Frequently Asked Questions About Infertility

Consult an infertility specialist if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or 6 months if you are over 35), have irregular menstrual cycles, known reproductive conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, or if the male partner has suspected sperm-related issues.

Common tests include hormonal blood tests (FSH, LH, AMH, estrogen, progesterone), semen analysis, transvaginal ultrasound, hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check fallopian tubes, and sometimes laparoscopy or genetic testing based on initial findings.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) places washed sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation and is less invasive. IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving eggs, fertilizing them in a laboratory, and transferring embryos to the uterus. IVF has higher success rates for more complex cases.

Yes, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, managing stress, exercising moderately, and eating a balanced diet can improve hormonal balance and egg or sperm quality. However, lifestyle changes alone may not resolve underlying medical causes.

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving eggs, and freezing them for future use. It is recommended for women undergoing cancer treatment, those who wish to delay childbearing, or individuals preserving fertility before medical procedures that may affect reproductive function.
