Focus on Getting Pregnant after Infertility Management without Assisted Reproductive Technology in a Low-Income Setting | Chapter 12 | Research Trends and Challenges in Medical Science Vol.5

 

This chapter has been aimed to highlight the determinants of conception without Assisted
Reproductive technology (ART) in a low-income area. The current study concerned 2958 patients who sought care for infertility in the University Clinic of Kinshasa et the Centre Medical Edith, from January 2003 to December 2013. For them, any technique of ART was used. After treatment, 249 (9%) patients conceived (clinical pregnancy). Most of the patients who conceived were less than 36 years, without history of illegal abortions who suffered from genital infections. The treatments closely associated with conception were antibiotics (73%), hydrotubation (12%) ovulation inductors (11%) and gynecologic surgery (4%). In that setting, ART is a must. Very few infertility problems, apart from infection and itsconsequences, can get solution.
