Filed under: General — Richard at 12:00 pm on Saturday, August 25, 2007

Endemetriosis is a disease that affects around 89 million women worldwide. When you have the disease, the tissue that lines your uterus begins to grow on the outside of your uterus and can spread to other parts of your body. In very extreme and rare cases, the endemetriosis can spread to the skin, lungs, diaphragm and brain. Women who have endemetriosis will still have periods, but internal bleeding, tissue shedding and degenerated blood will go along with it. As a result, scar tissue may form and there is also a lot of pain involved. Depending on how serious the endemetriosis is, there may be interference with normal bladder and bowel functions.

Filed under: General — Richard at 10:18 pm on Saturday, August 18, 2007

There are several stages of infertility. There is the discovery that you are experiencing infertility, the evaluation and diagnosis, and the final stage, which is treatment and resolution. During each of these stages the couple faces many conflicting emotions. There are coping strategies that can be applied during each stage that will help to ease the pain and allow the couple to cope with their infertility.

The Discovery Stage

Most couples discuss when to start having their children. They plan conception around careers or financial readiness. They feel that they have control over timing and then infertility strikes and that control is gone. Usually it is the female that is first to question why it is taking so long to conceive. She is more in tuned to her cycles and to their passing. Males usually do not want to admit that there may be a problem. The female is usually the one to bring up the need for medical intervention.

One of the major considerations when planning your infertility treatment has to be what treatments can we afford? What is covered by insurance and what is not? Are there less expensive alternatives? The costs covered here are your typical costs, but you should be aware of the fact that costs are going to vary by location and by clinic/doctor. Costs will also vary by what your cause of infertility is as this will indicate which treatments will be effective for you.

Is Infertility a Woman’s Problem?

Filed under: General — Richard at 6:14 am on Saturday, August 4, 2007

Infertility is an unfortunate circumstance that affects the reproductive system and impairs the ability to conceive children. It is estimated that 6.1 million people throughout the United States are infertile. Conception and bringing a pregnancy to term are both very complicated and both depend upon a variety of factors.

First of all, both are dependent on a man’s ability to produce healthy and viable sperm while they are both also dependent on a woman’s ability to produce healthy eggs. Conception and pregnancy are also contingent on the fact that the fallopian tubes need to be unblocked in order to facilitate the sperm meeting the egg. Another important factor is the sperm’s ability to penetrate and then fertilize an egg once they have made contact. Finally the last two factors are the ability of the fertilized egg, which is developing into an embryo to properly implant itself to the lining of the uterus and the ability for the embryo to develop as it is supposed to do.
