Infertility

Infertility is defined as unsuccessful attempts to conceive for at least a year. The initial stage in treatment is an evaluation and examination to identify the underlying problem. Your assessment may include sperm testing, blood tests, or other lab tests, diagnostic imaging tests like an ultrasound or CT scan, and in-office procedures like hysteroscopy to examine the fallopian tube opening in your uterus.

Once the underlying cause has been identified, treatment options include medications to help control or stimulate ovulation, medications to "remodel" the uterine lining, minimally invasive procedures to remove fibroids or address other problems that may be impeding insemination or implantation, or surgery to address structural problems.
