Female Infertility Treatment in Malaysia

For many women, having a child is their biggest dream in life, but unfortunately, it is all too common these days to struggle with fertility. Fertility rates are changing more than ever before with the increasing pollution of our environment and food sources, affecting our hormone balance. Generally, infertility affects about 15% of couples in their reproductive age.

A successful pregnany involves (1) releasing a norma ovum, (2) Adequate health sperms, (3) fertilization at the correct site, and (4) successful embryo implantation on uterine inner lining. Any disruption of any steps will lead to infertiligy. In general, causes of infertility are divided into male and female factors, with each responsible for about 40% of cases. The remaining 20% of cases, the causes are unknown.

Female infertility

  1. Abnormal ovulation – ovulation process is regulated by complex interaction of numerous hormones. Any health conditions that affect the hormona balance could disrupt natural ovulation. Such health conditions include polycystic ovarian syndrome, thyroid disorder, and prolactin excess. Extreme weight loss could affect hormone production, and hence disrupt ovulation.
  2. Abnormal cervix or uterus – structural abnormalities of uterus, such as fallopian tube defects could prevent ovum from fertilization. It can also hamper embryo implantation. Structual abnormalities can be congenital, such as arcuate uterus, uterine septal, cervical stenosis. It can also be due to infection (endometritis), inflammation (endometriosis) or trauma (Asherman Syndrome).
  3. Cancer treatment – Chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer could impair female fertility by reducing the ovarian follicles.

Male infertility

  1. Low sperm amount or abnormal function – sperm abnormalities are usually caused by poor lifestyle, such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, wearing tight inner wear, and exposure to anabolic steroids. It can also be caused by infection.
  2. Ejeculation problem – sexual function disturbance due to pre-mature ejaculation, weak erection are common causes of male factor infertility.
  3. Cancer treatment – Chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer could impair male fertility by reducing sperm production.
  4. Trauma – trauma to men genitalia can cause damage to sperm production. It can be work injuries, accidents, or sport injuries.

  • Hormone tests – a simple blood test could examine women’s hormone profile, identifying potential underlying causes for irregular periods, abnormal ovulation, and other hormone health.
  • Ovarian reserve testing – this test helps to determine the follicles reserve in women’s ovaries.
  • Hysterosalphingography (HSG) – this test assess the patency of the fallopian tubes to ensure clear passage for ovum to travel to the uterus.

Your hormones are the main messenger molecules in your body that can cause a wide range of impacts on nearly every body system. In the reproductive system, your hormone levels directly control your menstrual cycle, fertility, and ovarian health.

When hormone levels become imbalanced, your body will not know what stage of the cycle you should be in, causing your period to become erratic, ovulation to change, and even potentially cause the formation of cysts on your ovaries. Hormonal imbalance is often at the root of all these symptoms and physical changes.

We specialize in delivering bio-identical hormone therapy to solve one of the root causes of fertility issue – hormone imbalance. Additionally, we can help you balance irregular periods, maintain uterus and ovarian health, and thoroughly prepare women for a healthy pregnancy.

Bioidentical hormones are better tolerated in your body because they directly match the hormones that your body already makes. In contrast, conventional hormone pills contain synthetic hormones, which the body may see as a foreign invader, and which can cause health issues over time.

By using bioidentical hormones instead, your hormone levels will balance more naturally, which can lower your risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease in the future.
