Treat Female Infertility

In the Hendersons’ case, the couple was able to successfully undergo infertility treatment in the past and now have one child, yet failed to see gains from a similar treatment covered by Clarion the second time. Consequently, the Hendersons were advised to seek a more involved, costly procedure in relation to the previous treatment; however, there was little medical evidence presented regarding the success rate and medical necessity for the recommended treatment.

It is assumed by most that we will all be able to grow up, fall in love, get married, and then have children of our own. This is not the lifestyle that all people choose, but it is still the view accepted by the majority of society. What happens when the unthinkable occurs and a happily married couple is unable to get pregnant? This is a reality for 7.1%, or 2.8 million, of the married couples in the United States (Lenox, 1999). Today, there are many people all over the world that decide to use fertility treatments to help them conceive a child, and this often leads to the birth of twins, triplets, or even higher order multiples. There are many risk factors that are involved in this type of

Making big choices in life can be difficult, especially if that big choice is having children. There are many men and women who are infertile that still want to have children. Most decide to adopt other children who do not have families or their families do not want them. But when adoption is not an option, there is now a way where those men and women can have their own children together through fertility treatments. Fertility treatments could be a good thing:being able to freeze egg and sperm, they can help infertile couples, and avoiding transmitted diseases would be easier.

Infertility is the incapability or failure conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse or due to an impairment a person’s capacity to reproduce either as an individual or with his/her partner. While infertility can cause issues in men and women, women are more susceptible to having issues conceiving naturally. 1 in 8 women (or 12% of married couples) have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy (2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth, CDC). There is a process in which three stages such as ovulation, fertilization, and implantation that a women’s body must go through to get pregnant. When there are issues in these stages, infertility is diagnosed and examined by a doctor therefore, making it hard to conceive a baby naturally. Throughout this paper, I will explain three common causes of infertility in females like endometriosis, sexual transmitted diseases, and poor nutrition.

The number one cause of infertility in women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is an endocrine disorder, which affects 7%, or one out of fifteen, women in the population. CITE Although reducing body weight by 10% has shown to improve frequency of ovulation and chances of conception, this is one of the few nonmedical interventions a women can try in order to improve the possibility for pregnancy. All other forms of treatment require a medical or pharmaceutical

A multidisciplinary approach is taken to provide safe, effective treatment while minimizing patient risk. Patients are treated due to chronic pelvic pain issues, with or without subfertility considerations. The FNP can prescribe NSAIDS to address pelvic pain issues. Steroid hormone derived medications like oral contraceptives are also prescribed to suppress growth and activity of the endometrial implants and provide cycle control. If this approach is ineffective, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists like Leuprolide can be prescribed for up to a year to significantly decrease estrogen levels, thereby decreasing chronic pelvic pain (Solnik, 2015). However, the FNP can also counsel hormone therapy to reduce menopausal effects on bone mineral density and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to address vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes Another effective hormonal pharmaceutical therapy includes progesterone like medroxyprogesterone acetate and anti-progestin. As well, in advanced disease the FNP may elect to implant the levonorgestrel intrauterine device (IUD) as a progestin derived alternative (Schenken,

Surgical interventions usually include a hysterectomy or removal of endometrial tissue from foreign locations. Clients need to be fully aware that a hysterectomy will render them sterile, and they will no longer have the option of conception. Each client needs to weight the benefits of having this procedure versus the drug therapy. If the side effects of the drugs are not acceptable and they no longer wish to conceive, a hysterectomy would be a good choice.

Infertility can be extremely challenging for couples to overcome. It can be not only physically draining, but emotionally and mentally as well. Infertility can be easily compared to a roller coaster, with emotions going up and down from hope and optimism plummeting down to frustration and even grief after many the couple has tried for a long period of time. While for me personally, I first think of women when I think of infertility, the men play a large role as well. They are also hoping for children and the biological reason for the infertility can be from either sex. Research has also shown that infertility can make physically difficult and cause anxiety in couples, which could led to increased difficulty in conceiving (Domar & Gordon,

(iii) Women that are depressed due to infertility can enjoy a better quality of life given the choice of using reproductive technologies in their marriage, family, and home life.

Infertility is the inability to naturally concieve a child, or to carry a pregnancy full term. This could be down to the male in the partnership, the female, or in some cases, both. Infertility affects approximately 10% of people of reproductive age. Roughly 40% of cases involve a male contribution or factor, 40% involve a female factor, and the remainder involve both sexes. There are several different reasons why a couple may be unable to concieve naturally, if a woman is unable to concieve it may be down to general factors - for example, significant liver disease, Ovarian Factors such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Cervical factors such as Insufficient cervical mucus, Vaginal factors such as Vaginal Obstruction or Genetic factors. If

This study tested 22 adults, 16 women and 6 men, ages ranged from 22-45 years’ old who had experienced infertility at one time. The subjects were interviewed face-to-face in a comfortable environment. The interviews lasted approximately 60-90 minutes and all interviews focused on the same topics and discussion points. The results of the interview were split into three main categories; competence, or the ability to do something efficiently, autonomy, freedom from external control, and relatedness. In terms of competence, the subjects being interviewed tended to agree that sex stopped being intimate and started being about a goal that they set. Sex was now about success or failure and if the couple was not able to conceive it was considered

Infertility happens more than people are aware of, and is an emotional rollercoaster for the couple going through the stressful situation. Many couples seek counseling because of the spiritual crisis they endure, and the questioning of life’s purpose (Romeiro, J. et.al, 2017). Six percent of couples trying to conceive for a year, without success, have to seek a reproductive endocrinologist, a specialist who manages infertility patients (Center for Disease Control, 2018). If the woman is 35years old, she should only wait six months, before seeing an infertility specialist (Center for Disease Control, 2018). Also, if a women has two, or more spontaneous miscarriages, reproductive endocrinology specialist, should be sought (Center for Disease Control, 2018). These are not the only reasons for assisted reproductive technologies. In this day and age, there could be other reasons for seeking infertility technologies, such as being a single parent wanting a child, or being an LGBT couple, wanting to have a family.

Infertility is widespread: about 7% of married couples in the United States are unable to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse (Purdy, 2001, Bioethics of New Assisted Reproduction). In Vitro Fertilization is used when a women has irreparably damaged fallopian
