What is Nitronox PLUS?
Nitronox PLUS is an advanced pain and anxiety management solution specifically designed to support patient comfort during fertility treatments. Utilizing a safe, balanced blend of nitrous oxide (commonly known as “laughing gas”) and oxygen, Nitronox PLUS provides quick, effective relief. At Conceive Fertility Center, we recognize that some fertility procedures may cause temporary discomfort or anxiety, and Nitronox PLUS is a valuable tool in ensuring that our patients feel relaxed and supported during these moments. With its rapid onset and soothing effects, Nitronox PLUS can make a profound difference in the fertility journey.
How is Nitronox PLUS Used in a Fertility Clinic?
In our clinic, Nitronox PLUS is administered via a simple face mask that allows patients to self-administer the gas mixture when needed. The immediate onset of Nitronox PLUS means patients feel the calming effects almost instantly, easing both physical discomfort and emotional stress. Procedures such as hysteroscopies, HSGs, HycoSy, endometrial biopsy’s, sonograms, and intrauterine inseminations can often be completed with significantly less stress and discomfort, allowing patients to remain as relaxed as possible. Because Nitronox PLUS clears from the body quickly, patients can leave the clinic feeling refreshed and ready to resume their day.
Who Would Benefit from Nitronox PLUS in a Fertility Setting?
Nitronox PLUS is especially beneficial for fertility patients who experience anxiety or have a low threshold for procedural discomfort. Fertility treatments can be emotionally and physically taxing, and Nitronox PLUS offers a solution to help patients feel calm and in control. This option is ideal for those undergoing treatments like hysterosalpingograms (HSGs), intrauterine inseminations (IUIs), and minor surgical procedures in the clinic. Nitronox PLUS can alleviate anxiety, improve tolerance to minor pain, and foster a more positive treatment experience overall.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Nitronox PLUS?
Most fertility patients are excellent candidates for Nitronox PLUS. The gas mixture is well-tolerated and safe for use in outpatient fertility procedures, making it a flexible option for diverse patient needs. However, some patients, such as those with respiratory conditions (e.g., COPD) or certain vitamin deficiencies, may need to explore alternative comfort options. Our team at Conceive Fertility Center thoroughly reviews each patient’s medical history to ensure Nitronox PLUS is a suitable and safe choice, providing peace of mind during treatments.
