Training on Infertility through NetCE.
I did a recent online training on infertility. Much of it was over my head, as they presented a lot of technical stuff. Terms primary and secondary infertility, never pregnant versus pregnant before. Infertility is unable to conceive after a year of unprotected sex. 80 percent of couple conceive within 6 monthly cycles, another ten percent (subfertile) within 12 cycles. There are 10 percent who are identified as infertile. Infertility can be woman cause, man caused or a combination of both. Infertility has increased among women as the age of reproduction has increased. Infertility is classified into three types, ovulatory (the woman is not producing eggs) tubal Occlusion, and sperm disorders. There are risk factor for infertility including obesity, diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases, alcohol usage, tobacco and caffeine usage, other controlled substance usage (this includes marijuana) and environmental issues. Treatments are many, starting with something as simple as a lifestyle change. Reduction of stress, along with exercise and better physical condition can increase the chances of fertility. Cessation of tobacco, alcohol or illicit drugs can also make a difference. There are some medications treatments, and then also physical procedures including surgery to improve blood flow to the male as well as tubal repair and other procedures for women. Other courses of treatment include artificial insemination, as well as assistive reproductive procedures.
One important factor about infertility is the training made the point that infertility is stressful, and can have negative emotional effects. Up to 30 percent of women have bouts of some type of depression.
Lastly, infertility can also cause marital discord. Often the wife is more vested in becoming pregnant and couple must be careful to not let infertility disrupt their relationship.
