Many men and women with fertility problems have been treated successfully through well-known and reliable methods verified by infertility specialists.  Actually with current state of infertility treatment, there is absolutely no fertility problem that is not curable through existing methods.

Common methods of infertility treatment:

Given the main cause of infertility, there are various options to treat fertility problems. Treatment usually begins with methods with lowest risk and in case of lack of progress, other methods would be applied.

• Medication:

In some cases, infertility is caused by disorderliness of hormonal balance or reduction of hormonal storage. In these situations, treatment would be sought through medication. Taking fertility medicines can effectively improve the function of reproductive organs in men and women. Even in some occasions that the cause of infertility is unknown, it is possible to achieve natural fertilization by taking medication.

• IUI:

Another treatment for infertility is intrauterine insemination IUI. This method involves placing sperm samples inside woman’s uterus helping sperm to reach fallopian tubes thus increasing the chance of fertilization. This method is applied when sperm is unable to reach to the eggs.

• Surgery

Another approach to infertility treatment is laparoscopy or other extensive abdominal operations. This approach is pursued when infertility is caused by blocked fallopian tubes or diseases such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis or anatomical problems in genitals.

• Assisted reproduction techniques:

In cases where infertility is caused by low sperm count or blocked fallopian tubes, the treatment is very exceptional. It’s called In Vitro Fertilization or IVF. IVF is used only when other treatments proved to be ineffective. In this method infertility specialist collects sperm and egg and unites them in a laboratory using advanced equipment, a process that naturally occurs inside fallopian tubes. IVF is one of the prevailing methods for infertility treatment and assisted reproduction techniques.

IVF : history of IVF in Iran

The history of IVF in Iran has been shaped by the interaction between the pioneers of IVF and an interdisciplinary group of experts, together with the endorsement and strong support of the Shia jurists.

• 1992 – Birth of the first baby following retrograde ejaculation using intrauterine insemination (IUI) first started in 1989 in Aban Hospital by Dr. Jalil Pakravesh (personal communication).
• 1994 – Birth of the first baby resulting from intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and the birth of the first baby through egg donation carried out in Yazd by Dr. Mohmmad-Hossein Amir Arjomand (personal communication).
• 1996/97–Use of ICSI + percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) resulting in the birth of a baby at Shariati Hospital, Tehran, carried out by Dr. Hojat-Allah Saeedi (personal communication).
• 1998–First case of transferring an embryo produced from testicular spermatozoon by microinjection carried out by Dr. Akhondi (the author).
• 2004–Birth of the first baby born following pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) Royan Institute, Tehran, carried out by Dr. Leila Karimian (personal communication).

Indeed, the use of IVF in a range of contexts such as PGD(more…) (as a preventive measure for diseases with a genetic basis or for sex selection); sperm, egg and embryo donation; surrogacy; fertility preservation; and animal conservation (freezing of egg, sperm and embryo), are commonplace in Iran.

IVF : Infertility treatment in Iran

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months of trying.

Infertility affects an estimated 20.4 % of couples globally.

The figure will drop to 12.4 percent after two years of trying, adding it shows that many infertile couples can have a baby if they keep trying.

The couples aged 35 years and above are not recommended to use the method because any delay in childbearing would aggravate their infertility problems(more…).

Iranian couples no longer need to travel abroad for consultation or treatment for infertility as advanced methods of treatment for couples who have problems to conceive, are available in the country.

There are 3 million infertile couples in the country.  Around 3-4% of young Iranian women suffer from recurrent miscarriages. Infertility rate is about 2.5% and secondary infertility is more prevalent than primary infertility. When a woman is not able to conceive at all, (due to infertility in either spouse), it is referred to as primary fertility. Secondary infertility is when a woman is unable to conceive again after the first successful pregnancy and childbirth. While causes of secondary infertility vary, the most important risk factors are advanced reproductive age, weight gain, abdominal surgeries, sperm quality and quantity, and smoking.

Microsurgical reconstruction for male infertility, new methods of male infertility treatment(more..) (medication, surgery, and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)(more…)), the role of complementary therapies and medicines to improve fertility, and new imaging techniques for assessment of infertility problems in both genders, are among the main important topics that will be discussed.

At present, there are 80 infertility centers across the country and 20 more will be launched by the end of the current year.

Additionally, 35 state-run universities of medical sciences have equipped with new laboratory equipment and devices for identification and treatment of infertility problems.

 

 

IVF is never the first step in the treatment of infertility. Instead, it’s reserved for cases in which other methods such as fertility drugs, surgery, and artificial insemination haven’t worked.

On average, an IVF cycle costs $2,300-$2,900 in the country, while the majority of women have per-cycle success rates of 20-35%, which means they may need multiple tries to get pregnant.

IVF may be an option if one of the spouses or both has been diagnosed with problems like endometriosis, low sperm count, problems with ovulation, antibody problems that harm sperms or eggs, and unexplained fertility problems.
