Management of unexplained infertility.

C L Chan, S S Ratnam

    Singapore Medical Journal
    |December 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Idiopathic infertility, often unexplained, may stem from subtle causes like luteal phase defect or abnormal prolactin. Identifying and treating these conditions can improve conception chances, potentially avoiding advanced reproductive techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Infertility Research

    Background:

    • Unexplained infertility affects couples when no clear cause is identified.
    • Subtle underlying conditions may contribute to infertility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of investigating subtle causes of unexplained infertility.
    • To discuss potential treatments for these subclinical conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of potential subtle etiological factors in infertility.
    • Discussion of diagnostic approaches for subclinical conditions.
    • Overview of treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Subtle factors such as luteal phase defect (LPD), unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS), and hormonal imbalances can cause infertility.
    • Psychogenic, environmental, nutritional, and immunological factors may also play a role.
    • Early identification of these treatable conditions is crucial.

    Conclusions:

    • Thorough investigation for subtle causes is essential in unexplained infertility.
    • Correction of identified subclinical conditions can lead to successful conception.
    • Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are options when treatable causes are not found or corrected.
