What is Infertility?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
peterhutch asked:


le may be infertile during their reproductive years. They may be unaware of this because they are not seeking to create a pregnancy. On any one occasion, the chance of pregnancy is just one percent. About one in seven couples in the United States are infertile. Age, lifestyle and physical problems can all contribute to infertility.

Infertility Cancer and its treatment may sometimes put female survivors at risk for infertility. Infertility means not being able to get pregnant or maintain a pregnancy, usually after you have been trying for over a year. There are many different causes for infertility in cancer survivors. While it’s best to discuss your risk for infertility before treatment begins, there are still options for cancer survivors who may experience infertility as a result of cancer or its treatment.

Infertility affects approximately 10% of the population. Since infertility strikes diverse groups-affecting people from all socioeconomic levels and cutting across all racial, ethnic and religious lines- chances are great that a friend, relative, neighbor or perhaps you are attempting to cope with the medical and emotional aspects of infertility.

If you’ve been trying to conceive for more than a year, there’s a chance that something may be interfering with your efforts to have a child. Infertility may be due to a single cause in either you or your partner, or a combination of factors that may prevent a pregnancy from occurring or continuing.

Infertility or possible infertility may affect you emotionally. If you want to have children, it’s perfectly understandable if thinking about being infertile makes you feel sad or upset. This document outlines the physical causes of infertility and options for survivors who may have difficulty having children. It does not explain how infertility can affect you emotionally, which is something you may want to discuss with a mental health professional.

Causes of infertility can be found in about 90% of infertility cases but, despite extensive tests, about 10% of couples will never know why they cannot conceive. Between 10 – 30% of cases of infertility have more than one cause. Male or female infertility each account for about 30 – 40% of cases. In men, ***** defects (their quality and quantity) are usually responsible. Female infertility is more complex.

Roughly one-third of infertility cases can be attributed to male factors and another one-third to factors that affect women. For the remaining infertile couples, infertility is caused by a combination of problems in both partners (about 13%) or is unexplained (about 10%). The most common causes of male infertility include azoospermia (no ***** cells are produced) and oligospermia (few ***** cells are produced). Sometimes, ***** cells are malformed or they die before they can reach the egg. In rare cases, male infertility is caused by a genetic disease such as cystic fibrosis or a chromosomal abnormality.

Infertility affects men and women equally. About one-third of the cases are due to a male factor, one-third to the female and the remaining to the combination of both partners. Causes of infertility include a wide range of physical as well as emotional factors. For a woman to be fertile, her reproductive organs must be healthy and functional. To conceive a child, the ovaries must release healthy eggs regularly and her reproductive tract must allow the eggs and ***** to pass into her fallopian tubes for a possible union.

Acupuncture Treatment As A Form Of Traditional Chinese Medicine For Infertility

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Cindy Heller asked:


When it comes to traditional Chinese medicine and infertility, both the herbs and acupuncture are essential in order for the medications to be effective. The idea behind it is to treat the imbalance in the body through the use of acupuncture and herbs as they will restore the disharmony.

With alternative source of treatment, the conventional infertility treatments and traditional Chinese medicine must be combined. The traditional Chinese medicine and conventional infertility treatments can be are used when all avenues are exhausted as it will lead to a higher possibility of conceiving.

Acupuncture has existed for many centuries in certain cultures as a mean of treating all form of diseases. Acupuncture assists in regulating the flow of blood by the stimulation of the central nervous system as neurotransmitters and neurohormones are released as a result which help to heal the body.

In addition to, acupuncture discharge endorphins which help to fight pain; giving rise to a sensation of wellness. In the East where it was found and even in the west, acupuncture is used to treat a variety of conditions and the association between acupuncture and infertility is still being studied.

Although acupuncture may seem an odd treatment for infertility, it has become increasing popular in helping infertile couples. The idea that needles are used can be discomforting but it is just a painless process of treating infertility. Just like an ant bite and slight bruising might occur but in general, acupuncture causes no major discomfort. Other form of infertility treatment cause more discomfort than acupuncture treatment, so there is nothing to worry.

