Common Causes of Infertility

Infertility can be caused by various factors, and our goal is to identify the exact cause to provide the most appropriate treatment. Some of the most common causes include:

• Ovulation problems: Issues with ovulation, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can make conception difficult.
• Blocked fallopian tubes: Blocked tubes prevent the egg from reaching the uterus to be fertilized.
• Sperm problems: In many cases, infertility can also be due to issues with sperm quality or mobility.
• Age: As women age, their ovarian reserve and egg quality decline, making pregnancy more difficult.

Our Approach: Detailed Diagnosis and Personalized Treatments

Each case of infertility is unique, so at our clinic, we offer a treatment plan tailored to your needs and situation. The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying cause:

• Initial assessment: Includes a complete review of your medical history and hormonal tests to evaluate ovarian function and hormone levels.
• Ultrasounds and additional tests: We perform ultrasounds to examine your reproductive organs and tests such as hysterosalpingography to check if the fallopian tubes are blocked.
• Semen analysis: If necessary, we evaluate your partner’s sperm quality with a semen analysis to rule out male-related issues.

With the diagnosis in hand, we can offer the best treatment options to maximize your chances of conceiving.

Infertility Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, we offer different treatment options at our clinic:

• Ovulation induction: If infertility is related to ovulation problems, we provide medications that stimulate the ovaries to release eggs.
• Artificial insemination (AI): Prepared sperm is introduced directly into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization.
• In vitro fertilization (IVF): If other treatments have not worked, IVF is an effective option for many couples. We extract your eggs and fertilize them in the laboratory before transferring them to the uterus.
• Minimally invasive surgery: If we detect physical issues such as fibroids or blocked tubes, we offer gynecological surgery to resolve these problems and improve the chances of conception.

Frequently Asked Questions About Infertility

How long should I try to conceive before seeking help?

It is recommended that couples under 35 seek help if they have not conceived after 12 months of trying. If you are over 35, it is advisable to consult a specialist after 6 months.

Is in vitro fertilization (IVF) painful?

The IVF process includes several steps, but overall, it is well tolerated by most women. The discomfort during ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval is minimal and is usually well managed with anesthesia and medication.

Can infertility always be treated?

Not all cases of infertility have a definitive solution, but at our clinic, we evaluate each case individually to offer you the best available options. Many couples achieve pregnancy with the help of specialized treatments.
