Our interlocutor is the director of GENESIS-DNEPR clinic, reproductive specialist Igor Perelygyn.
- THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN
born with the help of ART
is increasing every year...
Let's say,
it already looks like a global trend.
What does the demand for reproductive specialists' services in the modern world indicate?
– Infertile marriage is one of the most significant contemporary problems.
I would say,
infertility is a disease that,
while causing no physical pain,
is very painful...
Unfortunately, it must be stated,
that the number of infertile marriages is increasing every year. It’s such a paradox: assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are improving,
but the number of infertile couples...
is growing.
To date, more than 5 million children have been born thanks to the use of ART.
– In recent years, it is no longer surprising to see pregnancies in women over 50,
or in women with conditions,
which previously made it impossible for them to even dream of having children.
Какие новейшие репродуктивные технологии позволяют добиваться таких высоких результатов?
– Today, doctors worldwide are focused not only on increasing pregnancy rates, but also on implementing technologies that reduce risks of complications in ART programs.
The uniqueness of our clinic lies in the fact that in one place, in "one set of hands," we have gathered "the best of the best" for examining, treating, conceiving, carrying, and giving birth to a healthy child.
All this is possible only with a team of professionals and the most modern innovative equipment, a thoughtful individual approach to each patient, and human concern for the problem.
For many, we are the last hope of becoming parents, and we do not have the right to fail...
- You are quite actively working with ART programs such as egg donation and surrogacy.
Not all countries in the world practice these technologies due to various ethical-moral or religious reasons...
- At one time, IVF caused a real revolution, allowing thousands of childless couples to have their own children.
Life does not stand still...
New technologies and increasingly modern methods of treating infertility will continue to emerge.
We were one of the first in Ukraine to engage in such complex and labor-intensive fields.
Egg donation and surrogate motherhood - this is a real "miracle,"
которое дарит тысячам бесплодных пар радость материнства и отцовства, а значит - радость Жизни.
Я считаю это большим достижением в области репродуктологии.
И законодательство нашей страны в этом плане "разрешает" обретать счастье бездетным парам.
- Вы являетесь "автором" уникального международного праздника - День Белых Орхидей!
Как родилась идея праздника и чему он посвящен?
- Это трогательный,
эмоциональный и удивительно красивый праздник,
который проходит каждый год в первое воскресенье апреля...
With the first warmth of the sun... This is the day of the "Test-Tube Baby" when families come together who have had children through ART... To share their happiness with each other... I would call it a celebration of life... Usually, everyone comes on this day with orchids, because the Orchid is the symbol of our clinic and the symbol of the birth of a "test-tube baby". After all, the orchid is the only flower in the world grown with the help of assisted reproductive technologies...
