S. Rasik Fareed
Vth Unit, KGH
OUR ROLE
GIVE HER MENTAL SUPPORT
FIND THE CAUSE OF HER PROBLEM
FIND A WAY TO CORRECT IT
EDUCATE HER ABOUT THERAPY
DISCUSS ALTERNATIVES
• In old days, WOMEN WERE BLAMED when
couples did not have children
• Disorders in Men in 20-30 PERCENT OF CASES,
disorders in women in 40-55 PERCENT OF CASES,
and disorders of both in 10-40 percent.
• Severe psychological stress
• Self-blame
• Marital disharmony or emotional conflicts
• Complicated with hormone therapy
• Cost
CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY
Ovulatory factor
Tubal factor
Uterine factor
Cervical factor
Pelvic factor
Unexplained
INDICATIONS FOR EVALUATION
• Evaluation should be offered to all couples who have FAILED TO CONCEIVE
AFTER A YEAR OR MORE OF REGULAR UNPROTECTED
INTERCOURSE, but a year of infertility is not a prerequisite for evaluation.
• Earlier evaluation is justified for:
➢ Women with irregular or infrequent menses
➢ H/O pelvic infection or endometriosis
➢ Male partner with known or suspected poor semen quality
• 6 MONTHS OF UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT IN WOMEN > 35 YEARS
INITIAL ASSESSMENT

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Infertility one year or
longer
Initial evaluation, history,
physical exam
Irregular menses
No ovul. by tests

Counselling and Psychosocial support
If multiple factors present, investigate and manage concurrently
ANOVULATION
Normal or high day 3 FSH
and LH
Ovarian disorders
Low FSH, LH and E2 Abnormal TSH or T4 High sProlactin levels
Low LH, FSH, TSH, GH,
ACTH
Hypothalamic Disorders Thyroid disease Hyperprolactinemia Panhypopituitarism
Anorexia Hypothyroidism MRI Brain Assess and treat condition
Hypogonadotropic
Hypogonadism
Hyperthyroidism Pituitary microadenoma

