Fertility treatments are directed to
the specific problem.
If a blockage is preventing an egg
or sperm from moving through
the tube this can be overcome
by either tuboplasty (please see
www.tuboplasty.com)
or IVF.
In cases of Polycystic ovaries
there are immature eggs but
no ovulation. This can be
treated medically.
Polyps, fibroids or a septum can be
present in the uterine cavity and
could prevent implantation.
These can be surgically removed.
Adhesions, endometriosis or
endometrioma would also
need to be treated.
Cervical, uterine or tubal infections
also need to be treated.
OVULATION PROBLEMS are addressed
by medical treatment.
Hormonal problems can be related to
the thyroid, prolactin or male hormones.
Some of the approaches are listed:
Clomiphene citrate
Human menopausal gonadotropin
Follicle stimulating hormone
Human chorionic gonadotropin
ART ( Assisted Reproduction Technologies)
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
Treatment plan needs to be individualized
based on the specific conditions present.
