Female and Male Infertility
Comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for female and male infertility, from initial assessment to advanced assisted reproduction.
What does a fertility assessment involve?
A thorough fertility assessment looks at both partners and aims to identify any factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive. This typically includes a detailed medical history, hormone blood tests, a pelvic ultrasound, and semen analysis. Depending on your circumstances, further investigations may be recommended. Understanding the cause of infertility, or ruling out significant issues, is the essential first step in guiding the right treatment.
When should I seek help?
As a general guide, it is worth seeking advice if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or 6 months if you are over 35). Earlier assessment is also recommended, regardless of how long you have been trying, if either partner has a known condition that may affect fertility, including: abnormal semen analysis, irregular or absent menstruation, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), known or suspected blocked fallopian tubes, a history of pelvic infection or endometriosis, or previous cancer treatment. In these situations, waiting 12 months before seeking help is unnecessary and may delay access to the right treatment.