The use of acupuncture for infertility is effective because our body have energy channels and they flow to different portions of the body and the surface of the body. With blockages, the energy flows are impeded and acupuncture will free the obstructions. With the release of chemicals into the muscle, brain and spinal, the healing is in process. Acupuncture has proven to assist in certain areas that normal infertility treatments are not able to.

Before embarking on acupuncture or alternative treatment, there is a need to consult your infertility physician and if the physician found out from the infertility tests that the problem is structural; then the combination of both traditional acupuncture and herbs treatment together with infertility treatment will not be helpful.

Knowing the cause is essential to treating infertility and acupuncture is a good start. The focus will be on three vital organs and they are kidney, spleen and liver as they have a direct bearing on the reproductive organs. Traditional Chinese medicine concentrate on these three organs and acupuncture will directly impact the reproductive organs through the treatment of these three organs.

Herbal supplements go well with traditional Chinese medicine by enhancing infertility treatment. Disharmony in the infertility treatment will be assisted by consuming herbal medications. Stress and anxiety can be reduced by their use and all in all, the treatment will improve the chances of conceiving.

As acupuncture is mostly used in treating infertility problem such as hormonal imbalances, structural abnormalities such as blockages of the fallopian tubes cannot be treated with acupuncture. With acupuncture, the body system is regulated and more blood flow to the vital organs and help in the regulation of the hormones. That will provide sufficient time for the body to recover especially for matter such as hormones imbalance. Acupuncture is best after conventional form of treatment are tried and in combination with such treatments.

As herbal supplements are sometimes used with acupuncture to boost acupuncture treatments and assist in curing infertility but certain herbs do impede the effect of infertility pills, so it is wise to consult your physician. Acupuncture is most effective when female is having the in vitro fertilization cycle. As acupuncture assist in calming the body as well as reducing anxiety, adding to in vitro fertilization success.

As there is an effective link between acupuncture and infertility, so it will be beneficial to look at the treatment. Just scheduling a few sessions may contribute to conception.

One of the best alternative forms of infertility treatments is acupuncture but it is better to find out more before using it and traditional form of treatment is very effective with acupuncture. Although traditional form of treatment is still controversial, there is little harm in taking a look after all else fail. Acupuncture as a form of treatment is worth a look at and conception might just occur.

Insurance Coverage for Infertility Treatment

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Dr. Eric Daiter MD asked:


Many couples face infertility. This is a very emotional obstacle to overcome. In addition to the mental strength that you’ll need to conjure, you will also need money. Some infertility treatments can be very expensive for most couples. Your intense desire to have children can make infertility treatment seem like more of a necessity than a desire in your life. Many couples who simply can’t afford the treatment that they need, will start to look elsewhere for financial help. This is where the question of insurance comes in.

Insurance coverage for couples seeking infertility treatment may be hard to come by. The first thing you need to do is contact your employer or insurance company for a copy of your insurance coverage contract. Some contracts will specifically exclude infertility treatment as covered by the policy. If not, then you may have a case to get your infertility treatment covered.

Sometimes, there will be a specific list of treatments not covered. Check to see if the actual diagnosis is excluded. Laparoscopic procedures and hysterosalpingograms can be considered diagnostic, especially if you are experiencing abdominal pain or heavy bleeding. If your insurance denies a claim for these procedures and your contract simply excludes infertility treatment, then you have a case to get the procedures covered. Keep in mind that insurance companies are only allowed to deny claims for things that are specifically excluded on the contract.

Meeting with an infertility specialist and getting the diagnostic procedures may be covered by your insurance without question. Once you have been informed of your possible causes of infertility, then a good infertility doctor will consider your insurance coverage when developing treatment recommendations. You can decide with the help of the specialist which routes to take. Do you want to go with an aggressive procedure that may cost you more up front, but can improve your chances of conceiving more quickly? Would you rather go for the cheapest options first and see if any of them work? Either way, it can be expensive and these decisions will ultimately be yours to make.

