Infertility is a complicated issue because the problems vary
from couple to couple and accordingly, the solutions vary too. A couple may
fail to conceive due to a variety of causes, in which the male, female or both
may be responsible for the condition. Female reproductive health plays a key
role in the ability of a couple to produce healthy offspring and a variety of
treatment techniques have been devised to treat infertility issues in women.
Fertility specialists study the problem of the woman and suggest the right
treatment as per the need and the problem.
Here are the choices of infertility cure available for women:
Fertility Medication
A number of medicines are available for diverse problems of
women, acting as a barrier to pregnancy. Most of the time, medication is
recommended for women combating ovulation problems in women. These medicines are
clomifene, tamoxifen, metformin and gonadotrophin, all of which regulate the
hormonal function and stimulate ovulation.
Fallopian Tube Surgery
Another option for creating infertility in women is fallopian
tube surgery, a technique used to clear out the tubal blockage or repair the
damaged tubes. It is done when the fallopian tubes are damaged or blocked with
scar tissue, which is preventing the ripened egg from reaching from the uterus.
Endometrial Surgery
Endometriosis is a condition in which there is growth of
endometrial tissue at places other than the inner lining of the uterus, such as
in the ovaries. This condition is corrected with the help of a laparoscopic
surgery for the removal of scar tissue.
Intrauterine
Insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine insemination or artificial insemination is an
assisted reproductive technique used for transfer of sperm directly to the
uterus with the help of a plastic tube. This one is useful for women who are
combating some structural problems related to the uterus or cervix, or where
selective sperms have to be used for making conception possible.
In Vitro Fertilization
(IVF)
In Vitro Fertilization is the Assisted Reproductive Technique
which involves the combining of eggs with sperms to form embryos under the lab
conditions and placing the so formed embryo in the uterus of the woman for the
pregnancy to continue normally. This method is again used in women with
problems related to egg formation in the ovaries.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm
Injection (ICSI)
This infertility technique is similar to IVF, except for the
fact that it uses a selective sperm to carry out fertilization and this sperm
is directly injected into the egg to be fertilized under the lab conditions.
Egg Donation
When a woman is not producing eggs at all or viable eggs to
make a pregnancy, egg donation comes up as a feasible fertility cure for her.
Here, healthy eggs are taken from the donor and used for IVF or ICSI to
maximize the success rate of these techniques.
Surrogacy
When a woman has lost her uterus or the uterus is not in a
condition to bear a baby, she has to try out the treatment option called
surrogacy, in which a surrogate mother is hired to carry the baby in her womb
till the pregnancy is materialized.
It is the responsibility of a fertility clinic to make a
comprehensive evaluation of the condition of a woman and suggest the right
method of treatment for her.
