DIAGNOSED WITH ENDOMETRIOSISTREATMENT METHOD: ZIFT (ZYGOTE
INTRAFALLOPIAN TRANSFER)
Couple 1: Tootsie and Mike
ENDOMETRIOSIS
Diagnosis
What is the cause of the fertility problem?
The growth of functioning endometrial tissue in places other than the uterus that often results in severe pain and infertility
The cause of the fertility problem is endometriosis
How does it work?
The endometrium on the wall of the uterus is where the embryo is supposed to attach
This would cause problems for pregnancy because the cells, which inflames will leave scar tissues around organs that interfere with their normal functioning
Endometriosis vs Normal Uterus Diagram
Why would this cause infertility?
The fallopian tubes and ovaries may adhere to the lining of the pelvis or to each other, restricting their movement
Endometriosis can cause damage and/or blockage to the inside of the fallopian tube, impeding the journey of the egg down the fallopian tube to the uterus
Treatment methods for Endometriosis
Hormone Drug Therapy (milder cases)Observation with no medical interventionLaparoscopy Surgery(severe cases)-small
incision is made and the doctor looks at the abdominal cavity, endometrial growths can be removed
Other surgery (Laparotomy or Hysterectomy)
Treatment drugs
•Gestrinone
•Danazol
•Contraceptive Pill
•GnRH Agonists
•Progesterone Hormone Tablets
•The Mirena Coil
Surgical Treatments
Laparoscopy
Laparatomy
Hyterectomy
ZIFT (ZYGOTE INTRAFALLOPIAN TRANSFER)
ART Treatment
ZIFTa method assisting reproduction in cases of
infertility in which eggs are obtained from an ovary and fertilized with sperm in vitro and the resulting fertilized eggs are inserted into a fallopian tube by a laparoscope
Why use ZIFT?
The fertilized egg is inserted directly into the fallopian tube
it prevents the eggs from sticking to other organs
How does ZIFT work?
1) Eggs and sperm are collected
2) Fertilized in vitro
3) Inserted into the fallopian tube by a laparoscope
Timing Issues
The time it takes to do the process is varied because ZIFT requires two procedures
Success rate is varied according to the woman’s age and own health
Ethical Issues
High risk of multiple pregnancy
Caesarian birth with multiples
Success Rate and Cost
Success rate is about 36%
ZIFT costs between $7000-$8000
