Frequently Asked Questions
Ideal candidates include women with blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or advanced maternal age. Fertility specialists evaluate each case individually based on medical history, diagnostic tests, and treatment goals.
IVF success rates vary by age, with women under 35 having higher success rates (40-50% per cycle) compared to older women. Success depends on factors like egg quality, sperm parameters, uterine health, and clinic expertise.
Preparation includes comprehensive fertility testing, lifestyle optimization, nutritional supplementation, medication protocols, and psychological counseling. Pre-treatment evaluation helps identify and address factors that could affect treatment success.
Common risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancies, ectopic pregnancy, and medication side effects. Most complications are rare and manageable with proper medical supervision and advanced monitoring techniques.
Common causes include varicocele, hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, infections, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposures. Approximately 40-50% of infertility cases involve male factors, making comprehensive evaluation essential for couples.
Evaluation includes semen analysis, hormone testing, physical examination, genetic testing, and imaging studies when indicated. Detailed assessment helps identify specific causes and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
Treatments range from lifestyle modifications and medications to surgical interventions and assisted reproductive techniques. Options include varicocele repair, hormone therapy, sperm retrieval procedures, and ICSI for severe cases.
Lifestyle factors significantly impact sperm quality including diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress levels, and environmental exposures. Optimizing these factors can improve fertility outcomes naturally.
Men should seek evaluation after 6-12 months of unsuccessful conception attempts, or immediately if known risk factors exist like previous surgeries, infections, or medical conditions affecting fertility.
Main causes include ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, age-related factors, and hormonal imbalances. Each condition requires specific diagnostic approaches and treatment strategies.
Assessment includes hormone testing, ovarian reserve evaluation, pelvic ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram, and sometimes laparoscopy. Comprehensive testing identifies specific factors affecting fertility.
Treatments include ovulation induction, surgical procedures, lifestyle modifications, and assisted reproductive technologies. Treatment choice depends on diagnosis, age, and individual circumstances.
Age significantly affects egg quality and quantity, with fertility declining after age 35 and more rapidly after 40. Earlier intervention and fertility preservation options can help address age-related challenges.
Natural optimization includes maintaining healthy weight, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, avoiding harmful substances, and tracking ovulation cycles for optimal timing.
