Infertility Drugs and Devices Helps Improve the Chances of Getting Pregnant
Infertility drugs and devices are used to treat infertility problems in both men and women. Infertility occurs in men due to varicocele, azoospermia, low sperm count, abnormal sperm count, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, etc., whereas infertility in women is due to endometriosis, multiple miscarriages, hormonal disorders, tubal disorders, uterine disorders, ovarian disorders, etc. Infertility affects around 8% to 10% of couples worldwide.
With the increasing prevalence of infertility, the demand
for infertility drugs and devices is also increasing at a rapid pace. For
instance, according to the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC),
each year, infertility affects one out of eight couples (that's around 6.7
million people) in the United States. Furthermore, infertility is a major life
event that exposes both psychological and social problems. However, these
problems may differ in terms of socio-cultural and gender of people from
different geographical regions.
Infertility drugs and devices used to treat infertility fall
into two groups. The first group is used to treat the immediate cause of
infertility, while the second group is used to treat particular medical
conditions. Anastrazole or Arimidex, Cycloset, Metformin, Letrozole, Gonadotropins,
Clomiphene citrate, Bromocriptine, Clomid, and human menopausal gonadotropin
(hMG) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are some of the most commonly used
drugs. Most of these drugs are taken by mouth except hMG and hCG, which are
injections. However, these drugs do have some side effects.
Most all the couples nowadays want to improve their
fertility by adopting proven infertility treatments such as In Vitro
Fertilization (IVF) and In Vitro embryo transfer (IVF-ET). According to a
recent survey, more than half of couples using modern fertility treatments,
such as IVF and IVF-ET, considered these options to be effective enough to
increase their chances of conception. IVF is a complex procedure used to treat/prevent
fertility or genetic problems and to aid in the conception of a child.
According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), about 25%
of infertile women have problems with ovulation.
