At Essence Healthcare we aim to guide you through the complex journey of infertility with compassion, expertise, and personalized care. Infertility is a deeply personal challenge that affects many individuals and couples, and we’re here to provide the support and solutions you need.
What is Infertility?
Infertility is typically defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse, or after six months if you are over the age of 35. It affects approximately 1 in 6 couples, making it a common concern that deserves comprehensive care and attention.
Causes of Infertility
Infertility can arise from various factors, and understanding the root cause is crucial for effective treatment. Common causes include:
- Hormonal Imbalances: Disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid issues can impact ovulation.
- Structural Issues: Conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or blocked fallopian tubes can affect fertility.
- Male Factors: Issues with sperm production or function can also contribute to infertility.
- Age-Related Factors: Fertility naturally declines with age, impacting both women and men.
Diagnostic Process
Our comprehensive diagnostic approach ensures we uncover the underlying factors contributing to infertility. We offer:
- Detailed Medical History: Understanding your health background and lifestyle.
- Physical Examinations: To check for any physical issues that might affect fertility.
- Hormonal Testing: To assess hormone levels and ovarian function.
- Imaging Studies: Ultrasounds or hysterosalpingograms (HSG) to visualize reproductive structures.
- Semen Analysis: To evaluate male fertility factors.
Treatment Options
We provide a range of treatments tailored to your specific needs:
- Lifestyle Modifications
- Medications: Hormonal treatments to regulate your period, ovulation or address other underlying issues.
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for more advanced support.