Ovulation induction –
GnRH
Ovulation induction – FSH
I.U. / Timed intercourse
Treat underlying cause
OVARIAN DISEASES
Infrequent menses
Dec. estrogenization
High FSH, LH
Day 3 FSH
AMH
Advanced age
S&S of:
Hyperandrogenism
Oligomenorrhoea/ano
vulation
Premature ovarian
failure
Decreased ovarian
reserve
PCOD
Usually irreversible
Increased age –
decreased egg quality
Low chances of
treatment success
Increased risk of
aneuploidy
Ovulation induction
ART
IVF – Donor egg
Discuss adoption
IVF or I.U.I
Medical management
Surgical Management
RULE OF 4
• 4 punctures to be made on each
ovary
• 4 millimetre in diameter
• 40 watt current
• 4 seconds
OVULATION INDUCTION
• Infertility due to anovulation
• Necessary to exclude important pathologies before induction
and to identify successful form of treatment
• INITIAL EVALUVATION:
• IGT (35%)
• Semen analysis (20-40%)
• HSG / TVS
CLOMIPHENE CITRATE
• Non-Steroidal triphenyl ethylene derivative
• Acts as a SERM
• Both estrogen agonist and antagonist action
• Two stereoisomers : ENCLOMIPHENE and
ZUCLOMIPHENE
• MOA: Compete with the endogenous estrogen for the nuclear
receptors –> Inhibits the feedback on the hypothalamus –>
Increases GnRH pulse –> Increased ovulation
INDICATIONS
• DOC for ovulation induction in ANOVULATORY
INFERTILE WOMEN
• INEFFECTIVE in Women with Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism
• Effective in Short Luteal Phase
• Empiric clomiphene treatment is most effective with I.U.I.
TREATMENT REGIMEN
• Started on 2nd to 5th day after onset of spontaneous or
progestin-induced menses
• 50mg tablet daily for 5-day interval – 52% success (FDA
approved)
• Max dose – 150mg daily
• Lower dose (12.5 – 25mg) – highly sensitive women
MONITORING OF CLOMIPHENE ACTIVITY
• Serial Transvaginal Ultrasound
• Serum progesterone concentration
• Midcycle urinary LH surge
SIDE EFFECTS
• Palinopsia, Scotoma
• Transient hot flashes
• Mood swings
• Headache
• Breast tenderness
• Nausea
RISKS
• Multiple pregnancy (7-10%)
• No risk of birth defects
• Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
COMBINATION TREATMENTS
• Clomiphene and Glucocorticoids
• Clomiphene and hCG
• Clomiphene and Metformin
• Clomiphene with hMG
GONADOTROPINS
• Used in CLOMIPHENE RESISTANT cases
• hMG ( Human menopausal gonadotropin ) – contains both FSH and LH
• Recombinant FSH – only FSH activity
• Dose : 50 – 75 mIU/ml of FSH, given I.M. on day 5 of cycle
• TVS monitoring
• STEP UP REGIMEN is followed
AROMATASE INHIBITORS
• Inhibits enzyme AROMATASE, the enzyme which catalyzes the rate-
limiting step in estrogen production.
• Commonly used : ANASTRAZOLE and LETROZOLE
• MOA : Inhibits the peripheral conversion of testosterone to estrogen
causing a fall in the estrogen levels --> Increase in FSH levels -->
Ovulation --> Increased production of estrogen by follicle --> Negative
feedback --> Growth of dominant follicle
• NOT FDA APPROVED
TREATMENT REGIMEN
• Letrozole (2.5 – 7.5 mg daily) and Anastrazole (1mg) – 5 day interval
• Higher pregnancy rates when compared to clomiphene citrate (17.4% vs
12.4%)
RESULTS OF TREATMENT WITH AROMATASE
INHIBITOR
• EFFECTIVE IN CLOMIPHENE RESISTANT CASES
• Trials show that 75% anovulatory clomiphene-resistant women and 50%
women with PCOS ovulated following letrozole.
GnRH ANTAGONIST
• PULSATILE GnRH – TOC for HYPOGONADOTROPIC
HYPOGONADISM
• MOA: Blocks the GnRH receptors in pituitary gland
• PREVENTS PREMATURE LH SURGE and thus premature endogenous
ovulation in patients undergoing exogenous stimulation with FSH in preparation
for IVF.
• I.M. or S.C.
• Available preparations : CETRORELIX, GANIRELIX
• Risk of hyperstimulation is less compared to hMG
TUBAL FACTORS

