WHAT IS INFERTILITY?
Infertility may result from fertility issues with you or your partner and can also be a combination of factors from both partners. Secondary infertility is also prevalent, where a woman is unable to fall pregnant or unable to carry a pregnancy to full term, after previously carrying a pregnancy to live birth. This could also include spontaneous miscarriages. Fortunately, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have improved significantly and many safe and effective therapies are available to improve your changes of falling pregnant.
MALE INFERTILITY
Male factor infertility makes up approximately 40% of South African couples struggling to conceive. Fortunately, most cases can be relatively easily rectified by the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
FEMALE INFERTILITY
Female infertility can be defined as the inability to become pregnant naturally. This does not mean that a woman is unable to have children, but assistance might be needed in the process.
BOTH PARTNERS CONTRIBUTING INFERTILITY FACTORS/UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY
When fertility factors affect both partners, treatment will depend on the type and severity of the issues identified. Options may include donor sperm, donor eggs, donated embryos or, in certain circumstances, gestational surrogacy.
All options require appropriate medical assessment, counselling, and consideration of relevant ethical and legal requirements.
