In an interview in the seventh installment of Quality of Life in El País with the doctor Juan Carlos Paullier, the gynecologist and director of the Swiss German Clinic, Roberto Suarez referred to the infertility Y sterility. “In Uruguay between 15% and 18% and there are statistics that speak of 20% that there may be an affectation of both men or women of reproductive age that explains why a woman does not get pregnant; these are important percentages.”
Suárez said that in a third of the cases the problems are in women, in another third they refer to men and there is another third that do not have an apparent cause.
In the case of women, Suárez said that the main problem is the ovarian reserve. There are studies that show that at 28 years of age it begins to decrease, he said, but he warned that the consultation is generally “late” when the woman is already 35. To this cause that makes it difficult to get pregnant, he said that ovulatory dysfunctions, endometriosis and other factors are added. .
In the case of men, the problems are sexual (ejaculation problems, for example), sperm (in a spermogram it can be seen that there are no sperm or their quality is not good).
Suárez also referred to fertilization treatments. “In a good quality embryo transfer we can think that half have a chance of getting pregnant,” he said. In any case, he said that the successes of low or high complexity treatments depend on oocyte quality and sperm quality, but fundamentally on the age of the woman. Watch the video.