If you are denied coverage for a procedure or visit that you believe should be covered, then ask your insurance company for contractual proof in writing that the claim is justifiably not covered. If they claim that your infertility treatment or diagnosis is not medically necessary or that infertility is not an illness, then you can still fight it. Keep track of all conversations that you have with your insurance company. Communications should be in writing whenever possible. Many will try to slip through a loophole and deny coverage that you paid for. If it’s not specifically noted as a procedure that is not covered, then it often will be covered by your insurance.

Some states require insurance companies to cover infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Keep in mind that there are many exclusions to these state mandates (such as self insured companies and having less than 50 company employees with medical insurance benefits), so check your state mandates to be sure that you know the extent of your insurance coverage. Some insurance companies will ask for documentation from your doctor that you have been infertile for one or two years before they will consider infertility treatment necessary, so make sure that you are working with your doctor early on. If you are running into walls when trying to get your infertility treatment covered, then contact an attorney familiar with insurance claims to help you come up with the best solution.

Infertility and Des Exposure

Sunday, July 26th, 2009
Infertility Doctor asked:


Women who were pregnant between 1938 and 1971 were commonly given diethylstilbestrol (DES) by their doctors. DES is a synthetic estrogen. Doctors used to believe that DES helped to reduce the number of miscarriages and premature births that women were experiencing. If your mother was given DES, then you may experience some infertility problems or other health complications as a result.

First, try to determine if your mother was given DES during her pregnancy with you. This may be hard to determine because it may have happened so long ago. Also, many doctors just told their patients that they were taking vitamins. The really sad part about this is that DES exposure can cause cancer and infertility in the women that took it, as well as their children. If you determine that you were exposed to DES, then you should inform your doctor or infertility specialist so that special care can be taken, especially during infertility treatment.

Being exposed to DES in utero puts women at a higher risk for pregnancy complications such as ectopic pregnancies, miscarriage or premature deliveries. This does not mean that you are incapable of becoming pregnant and carrying to term if you have been exposed to DES. Many women do become pregnant and carry to term despite their exposure. The reasons that DES has negative effects on women are not entirely clear. It is widely believed that the DES exposure affects the formation of the cervix. If this is true, then it can explain why exposed women have a higher number of miscarriages than non-exposed women.

If you suspect that you have been exposed to DES, then it is very important to work closely with your family physician or infertility specialist. Your doctor should order screenings to see if you have any of the negative health effects of DES exposure. ****** exams and mammograms should be performed regularly. Self ****** exams should be performed at least monthly so that you can catch changes early. You should receive regular pelvic exams and PAP smears. Your doctor may do an extra type of PAP smear to check for clear cell adencarcinoma, believed to be caused by DES exposure.

Clear cell adencarcinoma is the type of cancer believed to be linked to DES exposure. This is a rare type of cancer that affects the ****** and cervix. Survival rates are very high for this type of cancer. The most common treatment for clear cell adencarcinoma is surgery. The surgery usually includes the removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Occasionally the vagina, or parts of the vagina, must also be removed. The surrounding lymph glands may also be removed. Radiation may also be used to treat the cancer.

Work closely with a caring physician or infertility specialist that understands what you could be facing. If it is determined that you were exposed to DES, then you will need special health care as well as special pregnancy monitoring in your quest to conquer infertility.

On occasion, patients of Dr. Daiter, Eric have offered their testimonials for other couples seeking quality infertility treatment. This testimonial may help you with your decision when you are choosing a reproductive endocrinologist for your infertility treatment.

Dr. Daiter, Eric was always discussing with us where we were and what our next options were. He explained all the various treatments from mildly aggressive to very aggressive and worked with us to come up with a plan that we all felt comfortable with. I always felt like he kept me very well informed so that I could make intelligent choices. He always personally called me when ever I had some tests done, as soon as he got the results and discussed them. This was usually within a day of the tests being done. That really stood out in my mind because, with all my other doctors, when I have lab work done, it takes a good week before I hear anything from them. Even then, many times their policy is to have the office staff call only when there is a problem. You can only hope that nothing was overlooked.

