Infertility

Infertility treatment Hospital in Yeshwanthpur

Infertility is the inability to conceive. The team of experts at Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, provide complete treatment for women suffering from infertility.  Infertility is typically diagnosed after a couple has failed to conceive after a year of trying. Infertility is usually classified into two types:

  • Primary infertility occurs when a person has never conceived a child before and is having difficulty conceiving.

  • Secondary infertility occurs when a person has had one or more pregnancies in the past but is having difficulty conceiving again.

What causes infertility?

Infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, and fertility issues can affect either partner. However, often in some cases, the definite cause cannot be determined.

The following are some of the most common causes of infertility:

  • Lack of consistent ovulation (the monthly release of an egg) in women.

  • The fallopian tubes of the woman are blocked or damaged.

  • Poor quality sperm production in men.

  • Endometriosis is a condition in women in which the tissue that resembles the lining of the womb (the endometrium) is found outside the womb.

Treatments and Procedure

If you have fertility issues, the treatment you receive will be determined by what is causing the problem and what is best suited for you. Consult with our experts at Manipal Hos[itals, the gynaecology treatment hospital in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore.

There are three main types of fertility treatment:

  • Medicinal ways

  • Surgical procedures 

  • Assisted conception procedures such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Medicinal ways

Some medicines can be suggested by doctors to increase the chances of conception. However, some of these medications can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, and hot flashes. Consult your doctor for more information on the potential side effects of specific medications.

Medicine that stimulates the ovaries is not recommended for women who are infertile for unexplained reasons because it has not been shown to increase the chances of becoming pregnant.

Surgical procedures 

Several surgical procedures may be used to evaluate fertility issues and assist with fertility.

  • Fallopian tube surgery

If your fallopian tubes are blocked or scarred, surgical procedures can be used to repair them. Surgery would help break up scar tissue in your fallopian tubes, allowing eggs to pass through more easily. The extent of the damage to your fallopian tubes will determine the success of the surgery.

  • Surgery to treat endometriosis

Surgery to treat endometriosis, fibroids, and PCOS -Endometriosis occurs when sections of the womb lining begin to grow outside of the womb. Endometriosis is frequently treated with laparoscopic surgery, which involves the destruction or removal of fluid-filled sacs known as cysts. It can also be used to remove submucosal fibroids, which are small womb growths. If ovulation medicine has not worked for you or if you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a minor surgical procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling can be used to treat the condition. This involves destroying a portion of the ovary with either heat or a laser.

  • Correcting an epididymal blockage and surgery to retrieve sperm

The epididymis is a coil-like structure located in the testicles that aid in sperm storage and transport. When the epididymis becomes blocked, sperm cannot be ejaculated normally. If the blockage is causing infertility, a surgical procedure can be used to correct it. Surgical extraction of sperm can be an option:

  • If you have an obstruction preventing sperm release

  • If you were born without the sperm-draining tube from the testicle (vas deferens)

  • If you have had a vasectomy or a failed vasectomy reversal

Both procedures take a few hours and are performed as outpatient procedures under local anaesthesia. You will be informed about the quality of the tissue or sperm collected the same day. Any sperm collected will be frozen and stored for later use.

Assisted conception

  • Intrauterine insemination IUI, also known as artificial insemination, involves inserting sperm into the womb through a thin plastic tube passed through the cervix. First, sperm is collected and washed in a fluid. The best quality specimens (those that move the fastest) are chosen.

  • In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the process by which an egg is fertilised outside of the body. Fertility medication stimulates the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual. In a laboratory, eggs are extracted from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm. The fertilised egg (embryo) is then returned to the womb to develop and grow.

  • If you or your partner is having difficulty conceiving, you may be able to receive eggs or sperm from a donor. IVF is typically used for treatment with donor eggs or sperms. Book an appointment at Manipal Hospitals today for the best treatment.