• Proximal tubal
cannulation using
hysteroscopy or
fluoroscopy

• Lubricants (K.Y. Jelly)
• Lignocaine for pain
• Treat local cause

Management of female infertility

  • 1.
  • 3. OUR ROLE GIVE HER MENTAL SUPPORT FIND THE CAUSE OF HER PROBLEM FIND A WAY TO CORRECT IT EDUCATE HER ABOUT THERAPY DISCUSS ALTERNATIVES
  • 4.
  • 5. • In old days, WOMEN WERE BLAMED when couples did not have children • Disorders in Men in 20-30 PERCENT OF CASES, disorders in women in 40-55 PERCENT OF CASES, and disorders of both in 10-40 percent. • Severe psychological stress • Self-blame • Marital disharmony or emotional conflicts • Complicated with hormone therapy • Cost
  • 6.
  • 7. CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY Ovulatory factor Tubal factor Uterine factor Cervical factor Pelvic factor Unexplained
  • 8. INDICATIONS FOR EVALUATION • Evaluation should be offered to all couples who have FAILED TO CONCEIVE AFTER A YEAR OR MORE OF REGULAR UNPROTECTED INTERCOURSE, but a year of infertility is not a prerequisite for evaluation. • Earlier evaluation is justified for: ➢ Women with irregular or infrequent menses ➢ H/O pelvic infection or endometriosis ➢ Male partner with known or suspected poor semen quality • 6 MONTHS OF UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT IN WOMEN > 35 YEARS
  • 9. INITIAL ASSESSMENT • BOTH PARTNERS SHOULD BE PRESENT • Complete medical, surgical and gynecological history of the women should be obtained. • Risk factors to be evaluated. • Physical examination of the women. • Basic investigations mandatory before start of treatment.
  • 10. • Hormones to regularize cycles, drugs for ovulation induction • Symptoms of PID, STI • Genital TB • Hyper/hypo Thyroid, DM • PCOD • Previous abdominal or pelvic surgery • Previous pregnancy, abortion GENERAL HISTORY
  • 12. OVULATORY CYCLES • Regular • Mid cycle pain present • Cervical mucus changes present • PMS symptoms present prior to menses ANOVULATORY CYCLES • Irregular • No mid cycle pain • Cervical mucus changes absent • PMS symptoms absent
  • 13. • Duration • Period of physical presence with husband MARITAL HISTORY
  • 14. • Frequency of intercourse • Vaginismus • Knowledge of fertile period and ovulation COITAL HISTORY
  • 15.
  • 16. • Previous pregnancy – Spontaneous or after treatment for infertility • Abortion • Ectopic pregnancy • Puerperal sepsis OBSTETRIC HISTORY
  • 17.
  • 18. • Height, Weight and BMI • Thyroid enlargement, nodule or tenderness • Breast secretion and their character • Signs of androgen excess • Pelvic or abdominal tenderness • Vaginal or cervical abnormality, secretions or discharge • Mass, tenderness or nodularity in the adnexa or cul-de-sac PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
  • 19. Infertility one year or longer Initial evaluation, history, physical exam Irregular menses No ovul. by tests HSG - Tubal block Anovulatory Tubal factors Normal tests Unexplained infertility HSG - Anomaly of cavity Uterine factor Abnormal semen analysis Male factor Counselling and Psychosocial support If multiple factors present, investigate and manage concurrently
  • 20. ANOVULATION Normal or high day 3 FSH and LH Ovarian disorders Low FSH, LH and E2 Abnormal TSH or T4 High sProlactin levels Low LH, FSH, TSH, GH, ACTH Hypothalamic Disorders Thyroid disease Hyperprolactinemia Panhypopituitarism Anorexia Hypothyroidism MRI Brain Assess and treat condition Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Hyperthyroidism Pituitary microadenoma Other abnormal brain masses Ovulation induction – GnRH Ovulation induction – FSH I.U. / Timed intercourse Treat underlying cause
  • 21. OVARIAN DISEASES Infrequent menses Dec. estrogenization High FSH, LH Day 3 FSH AMH Advanced age S&S of: Hyperandrogenism Oligomenorrhoea/ano vulation Premature ovarian failure Decreased ovarian reserve PCOD Usually irreversible Increased age – decreased egg quality Low chances of treatment success Increased risk of aneuploidy Ovulation induction ART IVF – Donor egg Discuss adoption IVF or I.U.I Medical management Surgical Management
  • 22. RULE OF 4 • 4 punctures to be made on each ovary • 4 millimetre in diameter • 40 watt current • 4 seconds
