Protol for infertility
"infertility" AND "management" AND "protocol"
| Criterion | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Age < 35 years | After 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse |
| Age ≥ 35 years | After 6 months |
| Known risk factors (tubal disease, oligomenorrhea, known male factor) | Immediate evaluation |
| Cause | Incidence |
|---|---|
| Fallopian tube disease (PID, endometriosis, adhesions) | 20–30% |
| Amenorrhea/anovulation | ~15% |
| Cervical/uterine factors (fibroids, polyps, Asherman syndrome) | ~10% |
| Minor ovulatory disturbances | <5% |
| Vaginal factors | <5% |
| Immunologic factors | <5% |
| Nutritional/metabolic (thyroid, DM) | ~5% |
| Idiopathic/unexplained | <10% |
In ~1/3 of couples, more than one cause contributes. Peak female fertility is at age 25; reproductive performance declines after this age in both sexes.
| Severity | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Mild–moderate oligospermia | Intrauterine insemination (IUI) |
| Severe oligospermia / azoospermia | IVF + ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) |
| Ductal obstruction | Surgical correction or IVF/ICSI |
| Donor insemination | Option where male factor uncorrectable |
| Technique | Indication |
|---|---|
| IUI | Mild male factor, cervical factor, unexplained |
| IVF | Tubal disease, severe male factor, failed ovulation induction, advanced age |
| ICSI | Severe oligospermia, azoospermia (surgically retrieved sperm), prior IVF fertilization failure |
| Donor oocytes | Premature ovarian insufficiency, advanced age, poor ovarian reserve |
| Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) | Recurrent miscarriage, known genetic disorders, aneuploidy screening |
| Complication | Source | Management |
|---|---|---|
| Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) | Gonadotropin/hCG therapy | Withhold hCG if >3 follicles; fluid/electrolyte monitoring; avoid pelvic exams |
| Multiple gestation | Ovulation induction (up to 30% with gonadotropins) | Limit follicles; consider elective single embryo transfer with IVF |
| Ectopic pregnancy | ↑ risk ×4–40 with infertility treatment | Serial β-hCG + TVUS; treat with methotrexate or surgery |
| Vasomotor flushes, visual changes | Clomiphene | Dose reduction or discontinuation |
What role does acupuncture have
"acupuncture" AND "infertility" AND "IVF"
PMID: 40950975
PMID: 41837144
| Study | Design | Pregnancy rate: Acupuncture vs. Control |
|---|---|---|
| Smith et al. (228 women) | RCT | 31% vs. 23% (not statistically significant) |
| Paulus et al. (225 women) | RCT | 33.6% vs. 15.6% clinical; 28.4% vs. 13.8% ongoing |
| Westergaard et al. (182 women) | RCT | 39% vs. 26% clinical; 36% vs. 22% ongoing |
| RCT (pre/post transfer) | RCT | 43% vs. 26% |
| Recommendation | Strength |
|---|---|
| Safe to recommend as adjunct; will not harm | Strong |
| May reduce stress and improve wellbeing | Moderate evidence |
| May improve IVF pregnancy rates when used around embryo transfer | Weak-to-moderate; inconsistent RCTs |
| Cannot replace standard ovulation induction or ART | Definitive |
| Routine recommendation as standalone fertility treatment | Insufficient evidence |
