Assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is any fertility treatment in which the egg and s***m are handled. There are several types of ART.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common ART technique. IVF involves stimulating and retrieving multiple mature eggs, fertilizing them with s***m in a dish in a lab, and implanting the embryos in the uterus several days after fertilization.
The indications include:
• Blocked /damaged Fallopian tubes, Inoperable tubes or where the tubes have been removed due to ectopic pregnancy.
• Endometriosis
• Mild- Moderate Male factor infertility.
• Unexplained infertility.

Other techniques are sometimes used in an IVF cycle, such as:
• Intracytoplasmic s***m injection (ICSI). A single healthy s***m is injected directly into a mature egg. ICSI is often used when there is poor semen quality or quantity, or if fertilization attempts during prior IVF cycles failed.
It is indicated in:
• Couples who have failed to achieve fertilization or poor fertilization after conventional IVF treatment.
• Men with abnormal s***m parameters.
• Azoos***mic men.

• Assisted hatching. This technique assists the implantation of the embryo into the lining of the uterus by opening the outer covering of the embryo (hatching).
• Donor eggs or s***m. Most ART is done using a couple's own eggs and s***m. However, if there are severe problems with either the eggs or the s***m, you may choose to use eggs, s***m or embryos from a known or anonymous donor.
• Gestational carrier. Women who don't have a functional uterus or for whom pregnancy poses a serious health risk might choose IVF using a gestational carrier. In this case, the couple's embryo is placed in the uterus of the carrier for pregnancy.

Uterine fibroids : PART 1

Overview

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). The growths are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue, and vary in size. They're sometimes known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas. Many women are unaware they have fibroids because they don't have any symptoms.

Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. You can have a single fibroid or multiple ones. In extreme cases, multiple fibroids can expand the uterus so much that it reaches the rib cage.
Many women have uterine fibroids sometime during their lives. But most women don't know they have uterine fibroids because they often cause no symptoms. Your doctor may discover fibroids incidentally during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.
Symptoms
Many women who have fibroids don't have any symptoms. In those that do, symptoms can be influenced by the location, size and number of fibroids. In women who have symptoms, the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Menstrual periods lasting more than a week
• Pelvic pressure or pain
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty emptying the bladder
• Constipation
• Backache or leg pains
Rarely, a fibroid can cause acute pain when it outgrows its blood supply, and begins to die.
Fibroids are generally classified by their location. Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular uterine wall. Submucosal fibroids bulge into the uterine cavity. Subserosal fibroids project to the outside of the uterus.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have:
• Pelvic pain that doesn't go away
• Overly heavy, prolonged or painful periods
• Spotting or bleeding between periods
• Difficulty emptying your bladder
Seek prompt medical care if you have severe vaginal bleeding or sharp pelvic pain that comes on suddenly.

What is secondary infertility?

Secondary infertility is the inability to become pregnant or to carry a baby to term after previously giving birth to a baby. Secondary infertility shares many of the same causes of primary infertility.

What are the causes of secondary infertility?

The causes for secondary infertility are often the same as for primary infertility, including:
• Ovulation problems, including Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
• Endometriosis.
• Pelvic adhesions.
• Uterine fibroids or polyps.
• Diminished ovarian reserve.
• Low s***m count.
• Ejaculatory problems.

Is secondary infertility curable?

However, in secondary infertility you're unable to conceive or carry a baby to full-term after having a previous successful pregnancy. Infertility can be caused by either the man or woman. Treatment options can include medications to induce ovulation, in vitro fertilization (IVF) or surgery.
