What happens if infertility is caused by prescribed medicines?
Human body is an important vessel
which we need to keep it in tip-top shape while considering a pregnancy. Mostly
women’s are aware that sexually transmitted diseases, fibroids, over- weight, diabetes
and thyroid problems may affect the pregnancy but very few are aware of the
fact that certain prescription and medication also affect the pregnancy.
“as the women’s menstrual cycle is
overall controlled by the coding between brain, ovaries and uterus, any
medication or health issues may disrupt the interaction and may affect the
ovulation and make it difficult for a women to achieve a pregnancy.
There are some medications which
are required to treat certain level of infertility. Close consultation with the
doctor is required when it comes to medications regarding your fertility
treatment.
Medicines or hormonal treatment are
often the first step considered in fertility treatment. They are being used for
IVF (IN VITRO FERTILIZATION) and ART (ASSIST REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES)
IF women have irregular periods or
no ovulation, using medications to stimulate ovulation increases the chance of
pregnancy but on the other hand it also increases the risk of multiple
pregnancies.
How medicines affect
fertility?
There are three main ways by which medication can
affect the fertility out of which two directly affects women. Medicines can
alter ovulation, endometrial and uterine productivity which has a direct impact
on women’s ability to conceive.
Medication affects both male as
well as female partner. In female medication may affect a women’s ability to
ovulate and in male it affects the sperm count by affecting the production of
follicle stimulation hormone (FSH).
It’s not only the medicines that
affect the fertility; there are certain types of drugs as well which do affect
the fertility. The drugs are as follows:
·
Testosterone
·
Anabolic steroids

Alcohol

Tobacco

Medicines choices for men can be:
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
(GnRH). This helps in increasing the production of hormones in body which are
needed for sperm production.
Bromocriptine and cabergoline lowe
prolactin level. High level of prolactin in body prevents the release of
testosterone.
