Immunological Infertility


Among many types of infertility affecting men, immunological infertility is one of the causes. We know about less sperm count, low motility of sperms, and related problems. But what is this immunological infertility? Let’s see-

Immunological infertility mostly affects men. The immune system in men may react to own sperm considering them as some invading cells. Thus, the immunological system severely impedes normal sperm motility, thus impeding normal conception. In rare cases, if a woman suffers from immunological infertility, her vaginal mucus may act as a killer to the entering sperms and thus obstructs normal conception. However it is still unproven.



Symptoms of immunological infertility:
Though no obvious symptoms are present, one should look for any old infective focus in the body. It may not be a frank infection but an old infection that wasn’t treated properly can create such havoc. Therefore, some diagnostic tests including ESR can prove helpful in ruling out infective focus in men.

Can immunological infertility be treated?
Yes, it can be treated by one of the following methods-
1) Steroids: Certain steroids like cortisone and dexamethasone etc can reduce the immunological influence on the body.
2) Antibiotics: especially when a frank infective focus is found, antibiotics work wonders to ward off that infection.
3) ARTs: The assisted reproductive techniques like IUI (Intrauterine insemination), ITI (intratubal insemination), IVF, and GIFT (Gamete intrafallopian transfer) can be performed under expert guidance and in standard fertility centers.

Many fertility centers like Palm Beach Fertility Center offer great payment plans and quality treatment option for such couples!

Octuplets: Is it a miracle?


Recently we have all watched in surprise how the Californian lady gave birth to octuplets and how she became a star overnight! Well, having witnessed such miracle, the scientific community is all set to unfold the truth behind octuplet birth. Several controversies surround this new mom of eight who already has to her credit six earlier children. Some are raising the concerns about bringing up the children and others are sending new Mom their best wishes and awards to properly look after the tiny lives.

Many scientifically oriented people are however saying that the dangers in such pregnancies outweigh the miraculous aspect of it. More the number of fetuses in womb, less space they get to grow healthily. Also, the mother’s health may be compromised. No wonder the doctors take precaution early on if they find more than two fetuses. But why in this case, such precaution was not taken? Whatever questions are raised now, eight live births are thriving now and they need a good environment to thrive into.

This is the reason one should opt only for proper pregnancy care in standard hospitals. One shouldn’t be careless and repent later for bearing so many children at a time. Raising children is entirely different issue and one should be aware of the dangers and scarcities you may force your children into. The IVF cycles and embryo transfer programs therefore must have a controlled approach and never things should be done haphazardly. Though nature provokes miracles like this sometimes, we have in our hand tools in the form of expert obstetricians. We should seek their advice for sure!

Surrogate safety


Many couples these days shed the taboos of social concerns and opt for surrogacy when they are unable to conceive. We know that there are many ways to treat infertility but if all other measures fail to elicit desired results, surrogacy is the option one should opt for. Two types of surrogacy are available- Classic and gestational. In classic surrogacy, the surrogate mother is inseminated with the sperm of child’s father. She carries the fetus to term and hands over the child to the intended parents after birth.

In gestational surrogacy, the biological mother’s egg is fertilized by biological father’s egg and the embryo is transferred to surrogate mother’s womb that carries it to term. Whatever mode of surrogacy is opted for, the couple is always concerned about the safety of their fetus and authenticity of the surrogate mother. This is the reason one should always opt for authorized and standard centers that can assure you of the safety of surrogate mother and her authenticity.



That’s why you should opt for centers like Palm Beach Fertility Center that gives you hundred percent guarantee of the safety of surrogate motherhood. Also the state of art technology in the laboratories assures you of the best possible lab techniques that can carry out the procedures very well. Dr. Denker here makes sure that doctor and patient relationship is the most crucial step for successful outcome of any fertility treatment.

Fertility and Pop Culture

As we are advancing in every aspect of life, we are compromising on so many things without our notice. The modern world has no doubt given us stylish clothes, technologically advanced machines, and treatments. But along with that, this modern culture called aptly as pop culture has brought some unwanted guests too. We know that we are suffering from modern age illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Adding to our woes, we are having declining fertility rates worldwide.

If you are not aware, even our eating and drinking patterns affect our fertility directly or indirectly. The instant food habits and junk food habits among children since very young age are sowing the seeds of tomorrow’s infertile couples. Though more studies and investigations are needed, definitely the modern pop culture is indirectly harming our normal conception. No doubt, this is leading to requirement of more and more advanced fertility treatments.

Also, the advancing age of marriage is posing the problem. The youth engulfed in career and self-advancement doesn’t have time to settle early on in life. However, especially the girls have problems with conception after 30 years of age. Rather, if the age of a girl is less than 25, her chances of normal and natural conception increase manifolds. Well, we can definitely take precaution of the things that we can modify to some extent. The normal fertility is our right and we should do everything possible to regain it back! Strive to have a balance between advanced world and natural living. It’s worth!
