You changed your mind. It happens. Fortunately, your vasectomy is reversible. But before you commit to the procedure, make sure you ask these important questions.
At IVFMD we understand that you are focused on achieving a healthy pregnancy and building your family. For almost 20 years we have served as a trusted partner as our patients travel the sometimes difficult road to parenthood. Our team stays updated on the latest medical news that may impact our patients, including recent concerns caused by the Zika virus.
Spread primarily by bites from infected mosquitoes, the Zika virus may produce a variety of flu-like symptoms that range in severity and can last from a few days to more than a week. Most individuals who contract Zika only need over-the-counter medications and recover with no lasting side effects.
The biggest concern, however, is for pregnant women and those trying to conceive.
Current research on the Zika virus has shown a direct link to microcephaly in babies born to infected pregnant women. Microcephaly is a serious medical condition that hinders a baby’s head growth, producing severe, sometimes-fatal brain damage. Additionally, microcephaly can also result in miscarriage or stillbirth.
Because our fertility center team knows that health issues like the Zika virus can affect our patients, we offer these tips to minimize any risks:
Trying to conceive and dealing with infertility can create stress for our patients. The anxiety about other potential health risks, such as Zika virus, can heighten your apprehension. Contact our Irving or Arlington fertility center locations if you have questions about the Zika virus or want to discuss any other concerns with Dr. Sy Q Le.
