Description
In the era we are living in, the number of couples who have problems with infertility is increasing, this is due to the postponement of the first birth from young and middle ages, the use of various toxins in the daily materials we consume and many other factors. One of the most revolutionary discoveries in modern medicine, specifically in the reproductive aspect, is in- vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF means the technology of fertilization of oocytes and spermatozoa outside the human body and is a method that is applied worldwide, significantly contributing to successful pregnancies. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that influence infertility, to understand the age groups with this problem, to classify the percentage of positive and negative cases and the factors that can influence these results. Material and methods: This work was developed in a private clinic that offers IVF services in Pristina. Patient reports and protocols were used for the study and presented in the study as empirical data. Permission to access the data has been obtained in advance from the Executive Director of the Clinic Results: Our findings show us that based on the age of patients with infertility problems, grouping into four different groups can be applied: 25 to 29 years old, 30 to 39 years old and 40 to 45 years old, the type of primary infertility dominates for three times rather than secondary infertility. In the gender classification as the main factor of infertility are women with 50%, and the main female factor is tubal problems, further the results of hysterosalpingographic findings show us that 14% of patients had blocked tubes, this factor where IVF is indisputable. From the results of vaginal smears, 41% of the samples were positive, of these 41 samples, 24% were positive with the combination of ureaplasma and mycoplasma. Patients with thyroid problems were 21% and each of them was treated with adequate therapy based on TSH values. In the end, the classification of the duration of the stimulation showed us that with a greater percentage of about 27% women participate where the stimulation lasts 9 days for them. Conclusions: Based on the results of the paper on in-vitro fertilization (IVF), it was found that the ages of 35-39 years have a higher probability of infertility, with primary infertility dominating three times more than secondary. Although identifying the dominant factor in infertility is challenging, nearly half of the patients identified as having an infertility factor were female, with problems such as tubal structure and significant ovarian reserve. Furthermore, it is observed that sexually transmitted infections also affect the success of IVF procedures. In conclusion, it is recommended that couples be informed about their health status and consider the possibility of ovarian donation to address infertility problems in Kosovo.
