FAQs – Infertility Diagnosis & Treatment

What is infertility?
Infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of trying (or six months if you’re over 35). It can be caused by factors affecting either the male or female partner, or both.
What are common causes of infertility?
  • Female factors: Ovulation disorders (e.g., PCOS), blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, age-related decline in egg quality

  • Male factors: Low sperm count, poor sperm motility or morphology, varicocele, hormonal imbalances

  • Combined factors: Issues involving both partners or unexplained infertility

How is infertility diagnosed?

Infertility diagnosis involves:

  • For women: Blood tests, pelvic ultrasound, hysterosalpingography (HSG), laparoscopy, ovarian reserve testing

  • For men: Semen analysis, blood tests, scrotal ultrasound
    Both partners are usually evaluated to identify contributing factors.

What are the main infertility treatment options?

Treatment depends on the cause of infertility:

  • Medications: Ovulation induction for women with ovulatory issues

  • Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery to treat endometriosis, fibroids, or fallopian tube blockages

  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):

    • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)

    • IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

    • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) for severe male infertility

How does In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) work?

IVF involves extracting eggs from the ovaries, fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory, and then transferring the embryo into the uterus. It’s commonly used when other treatments (like medications or IUI) have not been successful.

Is IVF the best treatment for everyone?

IVF is highly effective, but it may not be necessary for all infertility cases. The choice of treatment depends on the underlying cause, age, and overall health of both partners. Your fertility specialist will help determine the best option.

How long does infertility treatment take?
  • Medications: May take 3–6 months to regulate ovulation or hormones

  • IUI: Typically takes one to three cycles

  • IVF: Takes 2–3 months to complete the full process, from stimulation to embryo transfer
    Treatment duration varies by individual needs and response to therapy.

What lifestyle changes can improve fertility?
  • Healthy diet and exercise – Maintaining a healthy weight

  • Reducing stress – Managing emotional health during fertility treatment

  • Quitting smoking and alcohol – Both affect fertility

  • Addressing weight issues – Being either underweight or overweight can impair fertility
