Understanding Infertility

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive naturally after 1 year or more of unprotected intercourse. Some females with infertility may have irregular menstrual periods or no periods, and males may notice symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as changes in hair growth or sexual function. There are many reasons that can lead to infertility in both males and females. Some causes of infertility are preventable and can be examined, diagnosed, and can be treated with appropriate infertility treatment. The infertility treatments are- IUI, IVF, ICSI, Egg Freezing, LAH (Laser Assisted Hatching), IMSI, PESA/TESA, Sperm Freezing, etc. IVF is an assisted reproductive treatment that uses Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and may be recommended depending on the cause of infertility and individual medical condition.

Step by Step Guide to IVF Procedure

The IVF process is performed to increase the chances of conception. The IVF journey typically consists of several stages and is performed at an IVF center in India.

• Ovarian Stimulation: The process begins by administering medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This increases the chances of retrieving viable eggs for fertilization.
• Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs become mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries under ultrasound in the fertility center by the experts.
• Sperm Collection and Preparation: A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a donor. The sperms are then processed and prepared for fertilization.
• Fertilization: The retrieved eggs and prepared sperm are mixed in a laboratory to facilitate fertilization. This can be done through conventional insemination or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg.
• Embryo Culture: The fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured in the laboratory for a few days. During this time, they are monitored for development and growth.
• Embryo Transfer: The most viable embryos are selected for transfer into the woman’s uterus. This is a relatively simple procedure where the embryos are placed in the uterus using a thin catheter.
• Implantation and Pregnancy Test: Pregnancy occurs if the embryo successfully implants in the uterine lining. A blood test is performed about two weeks after the transfer to confirm pregnancy.

IVF Helps to Treat the Infertility

If you are facing difficulty in conceiving from a longer span of unprotected intercourse or observing infertility factors such as hormonal imbalance, heavy bleeding, or late periods, you must consult an IVF specialist. Here are a few infertility factors discussed as.

Female Factors

• Irregular Menstrual Cycle: Menstrual Cycles usually span four to seven days and occur between between 21 and 35 days; usually occurs after every 28 days. A woman’s periods are irregular if the gap between them is less than 21 days or more than 35 days. Irregular periods may lead to infertility in women.
• PCOS: PCOS is a common problem in females, causing hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, excess androgen levels and cysts in the ovaries. Irregular periods, hormonal imbalance usually lacks in ovulation which makes it difficult to become pregnant.
• Fibroids: Fibroids are a common type of non-cancerous tumor that can develop in a female’s uterus are known as uterine fibroids. While not all fibroids cause symptoms which include- heavy menstruation, back pain, frequent urination or sexual discomfort, may result in problems when conceiving.
• Polyps: Polyps are growths arising from the uterus’s inner wall. The overgrowth of cells in endometrium results in the formation of uterine polyps, which might result in heavy bleeding during the menstrual cycle and even between the cycle. These polyps can lead to abortion and infertility, which can be removed by a surgical procedure.
• Tubal Factor: A blockage in the fallopian tubes prevents the fertilization of eggs and sperm, resulting in tubal factor infertility. Any abnormality in tubes like blockage, adhesions, or distortion can lead to infertility, and can be treated with IVF.
• Genetic Factor: Many couples are unable to conceive and deliver a healthy baby due to genetic factors. An inherited chromosome abnormality may cause problems in conceiving and can be treated with IVF.
• Age Factor: The most important factor determines a woman’s ability to conceive and deliver a healthy baby. The prime reproductive years for women to get pregnant successfully are 25-35. Once you enter your 30s, your chances of conception start to decline.

Male Factors

There are many factors that can lead to infertility in males. Here are a few infertility factors in males:

• Sperm Disorders: Male infertility can be caused majorly by low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or morphology. There are many other factors that might influence the quality of the sperm, i.e., age, physical trauma, chemicals, medications, hormones, diet, and environment.
• Genetic Factor: Genetic abnormalities are complex undertakings due to the wide range of genes involved in the production and transport of healthy sperm. This can be examined with the man’s semen analysis, which indicates deficiencies in sperm count or Motility or Morphology than genetic screening, which may be performed through IVF, to determine the specific genetic cause for male infertility.
• DNA Fragmentation: DNA fragmentation is the most frequent DNA anomaly present in males, associated with poor semen quality, low fertilization rates, and impaired embryo quality. IVF-ICSI with IMSI may be performed to cure the disease.
• Infections: Some infections can interfere with sperm production, or sperm health and can cause scarring that blocks the passage of sperm, which may include- Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Hepatitis-B, and HCV, which can lead to permanent testicular damage, most often sperm can still be retrieved.

Some Of The Infertility Factors Affecting Both Males And Females

• Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle factors such as excess smoking, excessive alcohol intake, drug use, obesity, and exposure to toxins impact fertility levels in both males and females.
• Unexplained Infertility: If all your reports are normal and you are unable to conceive even after multiple cycles of ovulation and intercourse, it is considered unexplained infertility. IVF may be considered as a treatment option based on individual medical evaluation.
