is very limited. Patient selection is very important in stem cell therapy. It is not a correct approach to apply stem cell therapy to every patient. Stem cell therapy should be decided by taking into account the condition of the patient and the condition, such as age and gender. It is not correct to recommend stem cell therapy especially in patient groups where almost all of the cartilage structure is lost. Stem cell therapy; Cartilage damage has started in the early period In patients who have cartilage damage but do not want to undergo surgery In patients with muscle and tendon injuries other than cartilage damage, in patients with early diagnosed bone nutrition problems in the hip and knee.

Why are regular dental examinations needed?Regular examinations help to detect problems early to prevent larger and more costly treatments later.
