Aurangabad International IVF Center

MALE CONDITIONS –

• Azoospermia: Your infertility can be related to your inability to produce sperm cells.
• Impaired sperm production or function.Below-average sperm concentration, weak movement of sperm (poor mobility), or abnormalities in sperm size and shape can make it difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg. If semen abnormalities are found, a visit to an infertility specialist might be needed to see if there are correctable problems or underlying health concerns.
• Genetic diseases: Examples include Klinefeflter’s syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, microdeletion and more.
• Some medical conditions: Examples include diabetes, some autoimmune disorders, cystic fibrosis and some infections.
• Some medications and supplements.
• Variococles: This is a condition where the veins on your testicles are larger than normal, causing them to overheat, which can affect the shape or number of your sperm.
• Cancer treatments: Chemotherapy, radiation or a surgery that removes the testicles (one or both).
• Unhealthy habits: Substance use, including alcohol, smoking and drugs.
• Trauma to your testes.
• Hormonal disorders: Disorders that affect your hypothalamus or pituitary glands can affect your infertility.

FEMALE INDICATIONS –

• Fallopian tube damage or blockage.Fallopian tube damage or blockage makes it difficult for an egg to be fertilized or for an embryo to travel to the uterus.
• Ovulation disorders.If ovulation is infrequent or absent, fewer eggs are available for fertilization.
• Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus implants and grows outside of the uterus — often affecting the function of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes.
• Uterine fibroids.Fibroids are benign tumors in the uterus. They are common in women in their 30s and 40s. Fibroids can interfere with implantation of the fertilized egg.
• Previous tubal sterilization or removal.Tubal ligation is a type of sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are cut or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy. If you wish to conceive after tubal ligation, IVF may be an alternative to tubal ligation reversal surgery.
• Unexplained infertility.Unexplained infertility means no cause of infertility has been found despite evaluation for common causes.
• A genetic disorder.If you or your partner is at risk of passing on a genetic disorder to your child, you may be candidates for preimplantation genetic testing — a procedure that involves IVF. After the eggs are harvested and fertilized, they’re screened for certain genetic problems, although not all genetic problems can be found. Embryos that don’t contain identified problems can be transferred to the uterus.
• Fertility preservation for cancer or other health conditions.If you’re about to start cancer treatment — such as radiation or chemotherapy — that could harm your fertility, IVF for fertility preservation may be an option. Women can have eggs harvested from their ovaries and frozen in an unfertilized state for later use. Or the eggs can be fertilized and frozen as embryos for future use.

Women who don’t have a functional uterus or for whom pregnancy poses a serious health risk might choose IVF using another person to carry the pregnancy (gestational carrier). In this case, the woman’s eggs are fertilized with sperm, but the resulting embryos are placed in the gestational carrier’s uterus.
