Drugs and Surgery

Surgery is a treatment option for both male and female infertility. Generally it is used to correct structural problems, such as Endometriosis or Fibroids (non-cancerous growths that often occurs in the uterus walls).

There are a variety of drugs used to treat infertility. It is important to understand the most common fertility drugs and what their purpose is and to speak with your physician about the medications that will be used in your specific treatment plan.

Interventions at level 3 of infertility treatment options involve the highest risk and often the highest costs. The most common drug therapy for treating hormonal imbalance in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance; but, unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different cancer types among women, as the following study has proven.

These three levels of approaches for hormonal imbalance treatment are not mutually exclusive. You can use different approaches at different times or combine several at the same time. Nowadays more and more women think dealing with hormonal imbalance is best accomplished via a combination of healthy lifestyle and alternative treatments.

In 1991 the National Institute of Health (NIH) launched the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), the largest clinical trial ever undertaken in the United States. The WHI was designed to provide answers concerning possible benefits and risks associated with use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This study was canceled in July 2002, after it was proven that synthetic hormones increase risks of ovarian and breast cancer as well as heart disease, blood clots and strokes. The findings were published in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association.

If you still want to consider this approach, take a visit to your physician, and be more informed about what this treatment option involves.
