What does IUF mean in LABORATORY

Intra-Uterine Fertility (IUF) is a term used to refer to the ability of a woman's uterus to host and nurture a pregnancy.

Hormones play an important role in IUF by helping the body maintain its reproductive system. In particular, progesterone helps create an environment that supports successful embryo implantation. Additionally, hormones such as estrogen help regulate maturation of the lining of the uterus so it can properly host an embryo during implantation.

Yes, there are potential risks associated with IUF. For example, endometrial hyperplasia — thickening of the wall in the uterus — has been linked with infertility in some cases. Other potential risks include uterine fibroids or polyps that can block eggs from entering or leaving the uterus or interfere with their implantation into the endometrium.

Conditions like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or hypothalamic amenorrhea can interfere with IUF by preventing ovulation or impairing hormone production. Without regular ovulation and/or appropriate levels of hormones necessary for optimal fertility results, switching off functions related to fertility are triggered within your body impedance normal fertility processes from occurring successfully.
