Motivation and IVF outcome

Reviews are everywhere about research conducted regarding physician expertise and experience and how this impacts the outcome of medical treatment.  After all, practice makes perfect and experience produces expertise.  A physician who enjoys his profession and who consistently does the same job repeatedly is much better prepared to care for his patient population.  

The same can be applied to the patient side of a medical relationship ! At Malpani Infertility Clinic we have found a higher rate of conception using IVF with patients who are motivated and involved in their medical care.  Active participation has been noted to significantly improve the results of treatment and the patients have less stress throughout the process.  Becoming psychologically involved with their treatment plans help to keep motivation levels high.

Motivated patients are typically well informed, more compliant and open to treatment options.  This creates a healthier environment and improves success of their treatment goals.  It keeps the stress of the situation in the control of the patient.  Highly motivated patients are usually more involved with understanding the dynamics of disease process and treatment options.  Motivated patients typically do much better than those who are not engaged in all aspects of their healthcare.  

Enquiring and curious IVF patients are much more likely to become happy parents with healthy babies !
