RESUMO

A couple is usually diagnosed with infertility if they have regular, unprotected sexual activity for a year or longer and are unable to conceive. Male infertility can be categorised into three types: obstructive infertility, non-obstructive infertility, and coital infertility. A major contributing factor for infertility in men is Y chromosome microdeletion, which is a non-obstructive infertility that involves problems related to sperm production. Deletions in the azoospermia factor region known as azoospermia factor a (AZFa), azoospermia factor b (AZFb), and azoospermia factor c (AZFc) loci independently or together which are situated on the Y chromosome cause a disturbance and alteration that are linked to either a reduction in sperm count, known as oligozoospermia, or the absence of sperm cells in the semen sample, referred to as azoospermia. Observations indicate that individuals with AZFc microdeletion may display irregularities in endocrine hormones. Men experiencing hormonal abnormalities affecting sperm production may receive treatment with clomiphene citrate. In cases of azoospermia and numerous cryptozoospermic patients, intracytoplasmic sperm injection is frequently considered the primary therapeutic approach.

RESUMO

This case report demonstrates the management of primary infertility in a couple: the male was 37 years old and the female was 32 years old. The female had a submucosal uterine fibroid. Later, the female underwent a myomectomy to remove submucosal fibroids in the uterus after two failed intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. After six months of her recovery period, she underwent ovum pickup for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. During the process of ovum pickup (OPU), four oocytes were retrieved: three in the metaphase one (M1) stage and one in the metaphase two (M2) stage. Subsequently, the couple underwent in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes, where the M1 stage oocytes were cultured for six hours. The M1 stage oocytes progressed to the M2 stage. These oocytes were then injected with sperm, which resulted in the formation of two blastocysts. These blastocysts were then cryopreserved for three months, and after three months, these frozen embryos were then transferred, leading to the successful conception. The case study evaluates a couple who suffered from infertility. This study includes a treatment of myomectomy and in vitro maturation.

RESUMO

Infertility, a complicated reproductive health issue that affects both men and women, can have a variety of causes, from anatomical abnormalities to hormone imbalances. This research addresses a couple who have been struggling with infertility for the past four years: a 31-year-old woman with bilateral tubal blockage and her 34-year-old spouse who suffered from primary infertility due to retrograde ejaculation (RE) for the same period. Analyzing the male's semen sample, it was discovered that there were dead sperm and urine, indicating RE. A hysterosalpingography indicated bilateral tubal obstruction in the female partner. Pelvic factors were examined via laparoscopy, which played a crucial role in addressing further issues. The procedure of treatment included testicular sperm aspiration for sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Hormonal support was involved in the follow-up, and on the 14th day, the ß-hCG test came back positive. The intricate procedures of RE and cornual block are discussed, with a focus on how they affect reproductive health.

RESUMO

Endometriosis stands out as the predominant issue among gynecological disorders. Approximately 50% of women experiencing infertility have been observed to be affected by endometriosis. Growing evidence indicates that endometriomas, in isolation, might adversely affect ovarian physiology. Medications such as ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel have been found to contribute to the amelioration of ovarian cysts in women of reproductive age. Presently, there are limited alternatives available for addressing the infertility associated with endometriosis. The primary effective approaches for treatment still revolve around surgery and assisted reproductive technology for endometriosis-related infertility. This case study centers on the utilization of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel in patients with ovarian endometrioma, leading to an enhancement in the likelihood of achieving a successful clinical pregnancy.

RESUMO

This report presents the cases of a 34-year-old male and a 29-year-old female who visited a fertility clinic and were experiencing primary infertility for the past three years. No previous medical history was identified in the couple. After a failed attempt of intrauterine insemination, the male partner was diagnosed with asthenozoospermia. A second attempt of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was performed which failed again. Subsequently, magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) technique was used as the sperm selection technique. The male patient's sperms were selected through MACS before ICSI. After performing MACS, successful pregnancy was achieved, which resulted in the production of blastocysts and a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin test. This case report highlights the prospect of successful results, despite the presence of sperm DNA fragmentation, and a comprehensive strategy for managing infertility issues. Promoting knowledge of lifestyle factors and how they affect fertility remains an essential aspect of comprehensive infertility care.
