Infertility & IVF
What is IVF?
IVF or In-Vitro Fertilisation is a process where the egg is retrieved and combined with the sperm outside the body i.e., in-glass fertilisation, and the fertilised embryo is then transferred to the uterus.
When is IVF Performed?
IVF is a way to help people who are struggling with female infertility treatment or male infertility treatment issues to have a baby. It’s a bit expensive and involves some medical procedures, so couples usually try simpler treatments first, like taking special medicines or intrauterine insemination, which involves the direct transfer of sperm into a woman’s uterus.
Who is Eligible for IVF?
Eligibility for IVF is determined by factors such as infertility diagnosis, age, duration of infertility, prior fertility treatments, male infertility, overall health, financial considerations, and the risk of genetic disorders. Consultation with a fertility specialist is essential to assess individual eligibility.
People might need IVF when:
- Alternative treatments fail: IVF is recommended when simpler fertility treatments, such as medications or intrauterine insemination (IUI), don’t yield results.
- Fallopian tube issues: Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, which hinder sperm from meeting the egg, make IVF a practical choice as it facilitates external fertilisation.
- Male factor infertility: Issues like reduced sperm count or poor motility can impede natural conception. IVF, potentially combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), can address these challenges.
- Ovulation disorders: Conditions affecting the release of mature eggs from the ovaries can be circumvented with IVF, where eggs are directly harvested.
- Uterine fibroids: While many fibroids don’t disrupt conception, some can. IVF can enhance the chances of implantation in such cases.
- Genetic disorders: When there’s a risk of hereditary disorders, IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) allows for embryo selection to avoid the issue.
What is Infertility?
Infertility is a medical condition characterised by the inability to conceive a child after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can affect both men and women and may result from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, structural issues, or reproductive health problems.
What are the types of infertility?
Infertility can be categorised as male infertility, female infertility, or unexplained infertility. Male infertility relates to issues with sperm production or delivery. Female infertility involves problems with the reproductive organs or egg release. Unexplained infertility occurs when the cause cannot be identified in either partner.
What are the treatments of infertility?
Treatments for infertility can include lifestyle changes, fertility medications, IUI, IVF, surgery, and assisted reproductive technologies. The choice of treatment depends on the underlying cause of infertility and may involve seeing an infertility specialist.
What are infertility Tests?
Infertility tests may include hormone level assessments, semen analysis for males, ultrasounds, hysterosalpingography (HSG) to assess the fallopian tubes, and laparoscopy for evaluating the pelvic region. These tests help identify the cause of infertility.
