Beta Thalassemia Major

Beta-thalassemia is caused by a genetically mediated deletion of beta-globin chain of hemoglobin. It is an autosomal recessive disease, which causes a severe medical condition that requires longterm blood transfusions. An impaired hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis mainly causes infertility in such patients. This case report presents a 26-year-old female, a known case of beta-thalassemia major, that received monthly blood transfusions before conceiving. The patient sought consultation for the treatment of primary infertility at Bahrain Defence Force Royal Medical Services (BDF-RMS) Hospital. The patient underwent two trials of intrauterine insemination (IUI). The goal was to build up endometrial thickness by gonadotrophins administration for embryo implantation. To conclude, IUI combined with gonadotrophins for ovarian stimulation has shown success. Keywords: Artificial Insemination, Beta-Thalassemia, Hypogonadism, Infertility, Pregnancy
