IVF process is considered as an effective solution to those who can’t conceive naturally, like same-sex couples, single mother or single father. This treatment is also offered as a primary treatment for infertility to those women who are in their late 30’s. IVF treatment was initially developed to treat women with the tubal disease. Nowadays, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) can help couples with different types of infertility. For some diseases and conditions, IVF is the first line of treatment, while in other cases, IVF is recommended only when the simple treatments are ineffective. IVF is commonly recommended for the following factors : Fallopian Tube Damage or Blockage In medical terminology, a damaged or blocked fallopian tube is known as Tubal occlusion which can be one possible reason for female’s infertility. Fallopian tube plays a vital role in conception as the eggs are fertilized here which results in pregnancy. If the fallopian tube gets damaged due to any possible reason, such as infection or by surgery, they get blocked due to scar tissue. This restricts an embryo to travel from the ovary to the uterus or an egg to get fertilized, causing infertility. IVF uses the implantation procedure to overcome this type of problem. Ovulatory Disorders A female succeeds at being a mother when she gets pregnant, which is due to ovulation. But if one fails to conceive after frequent tries, it is considered infertility. There are no outward signs or symptoms to signify it, this can only be signified by a period of a menstrual cycle which is too short, too long, absent or irregular. In IVF, medications are given to women having ovulatory disorders to increase the production of eggs or in some cases donor eggs are used for the fertilization process. Endometriosis The uterus is lined with a layer of cells called endometrium, where the embryo grows and develops resulting in pregnancy. Endometriosis is a disorder in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, this causes infertility. The primary symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain that’s worse than usual menstrual pain. Uterine Fibroids In medical term fibroids known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are abnormal noncancerous growths of the uterus. These benign growths inside or outside the uterine wall are common for the 30s and 40s woman. The growth of fibroids varies in sizes from seedling to bulky masses. Sometimes, fibroids expand so big that it causes severe pain, heavy periods and can interfere with implantation in the IVF process. Previous Tubal Sterilization or Removal Tubal sterilization is a method to control birth permanently. In this method fallopian tubes are cut and tied to avoid pregnancy; it is medically referred to as Tube ligation. IVF is the best alternative to those women who want to conceive again after this procedure. Impaired Sperm Production or Function The inability to conceive a child is not only due to female infertility, sometimes male infertility can also play a vital role. Low sperm count, low quality sperm or blockages in the vas deferens are considered to be the cause of male infertility. Infertility arises due to various factors such as lifestyle, injuries, chronic diseases, illnesses, and other factors. Unexplained Infertility Unexplained infertility as the name suggests remains unexplained. It is idiopathic infertility which means, its cause remains unknown even after proper evaluation. Genetic Disorder Genetic disorders are serious issues as it passes on hierarchically. If you want to avoid this to pass on to your child, IVF procedure is the solution in which you have to go through preimplantation genetic testing. In this procedure, embryos are screened to detect genetic problems and those which do not contain any defects are implanted into the uterus. Fertility Preservation for Cancer or Other Health Conditions If you are diagnosed with cancer and are going to start it’s treatment, fertility preservation is the best option to go with. This is because while going through the treatment procedure, your body is exposed to radiation or chemotherapy which may harm your fertility. This can be frozen in two states, either by storing eggs and sperm or embryos for future use. Surrogacy Some women face serious complications during pregnancy due to their health conditions. So, with the help of surrogacy, they can feel the joy of being a parent. About surrogates, they are basically of two types, traditional surrogates are those women who get pregnant using her egg and sperm from the male partner of the couple. The second one is a gestational carrier. They are just a carrier of the baby.
