The inability to conceive after a year of unprotected sexual activity is known as infertility. It is a sensitive topic, particularly for women, and many of them face a lack of knowledge, delayed diagnosis, and societal shame.
This article is designed to help women in Bangladesh understand the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for female infertility, so they can take timely steps toward building a family. From failed conception attempts to unexplained delays, this guide reviews and lists out various tests and potential solutions, including ovulation induction, IUI, and IVF. The article also emphasises how the kind and synergistic care at Indira IVF would fill your parenthood hopes with confidence.
Female fertility treatment encompasses medical procedures and therapies designed to help women get pregnant. Numerous reproductive health conditions, including hormonal or ovulation problems, as well as structural problems like obstructed fallopian tubes, can be addressed by these procedures. Depending on the patient's situation, the objective may be to promote the patient's spontaneous conception or offer assistance through infertility treatments like IVF or IUI. The woman's age, the severity of her infertility, and the kind of treatment are only a few of the many variables that affect the outcome of fertility treatments.
Female infertility is very common. According to more recent studies, more than 60% of women experienced primary infertility, meaning they had tried and failed to conceive. In a similar vein, over 68% of women who were infertile had been trying for more than five years, which is concerning since it shows that access to proper medical care has been delayed. Alarmingly, 82.8% of women did not attempt to get pregnant during the specific period of their menstrual cycle, and around 79.6% of them were unaware of their fertile period. These percentages generate an immediate need for education and awareness programs in reproductive health.
Urbanisation, late marriage, obesity, unhealthy lifestyle choices and a host of untreated medical issues are some of the contributing reasons to the growing numbers.
There are many medical and lifestyle-related factors that contribute to a woman being infertile. Some common causes are:
If you're struggling to conceive, consult a fertility expert. Early diagnosis helps improve outcomes. Female Infertility Treatment in Bangladesh is now advanced and accessible, offering hope to many couples.
Recognising early signs of infertility can prompt timely medical attention. Common symptoms include:
Diagnosis will require the sexual reproductive health background, hormone levels, and physical structures to be discussed. These are the considerations taken:
Ovulation Testing :
A blood test to measure hormone levels to determine if you are ovulating.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) :
An X-ray method to assess and evaluate uterine and fallopian tube conditions. It also looks for blockages in the fallopian tubes or other types of conditions.
Ovarian Reserve Testing :
This helps your care team determine how many eggs you have to ovulate.
Other Hormone Testing :
These tests measure hormone levels that control ovulation and pituitary hormones responsible for the mechanisms necessary for pregnancy.
Imaging Tests :
A pelvic ultrasound helps determine if there are any diseases affecting the uterus or ovaries. Sometimes, a saline infusion sonogram is used to evaluate internal details of the uterus that are not available through a typical ultrasound.
Treatment varies according to the underlying causes, age, and the general health of the patient. In Bangladesh, the options generally available and usually considered for infertility treatment are:
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) :
Sperm are put straight into the uterus around the time of ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilisation.
Ovulation Induction :
Ovulation is induced with medication, either oral or injectable, in women who have irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
IVF (In-Vitro Fertilisation) :
The eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilised in the laboratory. The fertilised eggs or embryos are then inserted back into the uterus.
Laparoscopy & Hysteroscopy :
Minimally invasive surgeries are carried out to diagnose or correct physical abnormalities in the reproductive organs.
Egg Freezing :
Freezing eggs for future use, specifically for women going through treatments such as chemotherapy or delaying pregnancy for personal reasons.
The cost of female infertility treatment in Bangladesh varies depending on the type of treatment and the clinic's location. In addition to basic treatment procedures, additional procedures, such as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) or embryo freezing, can increase the overall expense. Costs may be lower at government hospitals but higher in private fertility centres. While these treatments are becoming more accessible, affordability remains a concern for many couples. Financial planning and awareness of success rates are important when considering fertility care in Bangladesh.
