Infertility Treatments: Hope for Infertile Couples
Some women need just one or more treatments to improve their fertility. Treatments for female infertility include:
Stimulation of ovulation with fertility drugs. Fertility drugs are the mainstay of treatment for women who are infertile due to an ovulatory disorder. Medications that regulate or induce ovulation will be selected by the obstetrician to use during the treatment. However, these drugs each have their own benefits and risks. Several prescription medications are used to treat ovulation problems: clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Serophene), gonadotropins (such as Gonal-F, Follistim, Humegon, and Pregnyl), or letrozole.Gonadotropins can trigger ovulation eggs when Clomid or Serophene are inactive.
These drugs can also help you get pregnant by causing the ovaries to release more eggs. Normally, only one egg is released per month. Your doctor may use gonadotropins if you have unexplained infertility or when other treatments don't work to make you pregnant. Metformin (Glucophage) is another medication that can help with normal ovulation in people with insulin resistance or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Intrauterine insemination (IUI). During intrauterine insemination, healthy sperm - washed with a special solution - is placed directly into the uterus around the time the ovaries release one or more eggs for fertilization. Depending on the reason for the infertility, the timing of this process can be combined with a normal ovulation cycle or used in addition to certain fertility drugs. Surgery to restore fertility. Uterine problems such as endometrial polyps and fibroids can be treated with laparoscopy. This procedure involves your doctor using a thin laparoscope with a probe attached through a cut near your belly button to remove scar tissue, endometriosis, open a blocked tube, or remove an ovarian cyst—which are all Fluid-filled sacs can form in the ovaries. In vitro fertilization (IVF). In this technique, the doctor places the embryo in a pre-fertilized uterus. To do this, your doctor will first give you gonadotropins that stimulate the development of many eggs. When the eggs are mature, the doctor will use ultrasound to collect the eggs. The sperm is then collected, washed and combined with the eggs in the culture dish. A few days later, the embryo or egg is fertilized and returned to the uterus using a device called an intrauterine insemination. In case of excess embryos, you can use the freezing method to save them for later use. In addition, GIFT and ZIFT methods can be used for treatment. These two methods, like IVF, both involve taking eggs and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory and then putting them into the uterus. In ZIFT, a doctor places a fertilized egg—at a stage called a zygote—in a fallopian tube for 24 hours. In the GIFT method, sperm and eggs are mixed together before being placed in the uterus.
Inject sperm into the ovary. The doctor will inject sperm directly into the implant and then place it in the uterus. Egg donation. This can help people with faulty ovaries but a normal uterus. It involves removing eggs from ovaries that have taken fertility drugs. After in vitro fertilization, the doctor will transfer the fertilized egg into the uterus. Surrogacy. Women with a uterus that is not functioning properly or whose pregnancies are at risk of serious health effects can opt for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and then implantation of the embryos in the uterus. of the surrogate.
3. Some complications of female infertility treatment
Complex pregnancy. The most common complication of infertility treatment is multiple pregnancy—twins, triplets, or more. Generally, the higher the number of fetuses, the higher the risk of labor and premature birth, as well as problems during pregnancy such as gestational diabetes. Babies born prematurely are at increased risk for health and development problems. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Fertility drugs to induce ovulation can cause this syndrome, especially assisted reproductive technology (ART), in which the ovaries become swollen and painful. Symptoms may include mild abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea that last for about a week or longer if pregnant. Rarely, but serious conditions such as uncontrolled weight gain and shortness of breath can occur that require urgent treatment. Bleeding or infection.
