hey sex witch! I'm almost certain I know the answer to this, just sorta seeking educated outside validation and/or an answer I'm maybe not expecting, but my question: it is true that usually the menstrual cycle gets more regular (timing-wise) and less painful, right?

that's a thing I was taught in a school system that at least did their darndest to have okay sex ed and I've known my period is wack for a couple years and am trying to be in a position to see a professional, so no worries I won't be asking you medical advice, just was wondering if you knew more/had slightly more general insight/etc

hi there,

while most people's periods do get more regular with age (it's very normal for a teenager's cycle to vary wildly from month to month over the first few years), I wouldn't say that it's the default for people's pain to decrease with time. if periods (and/or premenstrual symptoms) are consistently causing more pain and difficulty than other people seem to experience, it can be a sign of chronic issues like fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or other underlying health concerns.

if you're frequently experiencing periods that are irregular from month to month or symptoms like nausea, fainting, vomiting, pain levels that prevent you from functioning the way you would ordinarily, or sharp spikes in depression and/or suicidality in tandem with your menstrual cycle, I'd recommend consulting with a healthcare professional.

I’m healing up with six holes in my torso and laying here in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about the state of the world.

I’d like to think that B*den leaving the race, and H*rris losing, would be a wake up call to the left; that sometimes we have to support shitty people to prevent shittier people from getting back in power; and that the US has yet to culturally come to terms with its history of racism and misogyny. And no, it’s not fair that we’ve had to choose between lesser evils just to tread water—it’s stupid, vile, horrific, to ask people to vote for politicians who are still more like rulers than representatives, especially when those people are directly impacted by systemic bullshit every day.

But it just boggles the mind, that so many of y’all either forgot or weren’t clued into the damage Dump did in his first term, and were so willing to do things like tell me to kms just because I was encouraging my fellow Americans to vote. At the end of the day, no, it’s not about me—it’s about what you’re willing to do to make a better future happen, and stupid petty bitch squabbles online ain’t gonna do shit for anyone.

I’m laying here being kept awake by a future that is as uncertain as it ever was in my life, and any other. And as I get older, the more I internalize that time is the one thing we can’t get back—time with loved ones, time to make the most of opportunities, time to just sit and turn off the screens and just BE alive. Too often, time is stolen from us—by abuse, illness, loss, and other hardships. But it’s still up to us to try and make the most of what time is left.

I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t have any pithy clapbacks, snappy one-liners, wordy manifestos. I don’t have any solutions—suggestions, maybe—and God only knows I can’t tell you where my own life will be in five years, let alone our collective fate as a species. All I can truly champion with any certainty, is the truth that we should try to put more love into the world—tell someone you love them, go on that road trip while you can, make time to visit someone you cherish, donate excess items, food, time to those who need it. Leave nothing unsaid with those you love, while you still can.

… Sorry for the lack of my own content. I’m a week into recovery and my laptop started spluttering out, so I’ve traded it in (by proxy since lol I ain’t leaving the apartment like this). I need to set the new one up, but I’ve been bedridden and sleeping through the healing process. (I am in fact about 10lbs lighter. They removed ten g-damn pounds of fibroids and uterus out of me.)

Anyway, thank you to my followers and mutuals. Please, remember you are loved. Go pet an animal, go watch your favorite movie, go hug someone you love. Life is… not easy, by any means, but doing those things can make it a little more bearable.

Robyn Pennacchia at Wonkette:

Last week, Louisiana lawmakers empowered child rapists by voting down a bill that would have allowed an exception in their abortion ban for their victims. This week, they’re looking into classifying abortion pills as a Schedule IV “controlled substance” so that they can harshly prosecute people for helping to distribute them to those in need. The provision was added as an amendment to SB276, a bill that “creates the crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud to prohibit a third-party from knowingly using an abortion-inducing drug to cause, or attempt to cause, an abortion on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent and amends various abortion criminal laws to add the crime of attempted abortion.”

It is deeply concerning that Louisiana legislators are wholly unaware that all of this is already illegal. It is illegal, except in some emergency situations and even then only by medical professionals, to give anyone any kind of medication without their knowledge and informed consent. If they think this is legal, well, I wouldn’t leave my drink around a single one of them, is all I’m saying. It’s also clear that they don’t really understand what controlled substances are, why some drugs are scheduled and others are not, nor anything about the specific drugs they are trying to control. Misoprostol, for instance, is primarily used to prevent ulcers from NSAIDs, as well as to help stop postpartum hemorrhaging after a miscarriage. Mifepristone is sometimes used during labor, during IUD placement, during cancer biopsies, for Cushing’s syndrome and uterine fibroids.

