Prescription Drugs, Contraceptives And Infertility
In recent years, advances in contraceptive devices and drugs, serious concerns have arisen about the possibility of a link between infertility in women and prescription drugs or contraceptives. While there has been a clear and indisputable link between spontaneous abortion or birth defects and use of prescription drugs such as Accutane and Coumadin are unmasked many myths about the impact of drugs and contraceptives infertility in women.
Although IUDs (intrauterine devices) and infertility have been linked for many years, IUDs by themselves do not cause infertility. Studies show that when a woman contracts a sexually transmitted disease while an IUD is placed, the device facilitates the spread of infection, which over time can lead to infertility. However, no cause or promote the disease. Doctors recommend IUDs for couples in long-term monogamous relationships with a reduced risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
Medicines for cancer, such as Femara , were also linked with infertility. Femara is used for treating breast cancer, but doctors found some uses not specified in the prospectus or approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of USA) for this product, including enhancement of fertility in women. If you or your partner will prescribe Femara now experiencing infertility, seek professional medical attention immediately.
