How to treat infertility to save time

Infertility is a problem that affects many married couples who have never had a baby. This condition is interpreted as a reproductive system disorder characterized by the inability of married couples to get pregnant after 12 months or more of sexual intercourse without contraception.

Infertility can be caused by many things and the causes are different for men and women. Here are some of the causes of infertility divided by gender.

The cause of pregnancy is difficult for men and women
Infertility can be caused by male and female conditions. If infertility occurs in men, the following factors may be the cause:

• A small amount of spermatozoa
• Poor spermatozoa circulation
• Abnormal sperm
• Sperm prospect is blocked

Meanwhile, problems that often make pregnancy difficult for women include:

• An ovary that does not produce eggs regularly
• Blocked fallopian tubes
• Cervical or uterine problems

5 methods of pregnancy programs that you can try

Depending on where the problem is that pregnancy has not yet occurred, there are several methods of pregnancy programs that you can try to get pregnant:
 
1. Medication to help ovulation

The doctor will recommend medicines or fertility hormone injections to facilitate ovulation. There are various types of drugs depending on the advice and recommendations of the doctor.

Remember that in some women, an increase in fertility hormones can result in the release of more than one egg, which means that the couple may have twins or more.

2. Falsified Falopi horn operation

If the fallopian tubes are obstructed, the egg cannot go down into the uterus and fertilization of sperm cannot occur. This condition can occur in women with a condition called endometriosis or have pelvic infection.

The problem of fallopian tube blockage can be solved by surgery. The doctor will try to "clear" the fallopian tubes to increase the chance of pregnancy.
 
3. Intrauterine Insemination / Artificial Insemination (IUI)
This procedure is quite popular as the couple's first choice for treating fertility problems. Artificial insemination is usually done under conditions of low sperm count or low motility.

In this procedure, sperm will be inserted directly into the uterus with the help of a doctor to facilitate fertilization. The main purpose of artificial insemination is to increase the number of sperm that can enter the fallopian tubes, so as to increase the chances of fertilization.

4. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) / IVF
This option is usually the choice recommended by the doctor if other non-invasive procedures are not successful. This procedure involves the procedure of collecting eggs and then a combination of oocytes and sperm cells in the laboratory.

After fertilization, the doctor places the embryo in the uterus. IVF is a more complex procedure and therefore more expensive. According to the Moneysmart website, IVF prices in Indonesia start at Rp. 20 million.

5. ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

This method is performed by doctors who inject sperm directly into eggs in the laboratory. This technique, called ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), will be performed if the male sperm count is very low or if the sperm movement is not good. If the fertilized egg is ready, surgery will be carried out with a normal IVF process to insert the egg into a woman's uterus.

For those of you who want to follow a pregnancy program with fertility therapy as above, do not hesitate to immediately consult with your problem and your partner with your obstetrician. In this way, you will know which type of treatment is most appropriate and most effective for you and your partner's condition.