[...] The bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Thomas Pressly, introduced it partially for personal reasons, because his sister’s ex-husband actually did secretly dose her with an abortion drug, and was not, in Pressly and his sister’s estimation, punished severely enough for it. He served 180 days in jail, and the bill would raise that to 10 years and up to $75,000 in fines. It would be one thing to increase the penalties for dosing anyone in any kind of way, but there’s a reason they’re specifying abortion drugs. What they want is to prevent people from getting them for women who want to take them voluntarily but cannot because of their state’s gross law, and to institute major penalties for this. What they want is to be able to better track doctors who may still be prescribing these pills to abortion-seeking patients for reasons other than abortion.

Louisiana's SB276 bill to classify abortion pills such as mifepristone and misoprostol as "controlled substances" are an attack on reproductive freedom and family planning.

Healthy women's

Women’s Health refers to the branch of medicine and public health that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions that uniquely or disproportionately affect women. This encompasses a wide range of physiological, psychological, and social aspects that impact women's well-being across all stages of life.

Key areas of Women’s Health include:Reproductive Health: Menstrual health Contraception and family planning Pregnancy and prenatal care Postpartum health Fertility and infertility issues Gynecological Health: Conditions like endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and fibroids Regular Pap smears and HPV testing Management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Menopause and hormonal health Breast Health: Breast cancer awareness and screening Prevention and management of benign breast conditions Mental Health: Addressing conditions like postpartum depression, anxiety, and mood disorders Supporting mental health through life transitions, such as menopause Chronic Disease Prevention and Management: Osteoporosis and bone health Cardiovascular health Diabetes management Lifestyle and Preventive Care: Nutritional counseling and exercise Stress management and self-care Screening for cancers (e.g., cervical and ovarian cancers) Violence and Safety: Addressing domestic violence and sexual health Advocating for gender-specific healthcare policies and support systems

I'm 19 but I already decided some years ago that I never want to get pregnant, and I'm on birth control but I know that's not a garunteed protection. Am I too young to have my uterus removed? I don't really have any need for it

Hi Anon,

Good for you for being proactive with your reproductive goals!

The good news is that there are a number of birth control options (hormonal and nonhormonal) that offer protection as good or better than tubal ligation (getting tubes tied), and some last as long as 10 years at a time.

The bad news is that you are unlikely to find a provider willing to perform an elective hysterectomy on anyone under the age of 35 without medical reasoning. There are several justifications for this; some are reasonable, and some are stupid (NOTE: in my opinion).

Let's talk about these two things separately. (2 posts!).

HYSTERECTOMY

Removal of the uterus, while a very common surgical procedure, is still a surgical procedure that has significant costs, risks and potential life-long side effects (and I'm NOT talking about fertility). Risks include everything from acute problems (hemorrhage, perforation, etc.), to longer-term health problems (increased risk of stroke, loss of bone density, urinary problems, heart attack, etc.) and sexual functioning issues (vaginal atrophy and dryness). It's not just like snapping out a Lego piece.

So when it comes to the prevention of childbearing, with no other medical reason given, many doctors will be unwilling to take these risks when there are safer alternatives. Medical reasons can include persistent heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids or other uterine growths, gender-affirming surgery, endometriosis, etc. Even for these conditions, a hysterectomy is usually the treatment of last resort, and those seeking one may still struggle to get one.

Now . . . here's where the (in my opinion) stupid part comes in. We live in a country where an 18-year-old can choose to get elective cosmetic surgery like breast implants. I think there is a marked inconsistency in logic when we say that that young adult can make an informed decision about that surgery, but not in this situation. I do think it's a holdover from patriarchal handwringing about the ability of people with uteruses to make decisions about those uteruses. And yes, some doctors are overly concerned with preserving people's fertility even when the patient is adamant they don't care about preserving it. I don't know what the "right" age is to let young adults make these decisions for themselves, but I do think it should be consistent at least!

---

So Anon - The TLDR is: I think you should be able to make this informed decision with the consultation of a gynecologist who gives you all the information you need, and who will take the time to verify that you do understand what you are consenting to, short- and long-term. But, you are also going to have a hard time finding that at this point in your life.

