Fertility struggles are caused by underlying conditions related to hormones, reproductive organs, and more.
Advances in modern medicine means that there are now many effective treatments for common infertility conditions. Ranging from hormone therapy and medications to laparoscopic surgery and IVF, there are many treatments available.
To treat common conditions, doctors typically start with the simplest, least invasive treatment options. If necessary, you try progressively complex therapies to achieve pregnancy.
Treatments for common conditions depend on the diagnosis and unique situation of the person experiencing infertility. PCOS, for example, may be treated first with diet and lifestyle changes. Some women with PCOS also experience insulin resistance. In these cases, medications commonly used for the treatment of diabetes may help. Yet, for other women with PCOS, ovulation is the main concern. In this case, hormone therapy can help the body ovulate normally. For the best chances of conception, your doctor may recommend intrauterine insemination along with ovulation stimulation. When ovulation isn’t possible, other therapies such as IVF can help women with PCOS to conceive.
Endometriosis is another common cause of infertility in women. Treatment options for this condition also vary depending on the severity of the condition. Sometimes, women can achieve a natural pregnancy after laparoscopic surgery to remove endometrial tissue. In other cases, IVF may be used to assist pregnancy.
