1. Which Infertility Treatment Is
Ideal For You?

2. • Because of the revolutionary advancement in the area of
biological sciences, a lot of successful forms of infertility
treatment have surfaced in the past years or so. The type
of treatment is determined after considering a number of
important factors like the medical history, the reason
behind infertility, age of the woman and man, if any and
clearly, the personal choice of the partners.

3. Infertility in Utah - Treatment Options
for Women
• The inability to conceive can be triggered by a couple of
variables both in women and men. When it comes to
women, age, ovulation problems or impaired fallopian
tubes can result in infertility. Usually, if a woman has
reached the age of 35, odds of infertility rise by a
substantial margin.

4. • On the subject of ovulation problems, the type of
infertility treatment is mostly through medications.
Drugs like Metformin and Clomiphene are administered
to cure Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or POS which is
considered the most typical form of ovarian problem
among women. Most of these medicines activate the
pituitary gland, which in turn induces the ovary to
discharge the egg.

5. • In other instances, infertility can be triggered because of
damaged or blocked fallopian tubes. Under normal
conditions, fallopian tubes give a passage for the
transportation of the fertilized egg to the uterus or the
egg to the sperm. But, if they are blocked or
damaged, they can hamper the whole process.
Normally, various sorts of tubal surgery such as
salpingectomy and tubal re-anastomosis are utilized to
repair broken tubes.

6. • If none of these methods are successful, specialists of
infertility in Utah normally suggest Assisted
Reproductive Technology or ART. The most common
type of ART is In Vitro Fertilization or IVF. Under in
vitro fertilization treatments, the sperm and egg are
fertilized outside of the human body in a synthetic
platform and the fertilized egg will then be placed
straight in the uterus. In addition, Intracytoplasmic
Sperm Injection or ICSI is commonly utilized to increase
the in vitro fertilization success rates. Other types of ART
or Assisted Reproductive Technology involve assisted
hatching, wherein the outer coating of the embryo is
popped open to aid the implantation process.

7. Infertility in Utah - Treatment for Men
• When infertility in men is a result of premature
ejaculation, this can be cured with a behavioral or
medicinal approach. In many extreme cases, infertility in
men is seen as a result of impeded sperm movement or
low sperm count. The latter can normally be cured by
prescribing hormonal medications which enhance the
general functionality of the man's reproductive system.
When there is a clear form of blockage blocking the flow
of sperm cells, it is either treated surgically or the sperm
cells are immediately taken off from the testes for in
vitro fertilization treatments.

8. • Therefore, there is no scarcity of treatment of infertility
in Utah both for women and men. With that in mind, a
couple of factors have to be taken into account prior to
making the last decision. The ultimate failure or success
of the selected form of treatment is based hugely on
these factors. Hence, you need to consider your infertility
specialist or doctor at the earliest opportunity.
