Infertility - Harmony Hormone Care

What is infertility?

Infertility refers to the biological inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to full term after having regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for at least a year. It affects an estimated 15% of couples globally.

There are several potential causes of infertility:

• For women, common causes include problems with ovulation, damage to fallopian tubes or uterus, endometriosis, and issues with the cervix.
• For men, common culprits are low sperm counts, poor sperm motility, and abnormal sperm shape and function.
• In 30-40% cases, infertility is linked to both male and female reproductive issues.
• In 10-15% cases, no cause is identified despite extensive testing - this is termed unexplained infertility.

Diagnosing the underlying cause is crucial for identifying appropriate treatment options. Common diagnostic tests include:

• Semen analysis to evaluate sperm health
• Ovulation testing
  • Hysterosalpingography to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes
• Laparoscopy to detect endometriosis, blockages, and scarring

Depending on test findings, recommended treatments may include:

• Timed intercourse to capitalize the fertile window
• Ovulation-inducing medications like clomiphene or gonadotropins
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
• Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF
• Surgery to repair reproductive organs

The emotional toll of struggling with infertility cannot be underestimated. It can severely impact one's mental health and relationships. Seeking counseling and joining support groups helps many cope better.
