Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH): Does Every Embryo Need It?
Medical Reviewer: Dr. Milind Colvalcar, MD (OBGYN), FICS.
Specialization: Advanced Embryology and Micro-Surgical Fertility Techniques.
Specialist Insight: For an embryo to implant, it must first "hatch" out of its protective shell. In cases where this shell is abnormally thick—often seen in older patients or frozen cycles—we use a high-precision laser to assist. It is a delicate balance of physics and biology.
