Lisanditevõimetus

Lisanditevõimetus, also known as additive infertility, refers to a situation where a couple experiences infertility despite having no apparent reproductive issues in either partner. It is a diagnosis given when conception does not occur after a period of regular, unprotected intercourse, typically one year, and all medical investigations for common causes of infertility have yielded normal results for both individuals.

This condition can be frustrating as it lacks a clear physiological explanation. While known causes of infertility such as ovulatory dysfunction, male factor infertility, or tubal damage are ruled out, the inability to conceive persists. Potential contributing factors that are not easily diagnosed or treated are often considered. These can include subtle immunological issues, genetic predispositions, or even environmental influences that may affect gamete function or implantation in ways not yet fully understood by medical science.

The diagnostic process for lisanditevõimetus involves a comprehensive evaluation of both partners. This typically includes detailed medical histories, physical examinations, semen analysis for the male partner, and assessment of ovulation and the female reproductive tract for the female partner. When all these tests are within normal limits, the diagnosis of lisanditevõimetus may be made.

Management strategies for lisanditevõimetus often focus on optimizing natural conception through lifestyle modifications and timed intercourse. If these measures are unsuccessful, assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be considered, even in the absence of a specific diagnosed problem. The success rates of treatments can vary, and ongoing research aims to better understand and address the complexities of unexplained infertility.