I spoke to other people who were going to other Infertility Specialists in the area and they said their doctors would only discuss the test results after a whole series of tests were done. The patients expressed that the doctors made them feel rushed and uncomfortable asking a lot of questions. They also expressed that the office staff was rude and abrupt with them when they called with questions. I was very fortunate – I never felt this way with Dr. Daiter, Eric or his office staff.

Infertility Treatment Has Given New Dimensions to the Dream of Having a Child

Saturday, June 27th, 2009
Smit Mathur asked:


Infertility specialists and fertility management Australia are involved day and night in research and development to discover infertility drugs, which can cure infertility problems of couples. The problem or the cause of infertility can be divided into- 

• Male infertility

• Female infertility 

There are hundreds of reasons behind male and female infertility and their treatment depends upon the type of the problem. Few of the common causes of infertility among men are- 

• Smoking

• Alcohol

• Drugs

• Genetic disorders

• Environmental factors

• Less ***** formation

• Age, etc. 

However reasons behind female infertility are much more complex in nature. Some common female infertility problems are 

• Blockage in fallopian tube

• Uterine fibroid

• Urine infection

• Poor diet and nutrition

• Genetic problem 

The number of causes of infertility are countless and excessive research and tests are done on the patients by the doctors to know the exact reason due to which they are not getting pregnant. Sometimes even after a series of medical tests for infertility, doctors fail to discover or understand the exact reason of their patient’s infertility problem. This condition is medically termed as unexplained infertility problem. This situation is very stressful for the patient and sometimes causes depression in them. In female the cases of unexplained infertility increase with their age say after 35 years of age and above. It has been seen that women who delays their pregnancy treatment for a long period have a low chance of getting pregnant. 

There are a number of treatment procedures available for couples facing infertility problems. Some of the most important ones are 

• IVF treatment and IVF diagnosis

• Natural fertility treatment

• Traditional Chinese medicine

• Surrogate mothers

• Pregnancy treatment

• Infertility acupressure

• Chinese infertility medicine 

Among all these treatments IVF treatment is the most costly and advanced one. Couples who are not able to have a baby through other possible treatments go for IVF treatment and IVF preparation. And we can consider it as the final option of infertility treatment. 

Chinese infertility medicine and herbs have proved beneficial for infertility treatments and their success ratio is approximately70%. Infertility acupuncture treatments are also proving benefit to the patient as it helps them in getting relaxed during the treatment procedure and thus increase their chances of conceiving. You can choose a reputed acupuncture, clinic which specializes in acupuncture pregnancy and infertility acupressure. 

Australia is also a good destination for couples seeking good treatment. Infertility management Australia provides latest technologies and medication for infertility treatment.

How to Help: Supporting an Infertile Couple

Friday, May 29th, 2009
Infertility Specialist asked:


Most couples are very surprised when they discover that they may be infertile. This can be an emotional blow to a family. The couple dealing with infertility can really be in for a roller coaster ride of draining emotional experiences. Seeing someone you love go through something so complicated can be hard for family and friends as well. You may feel very sad and helpless when talking with the couple. You may feel like you should offer advice.

Keep in mind that you are not an infertility specialist and you have no way of knowing what infertility treatment may be best for the ones you love. Be careful about finding a lot of information online and offering it up as a solution to all of their problems. Many couples experiencing infertility are very deeply affected by their problem and may react irrationally to suggestions from family and friends. Dealing with infertility is a very personal journey that couples must go through together.

Remember that the couple is probably having trouble dealing with their infertility. Men and women react differently to infertility and some may consider their partner’s reaction to be the wrong one. This can really cause the couple to be in an uphill battle with each other. You offering up solutions is not going to solve all of their problems. You may only be giving them more to deal with. This can severely impact relationships, so you should proceed carefully when offering support and advice.

