LET’S TALK ABOUT FERTILITY
Everything you need to know,

about fertility and its treatments
Infertility is defined by the WHO as a disease and is a deficiency of the male or female
reproductive system consisting of the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of
regular unprotected sexual intercourse.
Approximately 80 million people in the world suffer from infertility, this is so common that at least
1 in 6 heterosexual couples have difficulty conceiving. At least 12% of women of reproductive
age who want to become pregnant do not succeed.
In addition, same-sex couples or single-parent families often need medical support in order to
have a child.
Infertility is a condition that affects 15-20% of couples of reproductive age. Within the field of
reproductive health, infertility implies a disease that does not compromise the physical integrity
of the individual or threaten his or her life. However, it can have a negative impact on the
development of the person, producing frustration and weakening the personality, since many
couples and individuals consider having children as a life goal. Compared to other species,
humans are highly inefficient in terms of reproduction. The fertility rate per cycle is about 20%
and the cumulative pregnancy rate in couples with proven fertility is approximately 90% after
twelve months and 94% after two years.
The causes of the increase in infertility may be due to at least 4 factors: This increase could be
due to at least four factors: postponement of the moment when the decision to have children is
made, alterations in semen quality due to habits such as smoking and alcohol, changes in
sexual behavior and obesity or unhealthy lifestyle habits.
The study of the infertile couple has always been focused considering different factors:
ovulatory (present in about 15% of couples), tubal-peritoneal (observed in ~35% of couples),
male factor (35% of cases) and unexplained cause (15% of couples). About 40% of all infertile
couples have a combination of factors. Three major changes in the approach to infertility have
occurred during the last two decades.
Thirdly, the development of molecular biology and genetics have become very important for the
study, diagnosis and evaluation of couples, many of them considered until now as “infertile
couples without explanation”.

Assisted Reproduction Treatment
LOW COMPLEXITY
Ovarian stimulation - directed intercourse.

Through the use of medication and ultrasound monitoring will indicate the precise time of
ovulation to have sex and thus have a higher probability of achieving pregnancy.
Intrauterine insemination.
After ovarian stimulation, a capacitated semen sample (homologous, from the couple or
heterologous, from a donor) will be deposited in the uterus through a special catheter.
HIGH COMPLEXITY
Conventional In Vitro Fertilization.

After ovarian stimulation, the oocytes are collected and in the in vitro laboratory the oocytes and
sperm are placed in contact with each other in specialized media so that fertilization can occur
spontaneously. This technique ensures the contact of the sperm with the eggs. Embryo tracking
is performed to then select the best embryo and transfer it to the woman's uterus.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).

After ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, it is a highly complex technique in which, under the
microscope, the embryologist selects the best sperm to inject it directly into each egg obtained.
This technique ensures that the sperm enters the egg and is indicated when there is poor
quality in the semen sample, among others. The objective of the treatment is to transfer an
embryo to the uterus of good quality, that is, poor quality in the semen sample, among others:
The goal of the treatment is to transfer an embryo to the uterus of good quality.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).

This technique allows us to optimize the results of assisted reproduction treatments by selecting
genetically healthy embryos to be transferred. The indications for this treatment are various,
from the presence of hereditary genetic diseases, the woman's age and even improving the
chances of pregnancy by identifying genetic alterations in the embryos associated with the age
of the parents.
