IVF IN PATIENTS WITH HYPOTHYROID DISORDERS
Jan Friberg M.D., Ph.D.

Thyroid hormones are important in female reproduction and regulate the function of FSH and LH, estradiol and progesterone. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are well established risk factors for subfertility. Low thyroid hormone availability is associated with a suboptimal ovarian stimulatory effect of boH1, FSH and LH. Thyroid function tests are stable during the normal menstrual cycle, but during an IVF stimulation supraphysiological estrogen levels are obtained that result in increased production of thyroxin-binding globulin levels from the liver and factors that deactivate thyroid hormones. The result is an increased need for thyroid hormone during IVF stimulation. In fact during an IVF stimulation, the TSH levels increase 0.69 mIU/l and remain higher throughout the entire stimulation cycle. This may raise a need for more thyroid hormone during IVF, particularly for patients with hypothyroidism on a steady thyroid hormone dose as the TSH concentration increased 1.50 mIU/L in this group. A TSH level of < 2.5 mIU/L should be aimed at before IVF treatments are started in patients with hypothyroidism such as Hashimoto’s Disease.

NON-SURGICAL VAGINAL REJUVENATION USING CO2 LASER AND RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
AUG 19, 2022

Surgical va**nal rejuvenation with vaginoplasty has increased in popularity. As a surgical procedure it results in considerable down time, needs anesthesia, is expensive and may result in scar formation. With newly developed equipment excellent functional results can now be obtained with non-surgical approaches to va**nal rejuvenation. Fractional CO2 laser and radio-frequency (RF) stimulation to the va**na have been developed as non-surgical treatment of va**nal dryness and atrophy, urinary and stool leakage, or****ic dysfunction, and some women simply wish to improve the aesthetic appearance and function of the ge***al tract.

Vaginal rejuvenation may be needed both before and after the menopause. During childbearing age, multiple deliveries, delivery of a large baby, and instrumental va**nal delivery (-ies) easily distends tissue and cause va**nal tissue laxness but post cesarian section va**nal laxness can also be pronounced. The tissue laxness may result in increased urethral mobility and it is not unusual that this results in the development of incontinence, mostly with mild to moderately annoying urinary leaks during “stress” situations but may also result in leakage of stool.

A few years after the menopause, va**nal atrophy with poor va**nal lubrication and dyspareunia is a frequent development. Together with va**nal laxity, sexual dysfunctions and mild to moderate incontinence, these symptoms have collectively been called genito-urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). The standard treatment of GSM has been systemic or local estrogen treatment. However, there are a number of contraindication to estrogen treatment such as history of breast cancer, previous thrombo-embolism, liver dysfunction and estrogen treatment may increase the risk of the development of breast cancer. It is also well known that patients are not very consistent in taking and maintaining the estrogen therapy.

CO2 laser is best used for superficial treatment of the va**nal mucosa since it penetrates only a few millimeters into the tissue. Consequently, its major application is to treat va**nal dryness and atrophy. Clinical experience indicate also that it has a major positive effect on or****ic performance. A small series of women treated with Edge One va**nal CO2 laser showed a dramatic increase in FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) score after treatment. The FSFI score measures desire, arousal, lubrication, or**sm, satisfaction and pain.

RF energy penetrates deeper into the tissue where the intent is to heat the tissue to 40-45 °C for approximately 3- 5 minutes. This thermogenic effect liberates nitrous oxide from sensitive nerves and vessels. This then mobilizes growth factors that result in collagen contraction, neo-collagenosis and neo-vascularization. These finding are also confirmed by histological studies that show an increase in va**nal cell maturation index, increased presence of papilla, increased number of fibroblasts, elastin, and collagen. The whole process results in a thickened epithelium and stroma with a return of normal lubrication and increased strength of underlying and surrounding tissue.

Friberg Medical Associates / Friberg Fertility use NeuViva equipment for va**nal rejuvenation. NeuViva has two components, Edge One CO2 laser for more superficial procedures and Intragen Jeisys RF system for deeper tissue treatment. This means that depending on patients’ symptoms (and sometimes wishes) both instruments are always available and can be used in the most efficient way. Most clinics are only equipped with one instrument and that one will be used for all conditions when va**nal rejuvenation is performed.

Please remember that fake pregnancy announcements are insensitive, hurtful and in poor taste. Be better.

Today we’re sharing a post from our patients, the “Jones” family. This couple’s path to our office is one that perfectly highlights our philosophy to patient care and mission statement(link to site in bio), we are happy they found us!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♥️🌈♥️🌈♥️🌈♥️🌈♥️🌈♥️🌈♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“We are a q***r/transgender couple, who are in the process of navigating fertility and creating a family. Prior to coming to Friberg Fertility, we were working with a small clinic that focused specifically on serving LGBTQ couples. While their philosophy was wonderful, we felt like we weren’t receiving the best quality of care. We stayed there much longer than we should have because of our fear of what kind of judgement or treatment we would face elsewhere. Finally, after a friend highly recommended Dr. Friberg, we decided to at least call Friberg Fertility. We have felt comfortable from the very first second we began receiving services from their clinic. In addition to feeling affirmed as a couple, we are genuinely receiving high quality care. They not only empowered us to take the next big steps in our family building but helped facilitate this as well! Melissa(practice manager) has worked to understand our budget/cost-related challenges. Together, we formed a plan that is affordable while optimizing our treatment. It’s been wonderful to work with them to navigate this all and determine what works best. We cannot recommend them enough.” -The “Jones” Family ♥️🌈♥️🌈♥️🌈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Pride Month! Today we are sharing with you all what Pride 2019 is for a member of the Friberg Patient Tribe! Meet the ‘K’ family!
“This pride month we have so much more to be proud of than our love for one another as a gay couple. This is our first Pride as fathers and the pride we feel is stronger than ever! Our journey to fatherhood through surrogacy has been the most difficult journey either of us have endured in all of our lives. This path to becoming parents truly tested our resilience as a couple. However, we never gave up and now we are happy as we can be as a party of three! 🌈🌈🌈
Our son has filled our days with so much laughter and love. We are so proud of the family we are today and the strength we have built through this journey.
We are forever thankful for Dr. Friberg & Melissa for their support throughout. As a RN, I have high standards for patient care, Dr. Friberg and Melissa exceeded those expectations often. Friberg Fertility’s standard for exceptional care provided my husband and I with the support and resources we needed every step of way. “ 🌈🌈🌈♥️♥️♥️