I hope you can get what you need (security from pregnancy) by using one of the long-acting reversible contraceptives I will mention in my other post.

i think the 2g inositol i took last tuesday and wednesday probably triggered my cysts to cause me pain and my obgyn said sounds like i have peritonitis from a ruptured dermoid which i think maybe was caused to burst by the inositol. so i think my cyst defense plan after surgery includes inositol. if it triggers the decay of cysts so much that one of mine ruptured then it should prevent normal small cysts from growing too large or building up in any way in the future. from what ive seen ovulation-preventing birth control sometimes still fails to prevent cysts and/or allows other uterine growths (fibroids) to happen. plus it could make me gain weight or acne or anything so i’m good. inositol ✅

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 18, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAR 19, 2024

It seems to me that the news tends to be slow on weekends during the Biden administration, while Mondays are a firehose. (In contrast, Trump’s people tended to dump news in the middle of the night, after Fox News Channel personality Sean Hannity’s show was over, which may or may not have been a coincidence.)��

So, lots going on today as the Biden administration continues to make the case that a democratic government can work for ordinary Americans while Trump and his supporters insist that a country run by such an administration is an apocalyptic nightmare. 

First, economic analyst Steven Rattner reported today that according to The Economist, since the end of 2019 the American economy has grown about 8%, while the European Union has grown about 3%, Japan 1%, and Britain not at all. Rattner and economist Brendan Duke reported that entrepreneurship in the U.S. is booming, with 5.2 million “likely employer” business applications filed between January 2021 and December 2023, more than a 33% increase over those filed between 2017 and 2019. 

Economists Justin Wolfers and Arin Dube noted that, as Wolfers wrote, “[f]or the first time in forever, real wage gains are going to those who need them most.” Wages have gone up for all but the top 20% of Americans, whose wages have fallen, reducing inequality. 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) head Lina Khan announced that after the FTC challenged a set of AstraZeneca inhaler patents last September as being improperly listed, today AstraZeneca said it would cap patients’ out-of-pocket costs for its inhalers at $35, down from hundreds. Earlier this month, Boehringer Ingelheim did the same.

The Environmental Protection Agency today announced it was banning asbestos, which is linked to more than 40,000 deaths a year in the U.S. and was already partly banned, but which is still used in a few products. More than 50 other countries already ban it. 

Also today, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to advance women’s health research to integrate women’s health into federal research initiatives, strengthening data collection and making funding available for research in a comprehensive effort to equalize attention to men’s and women’s health across their lifespans. The federal government did not require women’s health to be included in federally funded medical research until 1993. In a speech today, First Lady Jill Biden recalled that in the early 1970s, researchers studying estrogen’s effect in preventing heart attacks selected 8,341 people for the study. All of them were men. 

Last month, First Lady Biden announced $100 million in funding for research into women’s health, and last Thursday Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Planned Parenthood clinic that provides abortion care in addition to breast cancer screening, fibroid care, and contraceptive care. She noted that women’s reproductive health has been in crisis since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, with women in some states unable to access the care they need.

Former president Trump, who is now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, prompted some of the economic reporting I noted above when he tried to spark attacks on President Joe Biden by asking on social media if people feel better off now than they were four years ago. This was perhaps a mistaken message, since four years ago we were in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Supermarket shelves were empty, toilet paper was hard to find, healthcare professionals were wearing garbage bags and reusing masks because the Trump administration had permitted the strategic stockpile to run low, deaths were mounting, the stock market had crashed, and the economy had ground to a halt. 

On this day four years ago, I recorded that “more than 80 national security professionals broke with their tradition of non-partisanship to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden for president, saying that while they were from all parties and disagreed with each other about pretty much everything else, they had come together to stand against Trump.”

Here in the present, Trump appears to be getting more desperate as his problems, including his apparent growing difficulty speaking and connecting with his audience, mount. Last week, in an interview, he echoed Republican lawmakers and pundits when he suggested he was open to cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, something Republican lawmakers try to avoid saying to general audiences because it is hugely unpopular. Trump has since tried to repair that damage, for example, when he insisted on Saturday that it was he, rather than Biden, who would protect those programs. (In fact, Biden has called for expanding the social safety net, not contracting it, and last year forced Republicans to back off from proposed cuts.)  

Saturday’s speech illustrated the degree to which Trump’s rhetoric has become more profane and apocalyptic as he vows revenge on those he sees as his enemies. Campaigning in Vandalia, Ohio, for his chosen Senate candidate, Trump suggested that certain migrants “are not people.” Then he said he would put tariffs of 100% on cars manufactured in Mexico by Chinese companies for sale in the U.S., “if I get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

By Sunday, Trump’s embrace of the word “bloodbath” had created a firestorm. Surrogates insisted that he was talking about the auto industry alone, but as scholar of rhetoric Jen Mercieca and legal commentator Asha Rangappa note, Trump is a master at giving himself enough plausible deniability for his supporters to claim that, as Rangappa put it, “he wasn’t saying what he was saying. I know what he meant. He knows what he meant. You know what he meant.” In the same speech Saturday, Trump called those convicted of violence on January 6, 2021, “hostages” and “patriots,” and has said he would pardon them, appearing to endorse violence to return him to power.

