Dr. Pablo Ávalos, a specialist in Reproductive Medicine, in communication with El Ancasti, commented on what types of fertility treatments are currently carried out in the province and what they consist of. “After carrying out all kinds of studies, we can carry out a treatment that can be of low complexity (intrauterine insemination) or high complexity (in vitro fertilization); This will depend on the age of the woman and the results. In Catamarca we have the possibility of carrying out all diagnostic studies and low complexity treatments; high complexity we need a laboratory where eggs, sperm and embryos are handled and in Catamarca we do not have it to be able to carry out this type of treatment ”, he said.

“In the province we have around 400 consultations per year that are carried out for fertility. Most of the consultations are couples, and a smaller percentage are single women. They generally come because they have been looking for a pregnancy for a long time and they are not achieving it, or they did some other type of treatment and they could not achieve pregnancy, ”she continued to explain.

In this sense, Ávalos stated that the costs of these types of treatments vary according to the stimulation, but they are estimated at around $500,000. “Today, thanks to the fertility law, social works are covering these treatments. Both are invasive; injections are generally used that the woman must place in the abdomen, which causes discomfort; In the case of insemination, the procedure is similar to that of the PAP and they usually last between 12 and 15 days”, he concluded.
