  2. At Health and Fertility centre for Women, infertile women get effective surgical and non-surgical infertility treatments that help them to conceive and give birth to a healthy child. In Singapore, there are many women healthcare centres which offer a comprehensive range of healthcare services including infertility treatments, care and checkups during pregnancy and healthcare services for newborns. Moreover, this centre offers cervical cancer screening and many other crucial healthcare services.

  3. What is infertility? Infertility, in case of women, can be defined as the inability to conceive or carry a child for the full term of pregnancy after one year of having sexual intercourse. Fertility potential decreases with growing age. The probability of conception falls to 97 per cent in women who are in their early twenties and to 65% in their late thirties and this probability decreases with every passing year. This is why women are advised to start family planning before turning thirty and if they are facing any difficulties in conceiving, they must consult a doctor. Besides female infertililty issues, the number of males suffering from infertility is also rising year on year.

  4. What are the psychological impacts of infertility? Infertility has many profound psychological effects, such as anxiety which in turn increases sexual dysfunctioning and creates marital discord. These give rise to emotional stress and marital conflicts. No matter who - the man or his wife- is suffering from infertility, this disorder takes a toll on health, emotional bonding and marital lifestyle.

  5. What are the causes of infertility? • There are many causes of infertility. Below are a few causes of infertility. • Causes of infertility in males: • Low sperm count • Poor motility of sperms • Poor morphology or shape of the sperm, due to which a sperm cannot penetrate an egg

  6. Causes of infertility in females: • Hormonal disorders in females results in the failure of the growth and release of the egg follicles. • The blockage of the fallopian tube prevents the meeting of the sperm and egg. • Invading of the tissues lining the womb and damage of the neighboring reproductive tissues. • Combined cause of infertility: In this case, both males and females may be infertile or sub-fertile which is another cause of a couple’s infertility.

  7. How can infertility be cured? An expert gynaecologist chooses a treatment method to cure infertility depending upon the causes of this disorder. Treatment methods of infertility may be categorized as medical or complementary and alternative treatments. Medical treatment of infertility involves the use of fertility medications, medical devices, surgeries, or a combination of medicines and surgeries. If conventional medical treatments fail to achieve a full term pregnancy, the physician or gynaecologist may suggest a patient to undergo an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). IVF and related techniques such as Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT), Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are called Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) techniques which can also be used to cure infertility in women.

  9. IVF Treatment Stage 3: Oocyte / Egg retrieval • IVF Treatment Stage 4: Fertilisation of eggs with sperm
