Frequently Asked Questions

Infertility is characterized by the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse (six months if the woman is over 35). This term encompasses a wide spectrum of cases and is not limited to any specific health issue. If you find yourself in this situation, consulting with a fertility expert is recommended to identify potential causes and explore viable treatment options.

There are several diagnostic tests available to assess a woman’s fertility, even without an intention to conceive. Regular fertility check-ups can empower women to understand their reproductive options more effectively when planning for the future. Proactive awareness can facilitate early consultations with specialists and adjustments to family planning timelines. Key tests include: Blood tests for FSH and AMH provide insights into a woman's ovarian reserve. A higher FSH level may suggest the ovaries are not functioning optimally, thus requiring further examination. Antral Follicle Count (AFC), performed via vaginal ultrasound, evaluates the quantity of follicles in the ovaries, indicating the number of potential eggs available each month. Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) analyzes any abnormalities in the uterus and fallopian tubes, utilizing dye and X-ray technology to identify blockages or issues that may obstruct the fertilization process.

In cases where infertility arises due to a low sperm count, procedures such as IVF with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) ensure egg fertilization, allowing embryo development within the first five days post-fertilization. When there is an absence of sperm in the ejaculation, we can attempt to retrieve sperm cells directly from the testicle using Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE). This method employs a needle to extract tissue from the testicle, which is then evaluated under a microscope for viable sperm. Just a few present sperm cells can facilitate successful fertilization of the partner’s eggs, comparable to traditional fertilization methods.

All our embryology laboratories undergo strict accreditation and licensing processes to ensure that we maintain high clinical, health, and procedural standards. It is crucial to renew these accreditations regularly, as our labs are continuously evaluated for quality assurance.

Women face various factors that may lead to infertility, including ovulation issues, damaged or obstructed fallopian tubes, egg quality concerns, diminished egg quantity (referring to ovarian reserve), and uterine environments that inhibit embryo fixation.
