UNDERSTANDING THE INFERTILITY TREATMENT

Infertility occurs due to disorders in body functions, systems, or organs of the female & male reproductive tracts that prevent the conception of a child or the ability to carry a pregnancy to delivery. About 85% of couples achieve pregnancy within one year with the greatest likelihood of conception occurring during the earlier months. Approximately, 7% of couples will conceive in the second year.

 

As a result infertility can be termed as the inability to conceive within 12 months. This diagnosis is therefore shared by 15% of couples who want to conceive. Experts generally recommend seeking the help of a reproductive endocrinologist if conception has not occurred within 12 months. However, there are various scenarios where one may be advised to seek help earlier. 

SYMPTOMS OF POTENTIAL INFERTILITY 

Changes in the menstrual cycle and ovulation are the major symptom of infertility. Symptoms include: 

  • Abnormal periods (heavy or lighter bleeding than usual) 
  • Irregular periods (Number of days between monthly cycles varies) 
  • NO periods (you never had periods or periods suddenly stop)
  • Painful Periods (Back pain, Pelvic pain & cramps) 

 

CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN WOMEN

  • Abnormalities/infection in Fallopian Tubes
  • Smoking
  • Overweight
  • Cervical mucus can damage sperm or slow their progress
  • Fertility drops with age, especially after 35 years 

 

CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN MEN

  • Abnormal sperm production or function
  • Problem with delivery of sperm
  • Overexposure to environmental factors
  • Damage related to cancer and its treatment

 

 

VARIOUS TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR INFERTILITY


Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a process by which sperm is washed and prepared for placement into the uterine cavity. This bypasses the cervix and bringing a motile sperm closer to the tubes and ovulated eggs.

DIAGNOSIS AND LINE OF TREATMENT

MALE DIAGNOSIS INVOLVES:

Medical history and a general physical examination 

Examining your genitalia and questioning you about any genetic disorders, ongoing health issues, ailments, accidents, or operations that can impair your fertility are part of this process. Additionally, your doctor might inquire about your sexual behaviours and how those changed as you approached puberty.

Semen Analysis

The sperm are extracted from your semen and taken to a lab where they are counted and examined for problems in their morphology and motility. The lab will also examine your semen for indications of issues including infections.

 

FEMALE DIAGNOSIS INVOLVES:

Testing for ovulation

The increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) that takes place just before ovulation is identified by an at-home, over-the-counter ovulation prediction kit. You can confirm that you're ovulating by having a blood test for the hormone progesterone, which is created after ovulation. Prolactin and other hormone levels may also be tested.

Hysterosalpingography

Your uterus is given an X-ray contrast injection, and an X-ray is then taken to look for any abnormalities in the uterine cavity. The test also shows whether the fluid leaks from your fallopian tubes and leaves your uterus.

Ovarian Reserve Testing

The quantity and quality of eggs accessible for ovulation are determined by this testing. These blood and imaging tests may be administered to women, particularly those over 35 who are at risk of having their egg supply decreased.

According to the reports, 50% of IVF procedures in women ages 35 and older resulted in a live birth.

It is a simple procedure that puts sperm directly inside your uterus which helps healthy sperm to get closer to the egg
