Don’t Let Endometriosis Hurt Your Chances Of Conceiving

Endometriosis often does not have any symptoms, and when there are symptoms, they are mistaken for irritable bowel movement, constipation, or plain menstrual cramps. Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue lining the inner walls of the uterus attach themselves to tissues outside the uterus. The endometrial tissues swell during menstruation, sometimes causing rectal bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pain, swelling of the abdomen, and nausea.

Because these symptoms are so vague or so similar to other conditions, like ovarian cysts or flatulence, a diagnosis happens - ironically- only when women go to their doctors when they are having trouble conceiving. Almost half the women who have trouble conceiving are assumed to be suffering from endometriosis by infertility doctors. However, endometriosis does not always lead to infertility, and if there is no pain and discomfort and the endometrial tissue is not too widespread, endometriosis treatment may not really be of help - because there might be another cause for infertility.

Infertility Treatment - You Can Have A Family

While infertility treatment is often seen as a woman's problem, and her "obsession" for a baby is seen as something specific to women, the fact remains that infertility can cause heartache to men too. When a couple decides to seek infertility treatment, the first thing a doctor will do is to assess the health of both people.

Infertility treatment for men involves artificial insemination or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) if the sperm is healthy. If sperm quality is poor, you may need to consider using donor sperm. Infertility treatment for women involves hormone injections, insemination, or IVF. If the doctor feels there might be a tubal blockage, you may be asked to undergo surgery to remove the blockage and increase your chances of conceiving naturally. Infertility treatment offers you many options, but you need to weight the pros and cons of each treatment (if possible with at least two infertility specialists) before starting treatment.

Infertility Specialists Ensuring Pregnancy

Here are some tips by Infertility Specialists for improving your chances of conceiving a baby:

1)Have regular checkups and physical examinations. Timely detection of sexually transmitted diseases, infections and problems in the genital region goes a long way in ensuring fast and effective infertility treatment.

2)Infertility Specialists suggests that for conceiving, it is advisable that couples have sex every 48 to 72 hours at the time of ovulation. Since a female egg can fertilize only after 24 hours of being released from the ovary, regular intercourse at said cycles increases the chances of conceiving. However, frequency should not be increased further since ejaculating before each 48 hours reduces the sperm count considerably.

3)A great requirement of effective infertility treatment is healthy lifestyle for both the partners. They should avoid smoking, drinking and drug intake as much as possible. This not only ensures greater probability of conceiving but is also effective in ensuring better health for the newborn.