This morning, Trump’s lawyers told a court that Trump cannot come up with either the money or a bond for the $454 million plus interest he owes in penalties and disgorgement after he and the Trump Organization were found guilty of fraud in a Manhattan court earlier this year. The lawyers say they have approached 30 different companies to back the bond, and they have all declined. They will not issue a bond without cash or stock behind it. Trump's real estate holdings, which are likely highly leveraged, aren’t enough.

Last year, Trump said under oath that he had “substantially in excess of 400 million in cash,” and that amount was “going up very substantially every month.” Apparently, that statement was a lie, or the money has evaporated, or Trump doesn’t want to use it to pay this court-ordered judgment on top of the $91.6 million bond he posted earlier this month in the second E. Jean Carroll case.

Timothy O’Brien of Bloomberg notes that Trump’s desperate need for cash makes him even more of a national security threat than his retention of classified documents made it clear he already was. “[T]he going is likely to get rough for Trump as this plays out,” O’Brien writes, “and he’s likely to become more financially desperate with each passing day,” making him “easy prey for interested lenders—and an easy mark for overseas interests eager to influence US policy.”

This morning, Josh Dawsey of the Washington Post reported that Trump is turning to his 2016 campaign manager Paul Manafort to advise him in 2024. Dawsey notes that the campaign’s focus appears to be on the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, which suggests Trump’s people are concerned that his nomination will be contested. Manafort has been known as a “convention fixer” since 1976.

Manafort is also the key link between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian operatives. Manafort worked for many years for Ukrainian politician Viktor Yanukovich, who was closely tied to Russian president Vladimir Putin. When Ukrainians threw Yanukovich out of office in 2014, Manafort was left with large debts to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. In 2016, Manafort began to work for Trump’s campaign. An investigation by a Republican-dominated Senate Intelligence Committee into the links between Trump’s campaign and Russia determined that Manafort had shared polling data from the Trump camp with his partner, Konstantin Kilimnik, who the senators assessed was a Russian operative.  

In 2018, as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Manafort was found guilty of hiding millions of dollars he had received for lobbying on behalf of Yanukovych and his pro-Russian political party, then getting loans through false financial records when Yanukovych lost power. A judge sentenced him to more than seven years in prison.

Trump pardoned Manafort in December 2020, shortly after losing the presidential election.

There's a grief in my belly-- beneath the gut, actually, low and tense, where a child could've been if I had ever been a child and the size of a clementine, it's big enough to be a cause of concern, I mean, it's even the same size as my mother's and my grandmother's and those things killed them, I mean, not literally in one case but you could call it hereditary, if it brings you comfort to know that this was an inevitability? cysts, fibroid tumors, ovarian failure, you can't get a hysterectomy because, well, you don't have insurance that will cover it, and you're still of childbearing age and it's funny. they only say that because they don't know that the orange is a grapefruit now, and I can't eat those, I'm on antidepressants, I keep trying to shed the pain, the shame. like deer velvet, each spring I am a different person, each winter I am unchanged; a child begging for southern comfort but, I mean, who can really say if it's unfair? No amount of pecan pie and family history could've prevented this; Why are you crying? What is it now? Does it hurt? On a scale of 1 to 10 show me where it hurts and I'll give you something to cry about.

[kalisbaby]

Jessica Pettway's death infuriates me because 1) it was preventable 2) it reminds me of my own dismissal from my gyno about my bleeding issues just being fibroids and because of my weight and 3) my older sister almost died last year from this same issue and it wasn't until like her third blood transfusion back-to-back after her second one, which she had to have because her bleeding nearly killed her (doctor legit told her if she waited even an hour more before coming in she would've died) before they decided to do more than just give her birth control (that didn't work).

Racism (and in my case, fatphobia) in the medical field is a guaranteed death sentence and we have been saying this for DECADES at this point. At this point, it goes far beyond plain ignorance, with so many mis- and under-diagnosises being had, it's straight up murder.

Unraveling the Enigma: Exploring the Causes of Infertility in Men and Women

Infertility, a condition that affects millions of couples worldwide, can be a source of immense emotional distress and frustration. While there are numerous factors that can contribute to infertility, understanding its underlying causes is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we delve into the multifaceted causes of infertility in both men and women, shedding light on the complex interplay of biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Causes of Infertility in Women

Ovulation Disorders: Irregular or absent ovulation can hinder conception. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) can disrupt the ovulation process.

