Medical Interventions that Deal with Infertility
Having a new member in your family is a source of joy to the existing kids and the parents. However, the feeling is the exact opposite when you and your partner are trying to conceive, and it is still unsuccessful. The disappointment associated with infertility can result in partners blaming each other and accusing them of being infertile. No need to keep arguing or breaking up over infertility problems because various treatments are worth trying. If you have Shrewsbury infertility and seek a solution to your problem, it would be best if you start with learning the various treatment options available. Some of the effective medical interventions include:
· Medications
Examples of medications used to treat infertility include Clomifene or tamoxifen, which stimulates ovulation, especially in women whose ovulation is irregular or cannot ovulate. Metformin may also be given to women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. In other cases, gonadotrophins can also be given to stimulate ovulation in women and improve men’s fertility. Dopamine agonists and gonadotropin-releasing hormones may also be given to trigger ovulation in women. Of importance to note is that some of these medications may have side effects such as vomiting, nausea, hot flashes, and headaches. If the cause of infertility is unknown, you are advised not to take medicines that stimulate ovulation because they do not increase your odds of conceiving.
· Fallopian tube surgery
In most cases, fallopian tube surgery is recommended when the cause of your infertility is scarred or blocked fallopian tubes. The surgery can help break the scar in your fallopian tube, thus allowing ova to pass through. However, it is essential to understand that the success of this surgery depends on the extent of your damage.
· Intrauterine insemination
Intrauterine insemination also referred to as artificial insemination, is a method that involves inserting sperm directly into your womb using a plastic tube. Doing so bypasses the cervix. The procedure begins with collecting sperm and ensuring you wash it in a fluid. The best sperms are then selected, especially those that are moving fast. The reason for inserting sperms directly into your uterus is to bypass some problems in the female reproductive system that might prevent them from reaching the uterus. Afterward, the sperms swim to the fallopian tube for fertilization.
· In vitro fertilization
In vitro fertilization involves fertilizing an egg outside the body. Usually, fertility medications are taken to help stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. The eggs are then collected and fertilized with sperm in the lab and then returned to the uterus for implantation. The embryo then grows and develops into a baby.
· Sperm and egg donation
Usually, if your partner has infertility concerns, you can conceive by receiving sperm or eggs from a donor. Treatment with donor eggs is administered using in vitro fertilization. Egg or sperm donation can also be considered when either of the partners has genetic disorders that might be passed to the unborn baby. Doing so helps eliminate the chances of passing the genes.
