Fertility Treatments

IVF Treatments

IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to help individuals or couples conceive a child. It involves combining eggs and sperm outside the body in a laboratory to create an embryo, which is then implanted into the uterus.

Signs & Symptoms

In Women, common signs of reproductive or hormonal issues may include:

Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
Unexplained weight changes
Hormonal imbalances (e.g., acne, excessive hair growth)
Recurrent miscarriages

In men, common signs of potential fertility issues include:

Low sperm count or motility
Erectile dysfunction or other sexual problems
Pain or swelling in the testicular area
Hormonal issues like decreased facial or body hair

Causes

Infertility can be due to various factors affecting either partner:

In Women:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Endometriosis
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
Uterine abnormalities
Hormonal imbalances

In Men:

Low sperm count or poor sperm quality
Blockages in the reproductive tract
Genetic factors
Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol, stress)
Testicular injuries or infections

When to seek medical attention?

If a woman under 35 has been trying to conceive for 12 months or more.
If a woman over 35 has been trying to conceive for 6 months.
Known medical conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or previous pelvic infections.
History of miscarriages.
Irregular menstrual cycles or signs of hormonal imbalances.

Diagnostics & Tests

For Women:

Blood tests to check hormone levels (FSH, LH, AMH, TSH, etc.)
Ultrasound to assess ovarian and uterine health
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to evaluate fallopian tube patency
Laparoscopy to check for endometriosis or pelvic adhesions

For Men:

Semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology
Hormonal tests (testosterone and FSH levels)
Testicular ultrasound to detect abnormalities

Frequently Asked Questions For IVF Treatments

Success rates vary depending on age, underlying conditions, and clinic expertise. For women under 35, success rates are around 50%.

While some discomfort is expected during egg retrieval and injections, the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

A single IVF cycle typically takes about 4-6 weeks.

In some countries, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) allows gender selection, but it is regulated and not permitted everywhere.

Side effects may include bloating, cramping, mood swings, and mild spotting. Severe effects like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) are rare.

IVF is generally safe, but there’s a slightly increased risk of multiple pregnancies and premature birth.

Typically, one or two embryos are transferred to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Most individuals can continue working, but avoiding stress and heavy physical tasks during key stages is advisable.

Alternatives include IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), fertility medications, or donor egg/sperm options.

Coverage varies widely by country, insurance provider, and specific policies.