Fallopian Tube Damage: Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Previous pelvic infections, endometriosis, or surgery may contribute to fallopian tube issues.

Uterine Abnormalities: Structural abnormalities in the uterus, such as fibroids or polyps, can interfere with embryo implantation and development, leading to infertility.

Age-related Factors: As women age, the quantity and quality of their eggs decline, making conception more challenging. Advanced maternal age is a significant risk factor for infertility.

Causes of Infertility in Men

Low Sperm Count or Quality: Issues with sperm production, motility, or morphology can impair fertility. Factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetic conditions, and lifestyle choices (e.g., smoking, excessive alcohol consumption) can affect sperm health.

Varicocele: A varicocele, an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, can lead to decreased sperm production and quality. It is a common reversible cause of male infertility.

Testicular Factors: Conditions such as undescended testicles, testicular trauma, or infections can impact sperm production and function, contributing to infertility.

Ejaculatory Disorders: Disorders affecting the ejaculation process, such as retrograde ejaculation or erectile dysfunction, can hinder the delivery of sperm during intercourse.

Seeking Help from a Male Fertility Doctor

For couples struggling with infertility, consulting a male fertility doctor, also known as a reproductive urologist or andrologist, can provide valuable insights and guidance. These specialists are trained to evaluate and treat male infertility issues, offering diagnostic tests, fertility evaluations, and personalized treatment plans to address underlying causes and improve reproductive outcomes.

Conclusion

Infertility can stem from a myriad of factors affecting both men and women. By understanding the potential causes of infertility and seeking specialized care from a male fertility doctor specialist, couples can embark on a journey towards achieving their dream of parenthood. With advancements in reproductive medicine and personalized treatment approaches, there is hope for overcoming infertility challenges and building a family.

What is Infertility Treatment?

    

Infertility treatment refers to medical procedures and therapies designed to help individuals or couples who are struggling to conceive a child. Infertility can stem from various causes, including hormonal imbalances, uterine issues, fallopian tube blockages, male infertility factors, and lifestyle or age-related factors. These treatments aim to improve the chances of conception through either non-invasive methods, like medications, or advanced surgical procedures, depending on the severity of the problem.

Infertility treatment is personalized to each patient’s medical history, age, and specific fertility issues. For women in Thrissur seeking infertility treatment, Dr. Praveen R provides a thorough consultation, diagnosis, and treatment plan designed to offer the best possible outcomes.

Causes of Infertility in Women

There are multiple causes that contribute to infertility in women, some of which include:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): One of the most common hormonal disorders, PCOS can disrupt ovulation, causing difficulty in getting pregnant.

Endometriosis: A condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs. This can lead to infertility.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Fallopian tubes may become blocked due to infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, or scarring from previous surgeries.

Age-Related Factors: As a woman ages, the quantity and quality of her eggs decline, which can reduce fertility.

Uterine Issues: Fibroids, polyps, or other structural problems can make it difficult for an embryo to implant in the uterus.

Hormonal Imbalance: Hormones regulate ovulation, and any imbalance can prevent conception.

Thyroid Disorders: An overactive or underactive thyroid can interfere with ovulation and fertility.

Dr. Praveen R specializes in diagnosing the root cause of infertility in women, which is critical in determining the best approach for treatment.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for 

Infertility can be a challenging and emotional experience for many women. However, advancements in medical treatments, especially infertility treatments, have given hope to countless couples striving to conceive. Dr. Praveen R, a leading gynecologist and fertility expert in Thrissur, provides comprehensive and personalized infertility treatment solutions. But, not every woman may require these treatments. It’s essential to understand who is a suitable candidate for infertility treatment, especially for women facing challenges related to conception.

1. Women Struggling with Ovulation Issues

Ovulation disorders are one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances can lead to irregular or absent ovulation, making it difficult to conceive naturally. Women experiencing these issues can benefit from various infertility treatments, including ovulation induction medications, which can help stimulate the ovaries and restore regular ovulation. For women in Thrissur struggling with ovulation issues, Dr. Praveen offers a range of treatments to improve fertility.

2. Women with Blocked Fallopian Tubes

The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in the fertilization process, and if they are blocked, the egg and sperm cannot meet, which leads to infertility. Blocked fallopian tubes can occur due to pelvic infections, endometriosis, or previous surgeries. If a woman has this issue, her chances of natural conception are significantly reduced. In such cases, advanced fertility treatments like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) are often recommended. IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes by fertilizing the eggs outside the body and transferring the embryos directly into the uterus. Dr. Praveen R is an expert in using advanced technologies to treat blocked fallopian tubes and help women conceive successfully.

