Couples’ desire to procreate is so natural and strong as the desire for freedom. When this is not achieved spontaneously, medicine can and must provide solutions. In Argentina, about 15% of the couples are estimated to suffer from fertility disorders. It is important to emphasize that in most cases, pregnancy is achieved with simple treatments, and around 30% of the cases have to be treated with assisted reproduction techniques. Thanks to the dramatic advances made in reproductive medicine during the last fifteen years, most couples can achieve pregnancy nowadays. Still, sometimes it is necessary to undergo different kinds of treatments or to repeat several cycles of the same treatment.
When couples face difficulties in procreating, they must try to preserve
their privacy above all things in order to avoid the stress, which is
clearly counter-productive. The medical team must accompany this process,
offering all the available information about tests, treatments, duration,
success rates, complications and costs, so that the couple may decide
when to begin tests and treatments to have their long desired baby. |
