Primary Infertility: What Every Couple Needs to Know

Primary infertility simply means never experiencing pregnancy even after regular, unprotected intercourse for 12 months. This brings hopelessness into a couple’s life and demotivation. People often feel maybe they weren’t meant to have children often leading to depression. At NJINSKY IVF & Fertility Clinic we aim to identify an accurate primary infertility diagnosis. Our doctors design a personalized plan to treat your specific cause of infertility as there is difference between primary and secondary infertility treatments. 

Primary Infertility Symptoms 

There aren’t any obvious symptoms of primary infertility. The indication of primary infertility is mainly no conception after regular unprotected intercourse for 12 months. 

However some factors may contribute to infertility with males and females:

In males 

• Pain or lump in testicles 
• History of any surgery of genital organs 
• Conditions like hernia and varicocele 
• Erectile dysfunction 
• Decrease in sexual desire 
• Less facial hair or presence of breast in males may indicate hormonal imbalance 

In females 

• Irregular or absent periods 
• Heavy or painful periods 
• Excessive facial hair 
• Pain during intercourse 
• Sudden weight gain and difficulty in losing weight 

Causes of Primary Infertility

The causes of infertility can be variable for male and females most common causes are as follows: 

Female causes

• Ovulatory disorders 
• Uterine abnormalities 
• Hormonal disorders 
• Blocked fallopian tubes 
• Age related infertility 
• Genetic disorders 

Male causes

Treating Primary Infertility 

Infertility treatment for primary infertility depends on the condition causing infertility. At NJINSKY IVF & Fertility Clinic we provide personalized treatment plans for males and females and even combined plans for couples. Male infertility treatment includes a series of tests beginning with semen analysis which provides us with details of the quality of sperm. If the quality of sperm is impaired we usually recommend assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF, IUI and ICSI. Other conditions are treated accordingly with lifestyle changes, hormonal therapies and surgical procedures. While female infertility treatment requires more detailed testing and a wide range of treatment options are available once the cause of infertility is identified, most commonly used methods involve ovulation induction with hormonal therapy. Once the egg is released we can use different methods of fertilization either naturally or assisted reproductive techniques. It is a crucial task when selecting the best fertility clinic in Pakistan.