3. Women Diagnosed with Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs. This can cause scarring, inflammation, and infertility. Women diagnosed with endometriosis often face difficulty conceiving, and the severity of the condition can influence the type of treatment needed. In cases where conservative treatments fail, laparoscopic surgery may be performed to remove endometrial tissue. Additionally, IVF can be a highly effective option for women with moderate to severe endometriosis. Dr. Praveen R, with his vast experience in laparoscopic surgery and fertility treatments, provides tailored solutions for women with endometriosis.

4. Women with Uterine Issues

Uterine issues such as fibroids, polyps, or abnormalities in the shape of the uterus can also lead to infertility. These conditions can hinder implantation or cause miscarriage. For women facing such conditions, surgery or medical treatment may be necessary to address the problem. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgeries, both of which are minimally invasive, can be used to remove fibroids or polyps and correct structural problems. Once these issues are treated, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF can be employed for women who still have trouble conceiving.

5. Age-Related Fertility Decline

As a woman ages, the quantity and quality of her eggs decrease, which can make it more difficult to conceive. Women over the age of 35, especially those over 40, may find it more challenging to get pregnant naturally. Age-related fertility decline is one of the leading reasons why women seek infertility treatments. In these cases, IVF is often considered, as it provides the best chances for conception. Dr. Praveen  offers personalized fertility treatments, taking age and health factors into account to increase the likelihood of success for older women.

6. Unexplained Infertility

In some cases, even after thorough testing, no clear cause of infertility can be identified. This condition is referred to as unexplained infertility, and it affects many couples. For women experiencing unexplained infertility, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) may be recommended. While the cause is unknown, these treatments can help improve the chances of conception by bypassing some of the natural barriers to fertility. Dr. Praveen provides expert guidance to women dealing with unexplained infertility, ensuring they receive the best possible care.

7. Women with Male Factor Infertility

While infertility is often considered a woman’s issue, male factor infertility can be a significant cause of difficulty in conceiving. Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or sperm morphology issues can affect fertility. If a male partner has infertility issues, assisted reproductive technologies like IUI or IVF may be used to enhance the chances of conception. In IUI, sperm is directly placed into the uterus during ovulation, improving the likelihood of fertilization. For IVF, sperm is directly injected into the egg, a process known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Dr. Praveen R works with couples facing male factor infertility, offering comprehensive treatment options for both partners.

8. Women Seeking Fertility Preservation

For women who may wish to delay having children, fertility preservation options are available. Women who are diagnosed with certain medical conditions (such as cancer) that may impact their fertility later on, or those who are considering delaying motherhood for personal or professional reasons, can opt for egg freezing. Egg freezing is a technique where a woman’s eggs are harvested and frozen for future use when she is ready to conceive. This option is becoming increasingly popular among women in their late 20s and early 30s. Dr. Praveen offers fertility preservation services to help women take control of their reproductive future.

Laparoscopy for Infertility: A Minimally Invasive Approach to Improving Reproductive Health

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. Both men and women can face infertility due to various factors, including tubal infections, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, and male-factor infertility. The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies the leading causes of infertility as malnutrition, pelvic tuberculosis, and recurrent infections that cause blockages in the fallopian tubes.

Laparoscopy involves using a laparoscope—a small camera inserted through a small incision—to examine the reproductive organs, allowing doctors to identify abnormalities and determine the best course of action for treatment. One of the prominent reasons for its growing popularity is its minimally invasive nature, which offers a quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgery. Many patients with conditions like endometriosis, tubal blockages, and fibroids have seen significant improvements after undergoing laparoscopic procedures. This method has revolutionized the way Miart specialists approach infertility treatment, combining precision with minimal disruption to the body.

What Causes Infertility?

Infertility can result from a variety of factors:

Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and premature ovarian failure can prevent proper egg release.

Scarring From Surgery: Pelvic or cervical surgeries may lead to scarring in the reproductive organs.

Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus can block fallopian tubes or hinder the attachment of a fertilized egg.

Endometriosis: When tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, it can cause pain and fertility issues.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): A bacterial infection that can damage the fallopian tubes and other parts of the reproductive system.

For men, infertility may stem from poor sperm quality, testicular issues, or ejaculation disorders.

How Laparoscopy Helps Diagnose and Treat Infertility

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to view the internal reproductive organs in detail. The procedure is particularly useful in identifying and treating conditions such as:

Blocked fallopian tubes: The laparoscope helps identify and correct blockages or scarring in the fallopian tubes, which can improve fertility.

