Infertility Treatment
Infertility is a condition of the reproductive system that prevents pregnancy. It can affect anyone and has various causes. The process of conception involves several steps:
The brain produces reproductive hormones to control ovarian function.
An egg matures in the ovary.
The ovary releases the egg (ovulation).
The fallopian tube picks up the egg.
Sperm travels through the vagina, uterus, and reaches the fallopian tube.
Fertilization of the egg by sperm creates an embryo.
The embryo travels to the uterus and implants for pregnancy to occur.
What are the types of infertility?
Types of infertility include:
Primary infertility: When you’ve never been pregnant and can’t conceive after one year (or six months if you’re 35 or older) of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse.
Secondary infertility: When you’re unable to get pregnant again after having at least one successful pregnancy.
Unexplained infertility: When fertility testing fails to identify a specific reason why a person or couple is unable to conceive.
