Effectiveness of Mind Body Intervention on Subfertile Females: An Approach to Accesses Oocyte Quality

Abstract

Introduction: In recent times, there is a much greater emphasis on the physical causes of infertility so thatpsychological effects can be ignored. There are, of course, a number of physical and emotional factors thatcan induce infertility. Mind and body interventions are efficient in lowering psychological distress therebyincreases the ART success rate, fetal outcome by improving the psychological and physiological stress. Thepurpose of the current study is to assess the relationship between effect of mind body intervention and serumcortisol level and oocyte quality.Aim and Objectives: To study the effectiveness of mind body intervention on oocyte quality and serumcortisol level in subfertile females.Materials and Method: This study is done in wardha test tube baby centre AVBRH (SAWANGI) WARDHARelevant data on the demographics and treatment history as well as the indications for IVF treatment willbe recorded. Serum cortisol level of all participant were analysed and then stimulated using a routine shortantagonist protocol.Observation and Result: From total recruited patient, one didn’t attended intervention program at all. Fourpatients attended intervention program from 4 to 6 week in discontinuation manner. Eight patients attendedup to 70% to 90% of intervention program and remaining 24 patients attended complete 10 week mind bodyintervention program. In group of 7 to 9 week intervention 6 patient out of 8 showed decrease in serumcortisol level. Patient who attended complete 10 weeks intervention they are showing significant decrease inserum cortisol level. From 40 patient, 24 attended complete 10 week mind body intervention, among them16(66%) gave positive response to mature oocyte retrieval.Discussion: In this research, a mind body intervention on subfertile females was created and to see theirresponse to mature oocyte in IVF study. Study revealed that, there were very few studies examined the roleof cortisol in relation to M II oocyte and finally clinical pregnancy outcomes. Two studies reported thatpregnancy rates were enhanced by adopting the MBI. This is in support to our study.Conclusion: This study concludes that, thereis direct correlation of serum cortisol level andoocyte quality and Mind-Body intervention iskey factor to improve oocyte quality
