According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility occurs when, after a year of regular unprotected intercourse without apparent organic disorders, pregnancy does not happen in a partnership. If there are no other health issues such as testicular cancer or a history of chemotherapy in the partner, a medical examination of both partners is recommended only after this period of unsuccessful attempts.
For women over 35 or those with evident organic disorders (e.g., PCOS), fertility assessment is advised after six months.
Fertility treatment is a significant challenge both psychologically and medically for patients and their partners. At Centralgyn, we are here to support you. The goals of infertility treatment are:
Identify and treat the cause of infertility if possible.
Increase the likelihood of conception.
Reduce the time until conception
Before proceeding, a comprehensive investigation into the causes of infertility in both women and men is necessary. Even if no specific cause is found, couples can still undergo medical treatment.
Alternatively, physicians may employ assisted reproductive techniques, such as:
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): In this technique, only the most active sperm are selected and directly inserted into the uterus.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): This involves stimulating the ovaries to mature eggs, retrieving mature eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in culture dishes (in vitro), and then implanting one or more fertilized eggs into the woman's uterus.
During fertility treatment, one or both partners may feel frustrated and emotionally tense, oscillating between hope and despair. These challenges can be alleviated by involving both partners and keeping them informed about the treatment process and duration. At Centralgyn, we provide support regardless of which partner the problem is diagnosed with.
Important Note: CentralGyn does not perform IVF or IUI procedures but collaborates with fertility centers dedicated to these specific tasks. We accompany and advise you throughout the process, and this collaboration has proven to be highly effective.