Fibroids and endometriosis: Laparoscopy can identify these conditions more accurately than other diagnostic methods, allowing for their removal during the procedure.

Pelvic adhesions: Laparoscopy helps detect adhesions that may be hindering fertility, and the surgeon can remove them to enhance conception chances.

Laparoscopy is typically used when other methods, such as imaging or ovulation testing, do not provide a clear diagnosis or if unexplained infertility is suspected.

The Laparoscopy Procedure

Before the procedure, patients must fast for 8 hours. Under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision near the navel and inserts a laparoscope to view the reproductive organs. Carbon dioxide is pumped into the abdomen to elevate the abdominal wall for a clearer view. The laparoscope, which has a camera, transmits magnified images of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes to a monitor, helping the doctor identify abnormalities.

The surgeon may inject a dye to check for blockages in the fallopian tubes, and if necessary, perform corrective surgery during the procedure. Afterward, the surgeon removes the instruments, releases the carbon dioxide, and closes the incisions.

Benefits and Risks of Laparoscopy

Benefits:

Minimally invasive: Laparoscopy involves small incisions, leading to less pain, a quicker recovery, and minimal blood loss.

Improved fertility: Conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and blocked tubes can be treated during the procedure, potentially improving chances of conception.

Quick recovery: Patients typically recover within a day, and most can return to normal activities within a week.

Risks: Though laparoscopies are generally safe, there are risks associated with any surgery, including bleeding, infection, and damage to nearby organs. In rare cases, laparoscopy can lead to complications like blood clots, abdominal hernias, or reactions to anesthesia.

Diagnosis and Future Fertility

Laparoscopy helps doctors accurately diagnose the cause of infertility, whether it's due to blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, or other conditions. Once the issue is identified, treatments can be performed during the procedure, and the patient can try to conceive naturally afterward.

If conditions like PCOS or infections cause fertility issues , additional treatments like hormonal therapy or antibiotics may be needed. In cases of severely damaged fallopian tubes, in vitro fertilization (IVF) might be recommended.

Conclusion

Laparoscopy is a highly effective procedure for diagnosing and treating infertility. By providing a clear view of the reproductive organs, it allows doctors to detect and treat conditions that may be preventing conception. While the procedure carries some risks, the benefits, including improved fertility and faster recovery, make it a valuable option for couples struggling with infertility.

If you're dealing with unexplained infertility or conditions like fibroids or endometriosis, consult your doctor to see if laparoscopy could be the solution. For expert care, Infertility treatment in Calicut such as Miart specialists offers advanced laparoscopic techniques to improve your chances of parenthood.

Common Causes of Infertility in Men and Women

The causes of infertility can vary between men and women. Common causes in women would be ovulation problems, blocked fallopian tubes, or issues with the uterus. There are also hormonal imbalances, age, and some medical conditions affecting fertility.For men, low sperm count, poor sperm quality, or problems with sperm delivery can be the main causes. Infertility may arise due to lifestyle factors, like smoking, excessive drinking, and stress.

Dr. Rita Bakshi and her team can help you with this issue. With RISAA IVF, discover the causes and get the best treatment option. With years of experience dedicated to fertility care, we offer an all-encompassing approach to help couples to start their journey of parenthood.

In this blog, we shall provide a thorough guide to understanding the causes of infertility, treatment options, and ways to overcome infertility.

What is Infertility?

Infertility is the inability to conceive after trying for a year or more. It affects both men and women. In women, it can be due to problems with ovulation, blocked fallopian tubes, or hormonal imbalances.  In men, infertility often relates to low sperm count or poor sperm quality. Infertility can happen by various factors, including age, lifestyle, or underlying health conditions. It’s important to consult a doctor to identify the cause and explore treatment options. With the right care, many couples can overcome infertility and achieve their dream of becoming parents.

Types of Infertility

There are three basic types of infertility: primary, secondary, and unexplained infertility. Each type presents specific characteristics.

Primary Infertility

A couple has primary infertility if they are trying for one year or more to get pregnant. However, even after trying they can’t be able to conceive.

Secondary Infertility

This refers to a case in which a couple has already conceived one child but cannot conceive again.

Unexplained Infertility

Detection of no diagnosable cause for infertility, even after thorough investigations upon both individuals.

Understanding the type of infertility can help guide treatment options and increase the chances of successful conception.

Causes of Infertility in Women

Several causes can lead to infertility in women. Understanding these causes can help in finding the right treatment. Here are some common causes:

Ovulation Disorders: Problems with ovulation can prevent the release of eggs. This is usually a consequence of hormonal imbalance.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Obstructed tubes will prevent the egg from being carried to the uterus for fertilization.

