There is a wide range of treatment options available for both men and women.
Some of the options for treating infertility in men could include:
-
Lifestyle Changes:
Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and reducing stress can improve sperm quality.
-
Medication:
Medications can be prescribed to address hormonal imbalances that affect sperm production or function, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual problems contributing to infertility.
-
Surgery:
Surgical procedures can be performed to correct blockages in the tube carrying sperm or other anatomical abnormalities impacting sperm transport. Referrals can be provided to Urologists, if required.
-
Sperm Retrieval Techniques:
These techniques are used if a man cannot ejaculate sperm or has very low sperm counts.
-
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ICSI):
These procedures involve manipulating sperm and eggs outside the body to achieve fertilisation.
Some of the options for treating infertility in women could include:
-
Lifestyle Changes:
Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress can improve overall health and potentially increase fertility.
-
Medication:
Fertility medications can stimulate ovulation in women with irregular or absent ovulation, regulate menstrual cycles, or address hormonal imbalances.
-
Surgery:
If required, surgical procedures may be recommended to correct endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or uterine polyps that may interfere with conception.
-
Ovulation Induction:
Medications or injectable hormones can be used to stimulate ovulation in women who do not ovulate regularly on their own.
-
Intrauterine Insemination:
Washed sperm is inserted directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilisation.
-
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF):
As mentioned for male infertility, IVF is a common ART procedure used to achieve the creation of embryos outside the body.
-
Donor Eggs or Sperm:
If a woman has poor egg quality or a man has absent sperm, using donor eggs or sperm can be an option for achieving pregnancy.
