Pregnancy treatments
Pregnancy treatment may be done by induction of ovulation, artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, for example, depending on the cause of infertility, its severity, the age of the individual and the goals of the partner.
- Thus.
- In case of infertility.
- The gynecologist should be consulted to indicate the best specialist who will guide the appropriate treatment.
Treatment of twin pregnancy should be guided by an assisted reproduction specialist, depending on the cause and severity of infertility and the risks of pregnancy to the mother, such as high blood pressure or gestational diabetes for example.
Treatments to get pregnant depend on the cause of infertility and the chances are:
Treatment to get pregnant with polycystic ovaries involves inducing ovulation by injecting hormones or taking ovulation-stimulating medications, such as clomiphene, which is known commercially as Clomid and, if necessary, IVF, where embryos, which are fertilized in the laboratory, are implanted in a woman’s uterus.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by the presence of cysts in the ovaries due to the high concentration of testosterone in the blood, making pregnancy difficult.
Treatment of endometriosis during pregnancy may be done by surgery or, in more severe cases, by in vitro fertilization.
Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, such as in the ovaries or tubes, for example, that can interfere with the pregnancy process or cause infertility. Therefore, in most cases, surgery to remove tissue from the endometrium makes pregnancy possible. However, when this is not possible, the couple may resort to in vitro fertilization.
The ideal thickness of the endometrium to allow embryo implantation in the uterus should be at least 8 mm, but the higher the endometrium, so when the endometrium is less than 8 mm during the fertile period, your doctor may recommend using medicines that increase the thickness of your endometrium, such as Viagra or Trental, for example. See the other options on: How to treat the thin endometrium to get pregnant.
Treatment to become pregnant in case of ovulation problems that prevent the release of the egg and therefore hinder the gestation process, can be performed with ovulation induction and in vitro fertilization.
The woman must first induce ovulation by injecting hormones or taking ovulation-stimulating medications, such as Clomid, and if she is not yet pregnant, resort to in vitro fertilization.
Treatment to become pregnant when the woman does not produce eggs or produce them of poor quality consists of in vitro fertilization, but with the implantation of eggs from a donor, in this case the sperm of the woman’s partner is collected and fertilization with the donated eggs is performed, so that the embryo can be implanted in the woman’s uterus.
Treatment to become pregnant in case of blockage of the tube, which can be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, certain sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia or prior sterilization, for example, can be performed by laparoscopic surgery and, if surgery does not work, in vitro fertilization.
When the tubes are clogged or damaged, the egg is prevented from reaching the uterus and, as a result, sperm reach the egg, making pregnancy difficult, so in most cases this problem is solved only by surgery to unlock the tubes. .
Treatment to get pregnant in case of problems with sperm, such as when the person does not produce or produce sperm in small amounts, have an abnormal form or low mobility, for example, it can be done with medications to increase sperm production, artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization with intracytoplemic sperm injection.
Artificial insemination involves collecting sperm and preparing them in the lab to be injected into a woman’s uterus during ovulation. If the person does not produce sperm, sperm must come from a donor.
In vitro fertilization with intracytoplemic sperm injection may also be an option for low sperm production because it involves injecting a single sperm directly into the egg into the lab.
Treatment to get pregnant in case of sperm allergy is the injection of a vaccine based on the couple’s sperm, so that the woman is no longer allergic to semen, when this treatment does not work, the couple may resort to artificial insemination. or in vitro fertilization.
Although sperm allergy is not considered a cause of infertility, it causes difficulty getting pregnant because the body produces white blood cells that prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
These treatments to get pregnant can be performed in private or free clinics by the SUS, such as at the Perula Byington Hospital in Sao Paulo, the Hospital of the Federal University of Sao Paulo, the Hospital das Cinenicas of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Sao Paulo, the hospital das Clunicas de Ribeirao Preto, the Asa Sul regional hospital in Brasilia or the Institute of Integral Medicine Professor Fernando Figueira in Brasilia.
