Causes of Reproductive Problems and Solutions

Information

What are the most common causes of reproductive problems?

The causes leading to reproductive problems can come from both the woman and the man. In women, they are most commonly related to previous surgeries, inflammatory diseases, certain genetic factors, the presence of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and others. In men, it is usually a matter of illnesses during childhood (mumps), most commonly inflammatory diseases.

It is important to note that the causes can also be purely psychological, often related to the work environment in certain types of professions and the overall lifestyle.

Is it known how widespread the problem is - how many couples in the country have reproductive problems and how many of them seek specialist help to resolve them?

It can be said that over 200,000 couples in the country have reproductive problems, with only half of them seeking specialist help to resolve them.

In the presence of any of the above-mentioned problems in women, what methods are applied at MBAL VITA to resolve them?

The endoscopic unit at VITA specialises in performing laparoscopic surgeries for infertility, endometriosis, and fibroids, as well as laparoscopic hysterectomies. Diagnostic and operative hysteroscopies are also performed for infertility, endometrial polyps, fibroid nodes, septa, and others.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at VITA Hospital prioritises organ-preserving surgery. Through various minimally invasive surgical methods, faster and pain-free post-operative recovery is ensured, while minimising the risk of complications whose consequences often lead to reproductive problems in a large proportion of young women. If the need for in vitro fertilisation is nevertheless identified, the services of the Vita In Vitro Centre, which is part of the structure of VITA Hospital, are utilised.

When the need for in vitro fertilisation is established, what services does the Vita In Vitro Centre offer?

The Vita In Vitro Centre is equipped with the latest generation of highly specialised equipment, so that our patients can benefit from the most modern assisted reproductive technologies.

In general, the assisted reproductive techniques (ART procedures) we offer are:

• IUI - intrauterine insemination
• IVF - classic in vitro fertilisation
• ICSI - intracytoplasmic sperm injection
• IVM - in vitro maturation

We also apply microsurgical techniques for sperm retrieval in severe cases of male infertility and cryopreservation of eggs, sperm, and embryos.

Bearing in mind that every case is strictly individual, what period does the process from the first examination to successful conception usually cover?

Unfortunately, a precise answer cannot be given to this question, as the problem in each couple is strictly specific and an individual approach is required. As you may know, not every woman succeeds in conceiving after the first procedure. It follows that the duration of the process is very relative. It is modern to speak of a therapeutic module or series of procedures to overcome the problem.

Taking full advantage of the fact that the Vita In Vitro Centre is part of the structure of VITA Hospital and relying on the support of the entire medical team at any time, our goal is to provide a comprehensive solution to the reproductive problems of every couple that comes to us for help, and accordingly to maximise their chances of successful conception.

What would you advise couples with reproductive problems who have not yet consulted a specialist?

Generally, if after 1 year of trying to conceive pregnancy has not been achieved, it is advisable to seek an opinion from a specialised institution or infertility clinic, so that the couple can be confident they will receive professional help.
