A married couple – wife 32, husband 34 – came to see me at my office as she had not been able to get pregnant for the past four years despite regular sexual intercourse. The first visit revealed that she had had recurrent adnexitis and her husband had had frequent prostatitis.
We started investigating their infertility and carried out hormonal cycle monitoring, tests for specific bacteria cultures, took pap-smear and made tubal patency check-up for her, and took qualitative and quantitative spermiograms as well as bacteria testing for him as well. Results of the wife’s tests showed normal hormonal status and positivity for Chlamydia. The tubal patency examination however revealed bilateral tube occlusion and a normal uterus cavity. Results of the spermiograms suggested that both the qualitative and qualitative parameters were slightly below the normal range, and the tests demonstrated E.Coli positivity.
The wife was given medication for Chlamydia and I suggested laparoscopy for a possible re-opening of her tubes, which she refused. Following an andrology examination the husband was given antibiotics and specific vitamin complex, which significantly improved his spermiograms. As the next step, we launched an IVF program due to her bilateral tube occlusion. During the second cycle I transferred 2 embryos, one of which was implanted and on week 39 of her pregnancy she gave birth to a healthy girl.
