In a miracle of sorts in modern medicine, a 74-year-old woman gave birth to twin daughters at a private hospital in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, on Thursday. Yerramatti Mangayamma realised her dream after doctors at an In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) clinic performed a Caesarean section operation under the supervision of specialists.
Her husband Rajarao and her close relatives were present at the hospital when the surgery was performed. The couple are from Draksharamam in the East Godavari district.
In 2016, 72-year-old Daljinder Kaur gave birth to a boy at Amritsar.
Sanakkayala Uday Shankar, an IVF specialist, said the couple approached the clinic in November 2018. “I decided to go ahead with the IVF procedure after a team of experts, including a pulmonologist and cardiologist, confirmed that she had no health issues,” Dr. Uma Shankar told reporters.
The doctors collected semen from her husband, and using the IVF technique, combined it with the ovum of another woman. The treatment met with success during the first cycle itself and the woman conceived in January. “We then started preparing the woman under the close supervision of three teams of doctors, including a nutrition specialist, cardiologist and pulmonologist,” said Dr. Uma Shankar.
The twin girls weighed 1.5 kg each and were put under observation for six hours.
The couple were married on March 22, 1962, and had since then been making rounds of hospitals. They were already into their 70s when a neighbour told them about the clinic in Guntur.
A team of doctors, including cardiologist P.V. Manohar, paediatricians Ramesh and Radha Madhavi, anaesthetist Ramesh, and gynaecologists Neelima and Keerthi, assisted during the surgery.
