History Of Infertility Awareness

Infertility is employed for those who can’t conceive and women who didn’t achieve pregnancy. While it can be difficult for those experiencing it, it is so common that the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized it as a worldwide health issue.

Studies and reports by the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention indicate that there are approximately one million couples in the U.S who can’t conceive even after a year of trying. Because of this, couples over the age of +35 must schedule a consultation during pregnancy. So people begin to know about infertility and find treatments that may help cure or solve fertility issues. 

This is the main reason why World Infertility Awareness Month was created.

 

Why Is World Infertility Awareness Month Important?

• It increases awareness on infertility issues. Many couples don’t know they are infertile. This month’s purpose is to alert them of problems that may arise and how they can prepare and solve them. 

 

• Introduces options and solutions. A lot of people keep trying to conceive for a year before they find there might be a problem; June provides solutions for infertility that couples can choose. 

 

• It is a way to give hope. The month shows many people facing infertility issues. A solution can be heard, and if couples don’t give up and continue to try different options such as visiting fertility specialists and looking for procedures such as IVF and IUI, they can achieve their dream.

Which Fertility Treatments Exist?

Some of the most popular and effective treatments are:

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most influential and popular assisted reproduction methods due to its high success rates (65 – 95%). With this technique, egg fertilization occurs in a laboratory; the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman’s uterus, allowing pregnancy. IVF offers a chance at parenthood to couples who would otherwise be unable to conceive due to infertility problems such as blocked or absent fallopian tubes or low sperm counts.

• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). It consists of the deposit of previously prepared sperm inside the uterine cavity, without sexual contact, to achieve pregnancy during the fertility period of the recipient woman. The sample preparation improves the spermatozoa conditions and, with it, the probability of achieving a successful pregnancy is increased.

 

• Egg donation is a technique in which one woman (donor) delivers the eggs to another (recipient) in order that the second can have a child. This donation can be altruistic by a friend, relative, or sister to maintain the physical and genetic characteristics of the family, or it can be by an unknown person through professional service and through remuneration.