  • 23. OVULATION INDUCTION • Infertility due to anovulation • Necessary to exclude important pathologies before induction and to identify successful form of treatment • INITIAL EVALUVATION: • IGT (35%) • Semen analysis (20-40%) • HSG / TVS
  • 24. CLOMIPHENE CITRATE • Non-Steroidal triphenyl ethylene derivative • Acts as a SERM • Both estrogen agonist and antagonist action • Two stereoisomers : ENCLOMIPHENE and ZUCLOMIPHENE • MOA: Compete with the endogenous estrogen for the nuclear receptors –> Inhibits the feedback on the hypothalamus –> Increases GnRH pulse –> Increased ovulation
  • 25. INDICATIONS • DOC for ovulation induction in ANOVULATORY INFERTILE WOMEN • INEFFECTIVE in Women with Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism • Effective in Short Luteal Phase • Empiric clomiphene treatment is most effective with I.U.I.
  • 26. TREATMENT REGIMEN • Started on 2nd to 5th day after onset of spontaneous or progestin-induced menses • 50mg tablet daily for 5-day interval – 52% success (FDA approved) • Max dose – 150mg daily • Lower dose (12.5 – 25mg) – highly sensitive women
  • 27.
  • 28. MONITORING OF CLOMIPHENE ACTIVITY • Serial Transvaginal Ultrasound • Serum progesterone concentration • Midcycle urinary LH surge
  • 29. SIDE EFFECTS • Palinopsia, Scotoma • Transient hot flashes • Mood swings • Headache • Breast tenderness • Nausea
  • 30. RISKS • Multiple pregnancy (7-10%) • No risk of birth defects • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
  • 31. COMBINATION TREATMENTS • Clomiphene and Glucocorticoids • Clomiphene and hCG • Clomiphene and Metformin • Clomiphene with hMG
  • 32. GONADOTROPINS • Used in CLOMIPHENE RESISTANT cases • hMG ( Human menopausal gonadotropin ) – contains both FSH and LH • Recombinant FSH – only FSH activity • Dose : 50 – 75 mIU/ml of FSH, given I.M. on day 5 of cycle • TVS monitoring • STEP UP REGIMEN is followed
  • 33. AROMATASE INHIBITORS • Inhibits enzyme AROMATASE, the enzyme which catalyzes the rate- limiting step in estrogen production. • Commonly used : ANASTRAZOLE and LETROZOLE • MOA : Inhibits the peripheral conversion of testosterone to estrogen causing a fall in the estrogen levels --> Increase in FSH levels --> Ovulation --> Increased production of estrogen by follicle --> Negative feedback --> Growth of dominant follicle • NOT FDA APPROVED
  • 34. TREATMENT REGIMEN • Letrozole (2.5 – 7.5 mg daily) and Anastrazole (1mg) – 5 day interval • Higher pregnancy rates when compared to clomiphene citrate (17.4% vs 12.4%)
  • 35. RESULTS OF TREATMENT WITH AROMATASE INHIBITOR • EFFECTIVE IN CLOMIPHENE RESISTANT CASES • Trials show that 75% anovulatory clomiphene-resistant women and 50% women with PCOS ovulated following letrozole.
  • 36. GnRH ANTAGONIST • PULSATILE GnRH – TOC for HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM • MOA: Blocks the GnRH receptors in pituitary gland • PREVENTS PREMATURE LH SURGE and thus premature endogenous ovulation in patients undergoing exogenous stimulation with FSH in preparation for IVF. • I.M. or S.C. • Available preparations : CETRORELIX, GANIRELIX • Risk of hyperstimulation is less compared to hMG
  • 37. TUBAL FACTORS TUBAL OCCLUSION PROXIMAL OCCLUSION DISTAL OCCLUSION • Microsurgical segmental tubal resection & anastomosis • Proximal tubal cannulation using hysteroscopy or fluoroscopy Fimbriolysis Fimbrioplasty Neosalpingostomy BIPOLAR OCCLUSION IVF
  • 38. UTERINE FACTORS Pelvic Tuberculosis Polyps Cat I – HRZE(2)/HR(4) Polypectomy Uterine Hypoplasia Surrogacy Fibroids GnRH Myomectomy Ashermann’s syndrome Adhesiolysis IUCD with OCP
  • 39. CERVICAL FACTORS CERVICITIS POOR CERVICAL MUCUS ANTI-SPERM Ab TREAT THE CAUSE IUI IMMUNO- SUPRESSANTS
  • 40. VAGINISMUS & DYSPAREUNIA VAGINISMUS: • Essential to win the confidence of the couple • Counselling • Fenton operation ( for rigid hymen ) • Plastic dilator insertion DYSPAREUNIA: • Lubricants (K.Y. Jelly) • Lignocaine for pain • Treat local cause
  • 41. ENDOMETRIOSIS SYMPTOMATIC ASYMPTOMATIC Observe 6-8 months Investigate GnRH analogues Letrozole RU-486 Destruction by cautery Excision of cyst Drainage of chocolate cyst Salpingo- oophorectomy