Endometriosis: This condition occurs when tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside it, which can affect fertility.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): PCOS causes hormonal imbalance and irregular ovulation, making it harder to conceive.

Age: Women see changes in their fertility with advancing age because of declining egg number and quality.

Uterine Problems: Any defects in the uterine structure. For e.g., fibroids and scarring, may interfere with the implantation processes.

Thyroid Problems: Both hyper- and hypothyroidism disrupt the functioning of hormones responsible for fertility.

Causes of Infertility in a Man

Factors leading to infertility among men affect sperm production or sperm quality. Here are some causes:

Low Sperm Count: A lower than normal sperm count reduces the probability of fertilizing an egg.

Poor Sperm Quality: Slow, misshapen, or poorly swimming sperm may make conception difficult.

Blockage or Vas Deferens Issues: Blocked tubes or damaged vas deferens can prevent sperm from being released during ejaculation.

Hormonal Imbalances: The main role of hormones is in sperm production, and also imbalance can lead you to infertility.

Varicocele: Varicocele causes the blood in the veins around the spermatic cord to pool, leading to an elevation in temperature around the testes. Temperature elevation can also reduce sperm production.

Lifestyle factors: These comprise smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, drugs, or extreme stress situations, which might act as a threat to sperm quality.

Age: The Number of Sperm decreases with age, so does production, leading to a reduction in fertility.

Diagnosis of Infertility for Women and Men

Infertility diagnosis covers various causes in men and women. An initial part of the diagnosis consists of a review of the medical history and a few basic tests.

Diagnosis of Female Infertility

Ovulation Testing: A blood test is done to see if ovulation is occurring regularly.

Hormone Testing: Taking a blood sample to measure hormone levels to balance the hormones

Ultrasound: The uterus and ovaries are examined for irregularities, such as cysts or fibroids.

Hysterosalpingography: X-ray examination used to detect blockages of the fallopian tubes.

Laparoscopy: Minor surgery in which your abdomen is inspected for endometriosis or pelvic problems.

Diagnosis of Male Infertility

Semen Analysis: Sperm count, shape, and movements are evaluated.

Hormone Testing: Measures hormone levels related to sperm production.

Genetic Testing: To detect hereditary disorders affecting fertility.

Scrotal Ultrasound: Used to examine the scrotum for blockages or varicocele, conditions that may affect sperm production.

Treatment of Infertility

Infertility treatment is important to fight many issues in the future. It can also equally aid in conception for many couples. Available treatments for male and female alike are varied.

Infertility Treatment for Female

Medications: Hormonal medications are designed to help stimulate proper ovulation in a patient with irregular or absent ovulation.

Surgery: Procedures can relieve blockage of the fallopian tubes or address any other medical condition, such as fibroids, that impairs fertility.

IUI: Intrauterine insemination, in which sperm are injected directly into the uterus via a catheter in order to increase the chance of pregnancy.

IVF: In vitro fertilization combines a sperm with an egg in a lab and places the developing embryo into the uterus.

Infertility Treatment for Male

Medications: Medications can rectify hormonal imbalance and increase sperm count and improvement.

Lifestyle Changes: A healthy diet, exercising, stressing less, and quitting smoking can all aid male fertility.

Surgical Treatment: Blockages of the sperm-carrying tubes or complications resulting from a condition known as varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum). Surgery can treat this issue.

Sperm Retrieval: If there is no sperm in ejaculatory fluid, surgery can help extract the sperm for the purpose of assisting reproduction. It is most commonly a part of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

How to Prevent Infertility?

While some causes of infertility cannot be avoided, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. Healthy lifestyle choices and early medical care can help prevent many fertility problems.

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Being overweight or underweight can affect your fertility. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help maintain a healthy weight.

Avoid Smoking and Excessive Alcohol: Smoking and drinking heavily can lower sperm count in men and affect egg quality in women. Reducing or quitting can improve fertility.

Manage Stress: High stress levels can interfere with ovulation and sperm production. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help in managing stress.

Get Regular Check-ups: Regular health check-ups help identify any conditions affecting fertility early. Treatment for conditions like PCOS or thyroid problems can improve fertility.

Protect Against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Untreated STIs can lead to infertility. Practicing safe sex and regular screenings can help in preventing this.

Final Words

By making healthy lifestyle choices and getting regular check-ups, you can reduce the risk of many causes of infertility. Maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and practicing safe sex are simple steps that can improve your fertility. Early treatment for underlying health conditions can also help prevent long-term fertility issues. Taking these preventive measures can improve your chances of conceiving and lead to a healthier pregnancy.
