Care for Out-of-Town Patients

Care for Out-of-Town Patients

The treatment process for our out-of-town patients begins with an initial video consultation, during which the specialist reviews and evaluates the couple’s medical history to identify the possible cause of infertility. The doctor will also indicate which tests and studies are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

These tests will be conducted during the second visit, which is in person, along with a review of the results. Based on these findings, the doctor will identify the most appropriate treatment or procedure that offers the highest chance of achieving pregnancy.

If the couple is traveling from another city, it is important to inform the specialist during the first consultation so the treatment protocol and scheduling can be adjusted accordingly.

While treatment can begin from home, the patient must be present at the IECH center starting the week prior to the procedure for monitoring. On average, patients should plan to stay in the city for 10 to 12 days.

If the husband or partner cannot be present the entire time, that’s not a problem—his presence is only required on the day of egg retrieval to provide the semen sample.

Recommendations

Each doctor may have different protocols and scheduling practices, but here are some general tips to ensure a smooth treatment process:

• Carefully read the treatment protocol multiple times until everything is clear. For any question, no matter how small, contact the doctor or IECH staff. Never leave questions unanswered.
• Medications can be purchased directly from IECH and delivered via courier.
• Important: Any suspension or modification in medication dosage without prior medical instruction can negatively affect the outcome of the procedure.
