FAQs

Infertility is a condition of the reproductive system that prevents the conception of children. The diagnosis of infertility is usually given to couples who have been attempting to conceive for at least 1 year without success

Fertility treatments can increase the likelihood of getting pregnant.
Treatments can include lifestyle changes, vitamins, and supplements, surgery, medication, or assisted reproduction.
There are several treatments under assisted reproduction such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), IUI,ICSI. All these procedures involve harvesting a number of eggs in the hope of fertilizing at least one egg and then insert the fertilized egg(s) into the uterus.

The most common causes of male infertility are azoospermia (no sperm cells are produced) and oligospermia (few sperm cells are produced). Sometimes, sperm cells are malformed or they die before they can reach the egg. In rare cases, infertility in men is caused by a genetic disease such as cystic fibrosis or a chromosomal abnormality.

Laparoscopy is a way of doing the surgery using small incisions (cuts). It is different from “open” surgery where the incision on the skin can be several inches long. Laparoscopic surgery sometimes is called “minimally invasive surgery.”

For a few days after the procedure, you may feel tired and have some discomfort. You may be sore around the incisions made in your abdomen and navel. The tube put in your throat to help you breathe during the surgery may give you a sore throat. Try throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water. You may feel pain in your shoulder or back. This pain is from the small amount of gas used during the procedure that remains in your abdomen. It goes away on its own within a few hours or days. If pain and nausea do not go away after a few days or become worse, you should contact your ob-gyn.

We believe that fertility problems affect the couple as a whole and it is, therefore, necessary for both partners to be equally involved in all stages of diagnosis and treatment.

However, according to statistics, 40% of fertility problems are due to female partners, 40% due to male partners, 10% are attributable to both and the rest is unexplained.

According to our specialist that a woman consults her health care provider if she is: 1) under 35 years old and has been trying to conceive for more than 12 months, or 2) over 35 years old and has been trying to conceive for over 6 months.
