Let’s Understand All About Infertility

The failure to get pregnant after months of trying could be frustrating, confusing and even heartbreaking when a couple attempts to conceive. However, you are not the only one, and infertility is not as rare as you might imagine; and the awareness of it is the key to finding an adequate solution.

So, What Exactly Is Infertility?

When a couple fails to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse, it is termed as infertile. In case the woman is above 35, physicians normally start testing after 6 months.

It may include:

• Women (female infertility)
• Men (male infertility)
• Both partners (combined infertility)

Common Causes of Infertility in Women

• Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) affect ovulation, making it harder to conceive.
• Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Frequently as a result of infections, endometriosis or old surgical procedures.
• Uterine problems: Fibroids, polyps or malformations of the uterus can interfere with the implantation.
• Age: The ability to conceive naturally decreases past age 35 and much more after 40.

Common Causes of Infertility in Men

• Male Infertility: Low sperm count or Motility: A significant cause of infertility in men.
• Varicocele: A swelling of the scrotum veins which influences the production of sperm.
• Hormonal Imbalances
• Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol, obesity, stress, heat or chemicals.

But Sometimes, It’s Unexplained

The latter happens in approximately 10-15% of cases, and everything appears to be okay, yet pregnancy does not occur. This is referred to as unexplained infertility, and even at this, a lot of couples conceive under proper guidance.

How Is Infertility Diagnosed?

We follow a sympathetic and meticulous procedure at Mannat Fertility:

• Hormone check through blood tests
• Ultrasounds of the ovaries and uterus checking
• Male fertility semen analysis
• Ovulation tracking
• HSG (Hysterosalpingography) to check if the fallopian tubes are open

Treatment Options

Treatment of fertility is related to the cause:

• Lifestyle changes: More healthy lifestyle choices can bring back fertility.
• Medications: to induce ovulation or to fix hormonal problems.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): Sperm is placed directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation.
• IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation): Eggs and sperm are combined in a lab, and the embryo is transferred to the uterus.
• ICSI: A single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg (ideal for severe male infertility).
  

Emotional Support Matters Too 

Infertility is not only a physical process, but also an emotional process. There is nothing wrong with anxiety or sadness. The stress can be relieved by speaking freely, consulting, or joining support groups.

Here at Mannat Fertility, we guide you towards it medically as well as emotionally, because we know the journey well.

Final Thoughts

Being infertile does not mean the end of the road; it is a detour. Many couples successfully get out of infertility with professional care, assistance, and the appropriate therapy to raise beautiful families.
