The Hewitt Fertility Centre is based in Liverpool, a city known worldwide for its football team amongst many other achievements. Located in the east of England, Liverpool has been a recognised city since 1880 and now has a population of 435,500 in the city's central area. Liverpool has been a major commercial and industrial port for many years, which has been responsible for fuelling the city's remarkable growth. Hewitt Fertility's Liverpool location makes it extremely accessible by any means, with regular train and bus routes passing through the city and into its surrounding areas. Hewitt Fertility offers a long list of different fertility treatments to cater to the diverse needs of its patients. Some patients will most benefit from the artificial insemination treatments on offer, which include intrauterine insemination (IUI) and donor insemination (DI). IUI places a sperm sample directly into the uterus, while DI is used where a male partner is either unavailable or where a male partner's sperm are not of sufficient quality to fertilise an egg. In some cases DI is chosen where a male partner is carrying a heritable disease to remove the chances of his child bearing it as well. Other couples can make use of an extremely successful in vitro fertilisation (IVF) service, which takes eggs from the female and sperm from the male and introduces them to one another in a lab setting, free from physiological constraints. IVF is an amazing procedure in that it has helped so very many couples with infertility to conceive and have their own children, and few treatments in any field can claim such a life changing effect. IVF is offered at the Hewitt Centre alongside its sister treatment ICSI (intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection), a treatment similar to IVF that instead takes a single sperm cell and injects it right into the egg cell to provide a much higher chance of fertilisation. ICSI is very effective because of its remarkable ability to bypass many causes of male infertility by directly introducing gametes (sex cells) from either partner. Normally successful sperm action depends on good sperm quality, motility, and counts, but through ICSI these characteristics aren't as important, meaning that sperm suffering from any defects in these areas can still fertilise an egg.
