How the wrong infertility treatments can reduce your fertility


Infertility doctors, sometimes, act illogically. A patient whose burning wish is to have a baby is often subjected to meaningless treatment procedures. This can take up a lot of time and can possibly cause pregnancy to be delayed. There are complaints against the hostility of these procedures towards the patients and that these processes are capable of wasting their fertile years.

Here are some instances of infertility doctors improperly treating patients, which result in a decline in the patient’s fertility instead of a successful pregnancy.

Earlier, for a couple having complaints of infertility, the woman would be examined for anti-sperm antibodies. Anti-sperm antibodies were thought to kill the sperm, thus causing immunological infertility. This condition was treated by prescribing the use of condoms to the couple during intercourse. This was based on the assumption that continual exposure to sperm prompted the woman’s body to create anti-sperm antibodies, so the use of condoms for at least 6 months would shield the immune system from the foreign antigens present on the sperm. Conjecturing that this would help reduce the anti-sperm antibody levels in the woman, it was believed she could conceive immediately after condoms were discontinued. Malpani Fertility Clinic reveals that it is improbable for anti-sperm antibodies to play a major role in causing infertility as these are very commonly found in fertile women too. Malpani Fertility Clinic suggests that it is a waste trying to “treat” these antibodies. Read more at http://blog.drmalpani.com/2012/12/infertility-doctors-and-irrational.html
