Infertility & Miscarriage
Infertility and miscarriage can be emotionally challenging experiences. At New World Fertility Centre, Delhi, we understand the complexities of these issues and are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support to couples facing these difficulties.
Infertility
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. It can affect both men and women and can be caused by a variety of factors.
Common Causes of Infertility
Female Infertility:
- Ovulation disorders
- Fallopian tube blockages
- Endometriosis
- Uterine abnormalities
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Premature ovarian failure
Male Infertility:
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm quality
- Obstructions in the reproductive tract
- Hormonal imbalances
Diagnosing Infertility
If you've been trying to conceive for over a year without success, it's important to consult with a fertility specialist. They will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of infertility. This may involve:
- Medical history review
- Physical examination
- Hormone tests
- Semen analysis
- Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram)
Treatment Options for Infertility
Based on the diagnosis, your fertility specialist will recommend appropriate treatment options. These may include:
Lifestyle changes: Addressing factors such as weight, diet, exercise, and stress can improve fertility.
Medications: Hormonal medications can help regulate ovulation and address underlying conditions.
Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct structural abnormalities or remove blockages.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): ART techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) can help couples with infertility.
Miscarriage
A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. It can be a devastating experience, and it's important to seek support and understanding.
Common Causes of Miscarriage
- Chromosomal abnormalities: The most common cause of miscarriage is chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
- Hormonal imbalances
- Uterine abnormalities
- Infections
- Underlying medical conditions
Coping with Miscarriage
Coping with miscarriage can be emotionally challenging. It's important to allow yourself time to grieve and seek support from loved ones or a mental health professional.
Preventing Future Miscarriages
While not all miscarriages can be prevented, certain steps can be taken to reduce the risk:
Preconception care: Consult with your doctor before attempting pregnancy to address any underlying health issues.
Healthy lifestyle: Maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and manage stress.
Prenatal care: Regular prenatal care can help monitor your pregnancy and identify potential problems early on.
