Fertility Assessment

Fertility assessment is a crucial step for women who are planning to conceive, experiencing difficulties in becoming pregnant, or simply want to understand their reproductive health. It involves a series of tests and evaluations that help in identifying any potential issues that may affect fertility and guides in planning the appropriate course of treatment.

What is Fertility Assessment?

Fertility assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a woman’s reproductive system, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and hormonal balance. This assessment is essential for diagnosing any underlying conditions that might impact the ability to conceive.

Who Should Consider a Fertility Assessment?
  • Women who have been trying to conceive for over a year without success.
  • Women with a history of irregular menstrual cycles.
  • Women over the age of 35 who have been trying to conceive for six months or more.
  • Women with known gynecological issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • Women who wish to understand their reproductive health and plan for the future.

What Does a Fertility Assessment Involve?

  1. Medical History and Physical Examination:

    • Detailed medical and gynecological history review.
    • Physical examination to check for any abnormalities.

  2. Hormonal Evaluation:

    • Blood tests to measure hormone levels, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin.
    • Assessment of ovarian reserve through tests such as Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC).

  3. Ultrasound Scan:

    • Transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the ovaries, uterus, and endometrial lining.
    • Detection of ovarian cysts, fibroids, or other structural abnormalities.

  4. Ovulation Tracking:

    • Monitoring ovulation through basal body temperature charting, ovulation predictor kits, or blood tests.
    • Ultrasound monitoring of follicular development.

  5. Tubal Patency Tests:

    • Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check for blockages in the fallopian tubes.
    • Sonohysterography to evaluate the uterine cavity.

  6. Additional Tests (if needed):

    • Laparoscopy for a detailed view of the reproductive organs.
    • Endometrial biopsy to assess the uterine lining.
