INFERTILITY AND IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

 


In Vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assistive reproductive technology (ART) that not only resolves the issues of infertility but also the conception and birth of a child is possible. This technology demands its process and procedures to be carried out with delicacy and in a controlled laboratory environment. IVF is an advanced medical technology which enables an infertile female or infertile male, or both to get their underlying causes of infertility treated via medications and surgical procedures.IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

In the process of IVF, firstly the sperms from the male partner are obtained and the eggs from the female partner are retrieved out, and then the union of both the eggs and sperms is carried out in an IVF laboratory under a controlled environment to carry out the process of fertilization. Once the occurrence of the fertilization process is identified, the embryo transfer procedure is carried out. The embryo is placed in the lining of the uterus and if implantation occurs, it is considered as the beginning of pregnancy. The female partner along with her newly conceived child is taken care of until the delivery of the IVF-supported baby.

MALE INFERTILITY AND IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

Male partners with the symptoms of infertility may visit the IVF center for respective diagnosis and treatment. The major symptoms of male infertility are related to erection and ejaculation issues, reduced sexual desires, problems with testicles, breathing difficulty, a lesser amount of semen production, etc. A medically infertile male partner becomes the foundation of a childless couple as his female partner becomes unable to conceive a pregnancy. Initially, the treatment covers counseling and medication. However, surgery for the treatment of testicles and sperm production is also carried out. IVF technology assists in the increased production of testosterone hormones hence increasing the sperm count and quality. In cases where pregnancy is still unachievable, fertilization of eggs and sperm is carried out in the laboratory and then later placed within the female reproductive system.

 


FEMALE INFERTILITY AND IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

Female infertility is diagnosed when the symptoms are relating to the irregular and insufficient menstrual period, skin and hair issues, over or under weightage, chronic pelvic pains, vaginal pain during intercourse, etc. The female partner diagnosed with infertility may be diagnosed with one or more underlying causes of infertility. Ovarian failure is a serious cause where there is insufficient production of eggs in the ovulation period. IVF treatment provides medications for increasing the amount of egg production during the ovulation period. If pregnancy is still unobtainable naturally, then IVF procedures collect the eggs from female ovaries and carry out their fertilization with the sperms of her male partner in a laboratory.

The same collection and fertilization process is followed in IVF treatment in case of blockage or damage in uterine walls or fallopian tubes. The tumors or blockages are surgically removed and the fertilized embryo is implanted within the uterus lining. The IVF process closely monitors the whole IVF procedure and the health of the mother and the conceived child.  In either case, the IVF procedure follows precise observation until the pregnancy is carried out to its full term.

The IVF process can be adopted by couples with either primary infertility issues or secondary infertility disorders. Primary infertility is a state of infertility where the couple is unable to conceive pregnancy even after a yearlong struggle. Whereas secondary infertility is a case where a couple has naturally conceived or delivered the child earlier but is now unable to conceive pregnancy even after one year of unprotected sex.



Even in the case of Unexplained Infertility, the success stories of IVF reveals that couples with unexplained infertility issues are able to naturally conceive a child after getting treatment via medicines and injections. However, the IVF surgical procedures of carrying out the fertilization process in a laboratory has enabled couples to achieve pregnancy and live birth of a child.
