Infertility
Assessment of infertility causes and treatment planning for women and men.
The right treatment begins by understanding why pregnancy has not occurred.
Infertility assessment reviews female and male factors together and aims to identify the most meaningful next step for the couple.
Infertility assessment considers both partners together.
Infertility can be associated with female factors, male factors, both, or sometimes no clear cause is identified despite standard evaluation. A structured assessment helps determine which investigations and treatment options are relevant.
Age, menstrual history, ovarian reserve, tubal factors, uterine findings, semen analysis and previous pregnancy or treatment history are reviewed as part of the overall picture.
What may contribute to infertility?
Ovulation
Ovulatory disorders may reduce the chance of conception.
Ovarian Reserve
Age and ovarian reserve influence reproductive planning.
Tubal Factors
Tubal blockage or damage can affect fertilisation and embryo transport.
Uterine Factors
Fibroids, polyps or other uterine conditions may require assessment.
Male Factor
Sperm concentration, motility and morphology are important components of evaluation.
Unexplained Infertility
Sometimes standard tests do not identify a single clear cause.
The goal is not simply to name a cause, but to determine the next useful step.
The appropriate next step may be expectant management, ovulation-related treatment, IUI, IVF or another approach depending on the findings. Treatment decisions should be based on the complete clinical picture.
Frequently asked questions about infertility
When should infertility assessment be considered?
The timing depends on age, duration of trying to conceive and medical history. Earlier assessment may be appropriate when relevant risk factors are present.
Is infertility always caused by one partner?
No. Female factors, male factors, combined factors or unexplained infertility are all possible.
