Infertility Treatment

medicine, Ovulation inducing drugs are prescribed to women with
anovulation or oligoovulation. Drugs used are Clomiphine citrate,
Human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG), Gonadotrophin releasing
hormone (GnRH), Bromocryptine and Corticosteroids. These drugs may
cause side-effects such as, hot-flushes, visual blurring, abdominal
pain or bloating, Urticaria and hair loss.
Surgical treatment for Female
Infertility
- Cervical dilatation and uterine
curettage (D&C) may be useful in cases with intracervical
fibrous ring obstruction.
- Fenton's operation is resorted
to for tight hymeneal ring with vaginismus in newly married women,
where penile entry into the vagina is incomplete or
impossible.
- Myomectomy is recommended in
young women where sub mucus fibromyoma is found as the only
reason.
- Tuboplasty is performed to
remove tubal blocks.
- Cervical suture operation is
recommended in cases of repeated mid pregnancy abortions due to
cervical incompetence.
Micro surgical wedge resection on
ovaries in polycystic ovarian disease and ovarian cystectomy in
case of chocolate cysts is usually recommended.
Treatment for Male
Infertility
- For low sperm count, Clomiphene
tablets are usually prescribed to stimulate
Spermatogenesis.
- Testosterone is also prescribed,
but it has not been documented to be effective.
- Impotence due to psychosis or
use of antidepressants, hypotensives and tranquilizers is usually
corrected by controlled use of these drugs.
- In immunological infertility,
corticosteroid therapy is resorted to.
- Obstruction of Epididymus or vas
is corrected surgically in case of obstructive
azoospermia
- In case of oligozoospermia,
artificial insemination of the male partner is offered as an
option.

donors (AID) is advised in azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia.
