IVF fertility treatment and Ayurveda fertility treatment are two different paths that converge to a similar destination. There are ups and downs in both, but you can choose whichever you want. Here is a comparison of cost, results, and time taken in the treatment.
What is IVF and Ayurveda fertility?
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex set of procedures that helps in pregnancy. It is used in cases of infertility, and by using this technique, diseases that are passed on from parents can also be prevented.
Ayurvedic fertility treatment focuses on balancing hormones, improving reproductive health by Panchakarma therapies, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, and yoga.
Cost of IVF vs. Ayurveda fertility
IVF- IVF treatment can cost 1.5 lakh inr to 2.5 lakh INR per cycle, including ultrasound scans. It may take 2-3 cycles to treat some patients. Additional charges can also be taken for consultation and pre-IVF lab tests.
Ayurveda- Cost of Ayurvedic fertility treatment in India starts from 3,000INR upto 30,000INR. It includes diagnosis, medication, guidance, and support. The treatment can take 3 to 12 months. Additional charges may be applied for the clinical lab tests.
Timeline of the treatments
IVF- For the first 3 months, hormonal therapy is given to the patients. After completion of the hormone therapy, another 3 months of egg retrieval from the ovaries is done by a minimally invasive procedure by the doctors. After this procedure, cycle alignment is done, which is a process of syncing the patient's natural menstrual cycle with the IVF treatment’s cycle until pregnancy is achieved.
Ayurveda- In Ayurveda, herbal detoxification is done for the first 3 months, which cleanses the body by removing Ama (toxins) and balancing doshas. The next 3 months are focused on ovulation correction and menstrual cycle regulation by using herbs and therapies. In Ayurveda, too, cycle alignment is done until the pregnancy test.
Success rate
It was found that IVF has 35% success rate in women less than 35 years of Age and the success rate drops with increasing age. It reaches 26% for women who are 40 years old.
In Ayurveda , it was recorded that 90% of women experienced a natural cycle in 2months, 70% women reduced their weight in 3 months, and 75% women with PCOD reduced cysts in 3 months.
Side effects
IVF has several side effects, such as severe hormonal imbalance, surgical complications, and high stress levels.
