June 30, (THEWILL) – Dr Abayomi Ajayi, founder, Nordica Fertility Centre, one of the top In Vitro Fertilisation, IVF clinics in Nigeria, has decided to diversify from what it knows how to do best. He plans to commence High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for fibroids in his Abuja Centre from July 1.
HIFU is a form of treatment that converts waves of ultrasound energy to heat to burn off fibroids. He said the centre was launching the treatment at its centre in Abuja, following a successful treatment of 425 patients in its Lagos centre since it was launched in the state in 2021.
Dr Ajayi said the treatment option saved patients from complications associated with surgery and other methods. He said very unlike traditional methods, HIFU targets and destroys fibroid tissue without removing it, reducing the risk of complications. The HIFU machine generates sound waves, which focuses on a particular area at a specific intensity and power; and the generated thermal energy kills the fibroids. This new business is coming over a year after Nordica Fertility Centre celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Established in association with Nordica International, Denmark, Nordica Fertility Centre provides the latest and most advanced assisted reproductive services for treatment of male and female infertility and related issues. Dr Abayomi runs the fertility clinic with his wife, Olori Ranti Tola Ajayi as a sex therapist and a relationship coach.