Do not get discouraged, there are ways that you can offer support without causing more harm than good. You can still be a pillar for the couple to lean on. You can be supportive without intruding on personal matters. Let the couple come to you with information rather than constantly prying for the scoop. Let them know that you are here if they need you, but you understand that this can be a very personal matter. Be there when they want to talk. Don’t discount their fears because they can be very real. Being afraid and talking about it to a third party can be very therapeutic for a couple. Offer perspective whenever possible, but don’t pretend to completely understand, as every situation is different.

One thing to remember is that the couple you care about is feeling very much out of control in a lot of ways. You can offer constructive support by giving them control whenever possible. Asking how you can help and putting them in control of dictating your role can help them feel supported without giving them the impression that they need to be saved. If they would like for you to stay out of it, then stay out of it. Let them know that you respect that decision and that you will be there for them if they need you. Support the decisions that they make as far as treatments are concerned. Wish them well, but try not to speculate on whether certain treatments will work. Offer as much support as needed without going overboard and you will be a great asset to the struggling couple.

Patients of Dr. Eric Daiter have often offered kind words about the way that he handles their very personal infertility situations. If you are searching for a specialist to deal with the infertility treatment of the ones you love, you may want to take personal testimonials like the one below into consideration.

Let me share some examples of the kind of attention Dr. Eric Daiter’s patients receive. While his main office is in Edison NJ, he maintains a satellite office in Ocean Township NJ. The Ocean Township office is closer to my home. However, given the nature of his practice, timing is everything. Ovulation did not always occur when he had office hours in Ocean Township. Dr. Eric Daiter, therefore, arranged to see me in his Ocean Township office, outside his normal hours, to accommodate my schedule or that of my husband. He did this on several occasions.

I have had the occasion to call Dr. Eric Daiter’s office with questions and concerns. His office staff has always been kind and courteous. Surely, this is a positive reflection on their employer. Further, if he was not available to take my call immediately, he never failed to promptly return calls, even on Saturdays. Additionally, he always spent as much time as necessary explaining things and answering questions. Neither my husband nor I ever had the impression that he was in a hurry or a rush to move on to the next patient.

Where To Find Financial Aid And Support Group For Infertility Treatment

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
Cindy Heller asked:


Infertility can be a heavy burden both in term of finances as well as coping emotionally. Having a child or children is the completion of a family for many people. To be informed that they are unable to conceive a baby can be heart wrenching. For those who turn to infertility treatments, the cost can be hefty. However, this life journey need not be too stressful.

Infertility Financial Aid Options

Most infertility treatments are expensive. This is where the infertility financial aid programs come in handy. Most patients cannot afford to finance all the cost of infertility treatments by themselves. There are the options to take out a bank loan as well as other credit facilities. You may also borrow against collateral such as your insurance policies. Your infertility clinic may have a financial aid advisor that can assist you in this matter. The clinic may have several infertility financial aid companies that they work with on a regular basis. Do your little research into all options before deciding.

There are several noteworthy infertility financial aid options. The first one is the Invitro-fertilization (IVF) Refund Scheme. This infertility financial aid allows you to go for a certain number of IVF cycles and will repay you for those cycles if you do not get pregnant within a specific time frame. There are certain restrictions with this form of infertility financial aid. There is a qualifying age limit; you may have the choice of a reduced payment to cater for a certain amount of cycles, choice of 70 to 100 percent refund amounts. All these are important factors to consider when you choose your infertility financial aid.

You may want to look into other form of infertility financial aid. You can always try to get yourself an unsecured or secured bank loan to pay for the infertility treatments. The are some organizations that offer special loans designed for financing of IVF.

You may also be able to secure a kind of infertility financial aid that gives refund if rate there is no baby produced. You should check your individual heath insurance policy to see if the procedures are covered. Whatever form of infertility financial aid you chose, it should give you a peace of mind so that you can concentrate on your treatments.

