Infertility Treatment

Depending on the test results, different treatments can be suggested. Eighty-five to 90 percent of infertility cases are treated with infertility drugs (actually, fertility drugs) or surgery.

Various infertility drugs may be used for women with ovulation problems. It is important to talk with your health care provider about the drug to be used. You should understand the drug's benefits and side effects. Depending on the type of fertility drug and the dosage of the drug used, multiple births (such as twins) can occur in some women.

If needed, surgery can be done to repair damage to a woman's ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus. Sometimes a man has an infertility problem that can be corrected by surgery.
