Paternal Lymphocyte Immunization (PLI)
Paternal Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (PLI): Advanced Infertility Solutions at Mediworld Fertility
Infertility can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience for couples looking to start a family. At Mediworld Fertility, we offer a range of advanced infertility solutions, including Paternal Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (PLI). This state-of-the-art procedure offers a range of benefits, helping to improve the chances of successful pregnancy.
What is PLI?
PLI is a cutting-edge infertility treatment that helps to improve the chances of pregnancy by addressing a specific cause of infertility – paternal immune infertility. This occurs when the immune system of the male partner attacks the sperm, reducing the chances of successful fertilization.
The PLI procedure involves harvesting a sample of the male partner’s lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and exposing them to the patient’s sperm. This exposure helps to “train” the immune system to recognize the sperm as self, reducing the chances of the immune system attacking them.
The Benefits of PLI
PLI offers several advantages over traditional infertility treatments, including:
- Increased success rates: By addressing the specific cause of paternal immune infertility, PLI increases the chances of a successful pregnancy.
- Reduced risk of miscarriage: By reducing the attack of the immune system on sperm, the risk of miscarriage is reduced, helping couples avoid the emotional toll of a failed pregnancy.
- Improved fertility outcomes: PLI can improve the chances of successful fertilization, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
PLI Procedure
The PLI procedure is performed as part of an IVF cycle. The procedure involves harvesting a sample of the male partner’s lymphocytes and exposing them to the patient’s sperm. The sperm is then used in an IVF cycle, with the goal of improving the chances of successful fertilization.
Recovery and Aftercare
The PLI procedure is minimally invasive and does not require any recovery time. Patients can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.
Who is Eligible for PLI?
PLI is designed for couples undergoing IVF who have a history of paternal immune infertility. The procedure may also be recommended for couples who have experienced repeated IVF failures or recurrent miscarriages.
Preparation for PLI
Before undergoing PLI, patients will undergo several pre-operative tests and evaluations to determine if the procedure is right for them. This may include a semen analysis, hormone tests, and ultrasound. In order to maximize the chances of success, patients may also need to make certain lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking or reducing alcohol consumption.
Conclusion
Paternal immune infertility can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience for couples, but with PLI, the chances of successful pregnancy can be increased. Offered at Mediworld Fertility, this advanced infertility solution provides a range of benefits, including increased success rates, reduced risk of miscarriage, and improved fertility outcomes.
