What are the treatments for infertility?
There are three main types of fertility treatment:
- medicines
- surgical procedures
- assisted conception – including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF)
Medicines
Common fertility medicines include:
- Clomiphene – encourages the monthly release of an egg (ovulation) in women who do not ovulate regularly or cannot ovulate at all.
- Letrozole – an alternative to clomiphene that may be offered if you have ovulation problems
- Metformin – is particularly beneficial for women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Gonadotrophins – can help stimulate ovulation in women, and may also improve fertility in men
- Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and dopamine agonists – other types of medicine prescribed to encourage ovulation in women
Surgical procedures
There are several types of surgical procedures that may be used to investigate fertility problems and help with fertility. It depend on the cause of problems and extended of disease.
Assisted conception.
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) - Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, involves inserting sperm into the womb via a thin plastic tube passed through the cervix. Sperm is first collected and washed in a fluid, then the best quality of sperm are selected.
- In vitro fertilisation (IVF) - In vitro fertilisation (IVF), is when an egg is fertilised outside the body. Fertility medicine is taken to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual. Eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. A fertilised egg (embryo) is then returned to the womb to grow and develop.
