INFERTILITY
Department of medical surgical nursing
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:-
At the end of the class students will be able to:
• define infertility.
• Discuss the incidence of infertility.
• enlist the etiology of infertility.
• discuss the evaluation of infertility..
DEFINITION
Infertility is defined as failure to conceive after one
year of unprotected coitus. Primary infertility means
the couple have never conceived. Secondary
infertility means they have conceived at least once in
past
INCIDENCE
• 15 TO 20%
• 80% couple conceive at the end of 12 mth. With 20-
25%fecundability
• Increasing incidence is due late marriage delaying
pregnancy increase no of MTP increase awareness of
treatment unknown reason
• Azoospermia: A condition where there is no sperm in
the ejaculate.
• Asthenospermia: A condition where sperm have
poor motility, or don't swim well.
• Oligozoospermia: A condition where there are fewer
than normal sperm.
• Teratozoospermia: condition where sperm are
abnormally shaped.
• Aspermia is the complete lack of semen with
ejaculation (not to be confused with azoospermia,
the lack of sperm cells in the semen).
Pathophysiology
due to etiological causes
problems with sperm production, transport
or function
inability to conceive
Diagnostic Evaluation
Diagnostic Evaluation
• History Collection
• Physical Examination
• Semen analysis
• Endocrine evaluation
(FSH/LH/TESTO/GnRH/PROLACTIN/TSH
etc.)
• Genetic testing(karyotyping)
other investigations
• scrotal ultrasound
• transrectal USG
• Testicular biposy
• transabdominal USG
MANAGEMENT
Medical Management
Antibiotic treatment: For infections like
epididymitis or prostatitis.
Hormone replacement therapy: For
hormonal imbalances, such as low
testosterone.
 Anti-estrogens: For hormonal
imbalances, such as high estrogen levels.
Gonadotropin therapy: To stimulate
sperm production.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
(SERMs): To improve sperm count and
motility.
Antioxidant therapy: To reduce oxidative
stress and improve sperm quality.
Erectile dysfunction treatment: For erectile
dysfunction, such as phosphodiesterase type 5
inhibitors (PDE5Is).
Surgical Management
1. Varicocelectomy: Surgery to remove swollen
veins (varicocele) in the scrotum that can affect
sperm quality and quantity.
2. Vasectomy reversal: Reconnecting the vas
deferens after a vasectomy to restore fertility.
3. Epididymal cyst removal: Removing cysts in
the epididymis that can affect sperm transport.
4. Testicular biopsy: Examining testicular tissue
to diagnose conditions like azoospermia (no
sperm in semen).
5. Microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration
(MESA): Extracting sperm from the epididymis
for assisted reproductive techniques like IVF.
6. Testicular sperm extraction (TESE):
Removing testicular tissue to extract sperm
for assisted reproductive techniques.
7. Hydrocele repair: Removing fluid
accumulation around the testicle that can
affect fertility.
Prevention
• by increase the production of healthy sperm by making
certain lifestyle changes, including
• Maintaining a healthy weight.
• Eating more fruits and vegetables.
• Engaging in regular physical activity, including
walking, jogging, bicycling, dancing or lifting weights.
• Managing stress.
• Stopping smoking, drinking and using
recreational/nonprescription drugs.
• Avoiding the use of sexual lubricants (lube) during
sexual intercourse.
• preventing STDs
• avoiding hot bath
• avoiding pollutants and toxins
• limiting certain medication
• avoid exposure with pesticides and heavy
metals
EVALUATION
• Always be systemic one
• Individualization is done when definite
problem is identified
• Sympathetic attitude is necessary
SUMMARY
In this class we discussed the
Definition of infertility.
Incidence of infertility.
Etiology of infertility.
Evaluation of infertility..
