Infertility refers to the inability to get pregnant even after having unprotected sex for a year and intercourse should be on a regular basis. Many women in today’s world are suffering from infertility, it has a devastating effect on mental health and marital bonds. The feeling of motherhood is longed for by every woman. Infertility is not just a condition it comes with depression, societal pressure and emptiness.
Infertility is categorised into two types – Primary infertility and secondary infertility.
Primary infertility refers to women who have never gotten pregnant after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse.
Secondary infertility refers to women who have gotten pregnant at least once irrespective of the outcome of birth- live birth, still birth.
Infertility isn’t just caused due to a problem in women, it is affected by both male and female factors, sometimes combined by or even the reason might be unexplained infertility. Let’s look into some male and female factors causing infertility.
The initial step of treating any disease begins with a detailed history with your consultant for any accurate diagnosis of infertility. During history doctors are able to identify whether the patient is suffering from primary or secondary infertility. Thorough examination and investigations are performed to identify the root cause of infertility. There are different infertility treatment options available for male and female infertility. Your fertility expert will design a personalized treatment plan.
There are a wide range of treatment options available for both males and females. Most common treatment options include:
• Ovulation induction with hormonal therapies
• Surgical correction of blocked fallopian ducts in females and sperm ducts or varicocele in males.
• Treatment of certain infections.
• Lifestyle modifications such as weight and stress management.
• Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as IVF, IUI and ICSI.
The best treatment option suitable for you is decided by your doctor according to your condition and personal requirements. The treatment is usually decided based on certain factors such as age of the couple, quality of the sperm and egg, condition of the ducts or any other medical condition causing obstacles for pregnancy.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – One of the most successful assisted reproductive technologies. This is the most commonly used technique used to treat infertility. IVF simply means fertilisation of eggs in the lab. When these eggs become embryos the healthiest embryos are implanted into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) – Injecting a single sperm directly into the egg to aid fertilization. This helps easier fertilisation of eggs. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – A mild procedure to enhance the chances of conception. This prevents the sperm from travelling through the long reproductive tract of the female which increases death of most sperms on their way.
