Understanding Infertility

---

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected coitus. It is estimated that 15% of couples experience difficulty achieving conception. Fortunately, in most cases, the cause of infertility can be identified and treated.

In our country, one out of every six couples will have a problem with infertility. However, advances in assisted reproductive technology [ART] have made it possible for the vast majority of couples who have been diagnosed with infertility to fulfill their dreams of having a family.

In most cases, simple tests performed by a reproductive endocrinologist can determine the cause of infertility within a few weeks. Treatment, based on the outcome of these tests, can be as simple as using medication to induce ovulation, or more advanced treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

We believe knowledge about infertility is an invaluable tool when initiating and undergoing fertility treatment and we encourage a full review of the information provided on our website. With this knowledge in hand, you can approach treatment with less fear and apprehension; you will have a better understanding of the possible causes for your infertility and of the options before you.

What Can Be Done To Treat Your Infertility Problem?

The first step in treatment is to treat any problems which have been specifically diagnosed by the testing. Following treatment of specific problems, further management often involves controlled ovarian stimulation using fertility drugs combined with partner insemination. This helps insure that sperm and eggs meet at the appropriate time in the fallopian tubes of the woman on the day of ovulation. There are many additional treatment plans that can be undertaken if controlled ovarian stimulation and partner insemination does not result in pregnancy. Depending upon individual situations, such treatments may include gamete intra-fallopian tube transfer (GIFT), in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), zygote intra-fallopian tube transfer (ZIFT), laparoscopic or laparotomy treatment of pelvic factors, and others.
