Hormone treatment: What is a hormone therapy?<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\n

In many cases, an inability to have children can be attributed to hormonal imbalances. Although hormonal causes can be present in both men and women, hormone treatment is usually performed for women.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hormone treatment in women aims to promote egg maturation and trigger ovulation. This increases the likelihood of successful fertilisation. The success rates for each treatment cycle can vary greatly depending on the age of the women and the extent of the underlying hormone disorder, ranging between 10 and 20%. In most cases, it therefore makes sense to perform treatment over several months (cycles).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

How does hormone treatment work?<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
\r\n

The hormonal stimulation of ovulation takes place in several stages:<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n 1 <\/div>\r\n\r\n

1. Cycle diagnostics<\/p>\r\n

Before starting hormone treatment, a detailed diagnosis is performed during the menstrual cycle. During this diagnosis, the doctor checks whether there is a hormone imbalance, and, if so, which hormone levels are too high or too low. In addition, the doctor uses ultrasound to monitor the follicular growth in the ovaries and to check whether and when ovulation occurs. This information is important to determine whether hormone treatment is necessary and which hormone preparations are most suitable for the treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

\r\n\r\n
\r\n 2 <\/div>\r\n\r\n

2. Commencing therapy<\/p>\r\n

The treatment usually starts on the third to fifth day after the onset of menstruation. The medication can be administered either orally as tablets (clomifene) or as injections under the skin. The injections usually contain only FSH, but occasionally a combination of FSH and LH as well, and are usually injected once a day using a pen. After being given brief instructions, the women can perform the injection themselves. For certain very rare hormone disorders, treatment with a hormone pump provides the best prospects for success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

\r\n\r\n
\r\n 3 <\/div>\r\n\r\n

3. Ovulation and fertilisation<\/p>\r\n

From around the eighth day of the menstrual cycle, the doctor checks the progress of follicular development using an ultrasound and blood tests. In some patients, ovulation occurs spontaneously once the largest follicle has reached a size of about 18-20 mm. In other cases, ovulation has to be triggered by administering another hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The doctor will then recommend certain days on which to have sexual intercourse in order to have the best prospects of fertilisation. If, however, the motility or number of sperm is significantly reduced, treatment with artificial insemination will be necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

What are possible side effects and risks? <\/span><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/i>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Interfering with the hormone balance can entail side effects and risks, which the attending physician will explain individually before the treatment. In addition, during the treatment period, the doctor will regularly monitor egg maturation and hormone levels in order to avoid overdosing and to minimise the risks.<\/p>\n

Possible side effects of the treatment include:<\/strong><\/p>\n