Infertility Insurance – Reducing the Cost of Pregnancy

Infertility insurance can be a great help for couples who are going through infertility treatments. There are a few different types of financial assistance available for infertility treatments and infertility insurance is one of them. Infertility insurance will require certain guidelines to be met. Infertility treatment is often the only option for many couples. In vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination are the two common infertility treatments. Without coverage by infertility insurance, these can be very expensive. If you need more than one cycle of treatment, the cost will be increased. Not to mention the accompanying cost of the medication that is required. A couple will need to consider their treatment options carefully and then decide on the best infertility insurance they need.

Infertility Support Groups

Most infertile couple will experience mild to extreme emotional and physical stress. . Infertility support groups can give the required understanding in this stressful time. The immediate infertility support groups are the friends and family. Some may choose to join dedicated infertility support groups. There is comfort in talking with other couples by attending infertility support groups.

Infertility support groups have helped many people to come to term with infertility issues. They offer a vast range of resources that may not be able to individual. They provide information on treatments and on how to handle bad news positively. Infertility support groups aim to give hope to people who despair about their situation. Being in the infertility support groups, you can begin to understand your own feelings better because you are hearing it from not only your point of view but also, the view of many others. Hopefully, the infertility support groups can provide a venue to make more friends that you can talk to and can give mutual support. That is very important when dealing with infertility.

You need not have to feel alone in dealing with infertility.. You can find out about the nearest infertility support groups through your doctor or medical social workers. Infertility support groups will help you to regain control of your life and are definitely worth checking out.

Herbs As Infertility Treatment

Monday, April 27th, 2009
Leokadia Angela asked:


If you’re someone facing the difficult diagnosis of infertility, you may be ready to start undergoing all the painful and expensive treatments and invasive surgeries that your doctor has recommended. But is this your only option? What about trying some natural herbs for infertility; do these work? If so, what are they? And are there any other natural supplements that one can at least try first, before undergoing all those unpleasant procedures?

Vitamins and Minerals for Treatment

When thinking about what herbs for infertility actually work, you may want to consider what some experts are saying about natural treatments, including vitamins and other such substances. In a new study cited in OBGYN News, a group of Harvard researchers found that 79% of infertile couples had a lower-than-average intake of foods high in antioxidants – like fruits and vegetables.

In one study published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Medicine, doctors found that after one week of daily doses of 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, ***** counts rose by some 140%. If you’re thinking of trying some herbs for infertility, consider something with a vitamin C supplement.

More recently, a study published in the Archives of Andrology showed the antioxidants vitamin E and selenium improved the ability of ***** to swim : a skill necessary to reach the egg.

Homeopathic Herbs for Infertility

There are some great homeopathic remedies that include herbs for infertility, and some are actually catching the attention of traditional doctors. ‘In research published in the journal Reproductive Biomedicine Online, a group of German doctors show that some natural remedies may work for men. The authors show that ***** quality and function improved with the intake of complementary food supplementation using either a combination of zinc and folic acid, the antioxidant Astacarox, or an energy-providing combination containing (actyl)-carnitine (Proxeed). The latter two also boosted the success of intrauterine insemination and spontaneous pregnancy rates.’ These substances are common in homeopathic herbs for infertility.

Moreover, in the journal Fertility and Sterility doctors reported that men with fertility problems who took a daily dose of 66 milligrams of zinc and 5 milligrams of folic acid for nearly six months saw a 74% increase in their ***** counts.

Even more recently, studies published in the journal Fertility and Sterility revealed that both L-carnitine and L-acetyl carnitine improved ***** in a number of areas key to fertilization.

The following remedies are considered potent herbs for infertility in women:

sepia 6c: used to treat irregular or absent ovulation

sabina 6c: recommended for women who have suffered recurrent miscarriage

aurum:used when lack of *** drive and depression are thought to be the cause of infertility

silica: this remedy is used to boost a woman’s weakened immune system

phosphorus:used to treat stress as well as emotional anxiety that can accompany infertility

The following remedies are considered potent herbs for infertility in men:

sepia 6c is used to treat low *** drive

medorrhinum: this homeopathy treatment is believed to help treat impotence
