Comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plans for couples facing infertility challenges.
Infertility evaluation is the first step for couples struggling to conceive and involves a thorough assessment of both partners to identify any underlying issues. The process typically includes a detailed medical history, physical exams, and various tests. For women, common tests include blood work to check hormone levels, ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and uterine health, and hysterosalpingography (HSG) to evaluate the fallopian tubes and uterus. Men typically undergo semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and quality. These evaluations help identify conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, male factor infertility, or hormonal imbalances.
Treatment for infertility varies based on the underlying cause and may include medications to stimulate ovulation, surgery to treat physical issues like blocked fallopian tubes or fibroids, or assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). In cases of male infertility, treatments may involve sperm retrieval or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and reducing stress, are also crucial components of treatment. Infertility treatment is highly personalized, with the goal of increasing the chances of conception while ensuring the health and well-being of both partners.
