The added value of a multidisciplinary and holistic approach in assisted reproduction treatments

In the field of assisted reproduction, a multidisciplinary approach has proven to be a key factor in improving the quality and outcomes of treatments, providing added value in patient care. At IVF-Life Group, the importance of emotional well-being in assisted reproduction treatments is understood and efforts are made to integrate this approach into daily practice. 

IVF-Life Group professionals strive to go beyond the mere application of medical techniques and address the individual needs and aspirations of each couple. The clinic’s multidisciplinary team consists of gynecologists, psychologists, nurses, and other specialists, all of whom are aware of the importance of conveying information with tact and empathy, as well as providing emotional support at each stage of the process. 

The role of the gynecologist beyond the technical and the support of the multidisciplinary team

Dr. Victoria Verdú, medical director of IVF-Life Madrid, explains how the role of the gynecologist in assisted reproduction treatments goes far beyond the technical aspect. According to Verdú, half of the specialization in gynecology consists of knowing the techniques and the other half in knowing the couples and their aspirations. This statement highlights the importance of psychology in the process, as it allows professionals to understand the reproductive possibilities of each patient and convey that information with tact. 

In a clinic that works in a multidisciplinary manner, such as IVF-Life Madrid, the patient can obtain benefits that go beyond the medical treatment itself. The entire team has a specific and exclusive task of understanding the patients, being aware that, on many occasions, it is difficult to let them know that the conditions for becoming pregnant are not adequate. In this sense, Raquel Pascual, psychologist and nurse with more than 10 years of experience in the sector and director of the IVF-Life Madrid clinic, assures that if there is no confidence, nothing will go well.

Psychological and fertility factors in assisted reproduction

From the psychological point of view, there are factors that can affect patients who decide to become parents at advanced ages. Pascual points out that it is a complicated process that requires the support of everyone and that, in this case, solutions should not only be scientific but also human. At IVF-Life Madrid, work is done to create a multidisciplinary team that provides constant support until a baby is achieved.

Among the factors that can decrease fertility in patients, Verdú highlights the lack of access to information and the absence of awareness about the natural reproductive characteristics of the human being. In many cases, fertility preservation could help women and couples who cannot achieve pregnancy naturally.  

However, the specialist clarifies that it is not an insurance but an option that offers greater possibilities if it is carried out between the ages of 20 and 30. From the age of 30, the effectiveness decreases and close to 40, it becomes very complicated. 

Decision-making and education in the assisted reproduction process

Decision-making in the assisted reproduction process is a delicate task that must be approached with care and empathy. The multidisciplinary team at IVF-Life Madrid strives to provide information and options to couples, but also to offer emotional support during this difficult process.  

Dr. Victoria Verdú states that in reproductive medicine, professionals can be perceived as heroes or villains, and that is why it is essential to work with tact and understanding to explain to couples the success conditions required for fertility treatments. 

The lack of information about fertility and the treatment options available is a common challenge for many couples seeking help in the area of assisted reproduction. IVF-Life Madrid and its multidisciplinary team aim to provide patients with comprehensive and up-to-date education about their treatment options, as well as the potential risks and benefits associated with each option. The disclosure of quality information, backed by the statements of specialists like Verdú and Pascual, is essential for patients to make informed decisions and feel supported throughout the process. 

The future of assisted reproduction treatments and the multidisciplinary approach

With technological advances and the growing focus on personalized care, assisted reproduction treatments are likely to continue evolving and improving in the coming years. The multidisciplinary approach will remain a fundamental part of this process, as it addresses not only the technical and medical aspects of treatment but also the emotional and psychological needs of patients. 

Ultimately, the goal of IVF-Life Madrid and its multidisciplinary team is to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care that allows couples to achieve their dreams of starting a family. By combining technical expertise, emotional support, and a commitment to education and outreach, this multidisciplinary approach lays the foundation for a more promising future in the field of assisted reproduction.
