Infertility is a medical condition that affects both men and women, making it difficult for couples to conceive. For some, fertility treatments may be the only way to achieve their dream of becoming parents.
If you’re considering fertility treatment, we want you to know that you’re not alone — every year, thousands of couples like you choose to pursue fertility treatment, and many go on to have healthy babies.
Infertility is when a male or female cannot conceive due to a problem with the reproductive system of either partner. The main symptom is an inability to get pregnant. In many cases, there are no additional symptoms.
Infertility can be primary or secondary. Primary infertility is when someone is not able to conceive at all. Secondary infertility is when someone has previously conceived but is no longer able to.
Society assumes that when a couple cannot conceive, the issue primarily lies with the woman. This is not true. Infertility can occur both in men and women. We encourage couples to get help together and walk the journey as one.
Treatment for infertility depends on the underlying cause. Sometimes, we may recommend fertility drugs to increase sperm production or overcome hormone imbalances. In other instances, we may be required to perform surgery to remove blockages in the reproductive tract. Besides that, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), may be an option we take.
About 25 per cent of all cases of female infertility are due to problems with ovulation. Ovulation is the process where the ovary releases an egg each month. If this doesn’t happen, then a woman can’t get pregnant.
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that can interfere with ovulation. It’s one of the most common causes of female infertility.
Regardless of the cause of infertility, it can be a challenging and emotional issue. If you have trouble conceiving, you must talk to your doctor about your options. There is help available, and you shouldn’t feel like you’re alone in this.
