Within the 59th Congress of the Mexican Association of Reproductive Medicine, topics such as ovarian rejuvenation and early menopause were addressed.
Thanks to advances in reproductive medicine, there are now more options to help infertile couples achieve a pregnancy.
It is called infertility when a pregnancy is not achieved after 12 months of unprotected intercourse.
Through the development of technology, important advances have been made in areas such as reproductive medicine. Although the most important thing is that many of these innovations are available to specialists in our country. With this, they can make available to patients a wide variety of procedures to achieve a safe pregnancy.
Thus, during the 59th Congress of Mexican Association of Reproductive Medicine (AMMR) Trends and current events in the matter were disclosed. In this framework, Dr. Lourdes Florescommented that thanks to advances in studies and treatments in human reproduction, the causes of male or female infertility can be determined and treatment indicated, which must always be personalized.
Women now become mothers at an older age
The active member of the AMMR, also stated that postponing maternity is a common practice today, either because women prefer to dedicate themselves completely to their professional careers or by decision of the members of the couple; however, once this important life decision has been made, the great advances in reproductive medicine allow couples to achieve the precious dream of being parents.
“In addition to the decision to delay maternity, another important factor to take into account –both for female and female fertility– is age and for these cases advances in reproductive medicine offer treatment options that provide solutions to the couples who dream of starting a family”.
When determining that there is an infertility problem (when a pregnancy is not achieved after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse), both men and women must undergo studies to determine the best treatment.
Thanks to advances in studies and treatments in human reproduction, the causes of male infertility can be determined, which can range from the amount of sperm to genetic damage.
“When most or all of the spermatozoa have genetic problems, it is possible that these spermatozoa cannot correctly fertilize an egg or that they fertilize the egg and generate a damaged embryo, which can lead to abortion or the birth of a baby with health problems. ”.
And it is that the age of the men has an effect on the quality of the DNA of the spermatozoa, in normal and healthy men the testicles destroy the spermatozoa that present DNA damage. However, this ‘quality control’ process generally becomes less efficient as man ages.
Fertility in men and women
In these situations, and to select the most competent sperm, different strategies are used, such as the identification of the causes of sperm DNA damage, which allow reducing the number of apoptotic sperm.
On the other hand, regarding the fertility of women, Dr. Flores Islas stressed that ovarian aging begins at age 35 and worsens at age 40 because, over the years, the number of ovules that housed in the ovaries is decreasing, in addition its quality is diminishing and the alterations of the chromosomes are multiplying.
“In this case, the innovative technique of Ovarian Rejuvenation has been designed to combat the harmful effects of age, this process activates the remaining cells and follicles of the ovaries.”
The expert added that the objective of the Ovarian Rejuvenation It is to regenerate the cells of the ovary to increase your chances of ovulating properly and achieving quality eggs to fertilize and achieve pregnancy.
