Infertility is a curse; but can be treated. Today science is so advanced that if couples have confidence on self and doctor, they will definitely be blessed with child.There are many reasons for infertility and similarly different treatment for each cause. In some cases male factor, in some cases female factor and in few cases both partners have some problems. When couples take treatment 50% of them conceive with some medication and counseling regarding fertile period. Rest of the patient needs blood test, semen analysis, and test like HSg i.e Hysterosalphingohgraphy to check potency of tubes. Few patients need Laparohysteroscopy for diagnosing and treating conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and adhesions. TB is common cause for infertility in India and can be treated with medicines after proper diagnosis.
After all testing once we know the reason then different type of treatment is offered:-
o IUI (Intra Uterine Insemination) – In this female is given medicine to induce ovulation and male semen is processed in lab to improve quality of semen by concentrating sperms. This method is useful in mild oligospermic males, in females if cervical factor or in unexplained fertility or coital problems.
o IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) – ‘Popularly known as Test Tube Baby’. It is very advanced technology. In this female eggs are removed from ovary under anesthesia and fertilized with male sperm in a Petri dish and then kept in incubator and checked for fertilization after 24 hrs. After 48-72 hrs 4-8 cell embryo are transferred into female uterus and then pregnancy takes it natural course.
o ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) with TESA/MESA/PESA – These are very advanced procedures in which a single sperm is injected into a single egg cytoplasm, which fertilize the egg and then rest of the procedure is same as in IVF. It is especially useful in males where sperm count is very low in semen.
Egg donor / Sperm donor / Surrogate mother / Sperm freezing / Embryo freezing are other advanced procedure for treatment of Infertility. Babies born out of these procedures are as normal as any other baby. First Test tube baby, ‘Lowis Brown’ now herself is a mother.
