Treatment of Female Infertility

Infertility is a disease that exists when a couple has tried to conceive for 12 months during which time they have had intercourse without the use of contraception. There are many factors suggested as being the causative factors for this problem, and various diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are under practice to alleviate infertility with a great advancement in the molecular biology, cryobiology, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), etc. Earlier evaluation and treatment are required in women with age over 35 years and those with certain medical conditions. The couple should be evaluated at the same time. Stress, which can be manifested as anxiety or depression, is increased in women experiencing infertility. Therefore clinicians need to provide comprehensive care services that are individualized based on the patient's situation, including psychological support and counseling.
