Evaluation of Infertility

Infertility Treatment in Solapur

Infertility is a deeply emotional and complex issue affecting many couples.

It can stem from a variety of causes, and it’s important to undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying factors that may be hindering conception.

Dr. Sayali Gadre, a highly experienced gynecologist in Solapur, offers comprehensive infertility evaluation services to help couples understand their fertility health and explore appropriate treatment options.

Steps Involved in an Infertility Evaluation

Dr. Sayali Gadre provides a comprehensive infertility evaluation that includes the following steps:

For Women:

Medical History Review: A thorough discussion of your health history, menstrual cycle, sexual health, past pregnancies, and any known medical conditions (such as PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid disorders) is essential in understanding the root cause of infertility.
Ovulation Testing: One of the most common causes of infertility in women is problems with ovulation. Dr. Sayali may recommend tests such as blood tests to check hormone levels or an ultrasound to assess follicular development, ensuring ovulation occurs regularly.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG): This procedure involves using X-ray imaging to examine the fallopian tubes and uterus, checking for blockages or abnormalities. Blockages in the fallopian tubes are one of the most common causes of female infertility.
Ultrasound: A transvaginal ultrasound allows the doctor to examine the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding organs for conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, or endometriosis, which can contribute to infertility.
Hormonal Testing: Blood tests can be used to measure key reproductive hormones such as FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), LH (Luteinizing Hormone), estradiol, and progesterone. These tests help assess ovarian reserve and the function of the reproductive system.
Laparoscopy: If necessary, Dr. Sayali may recommend laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, to examine the inside of the uterus and ovaries. It is particularly useful for detecting conditions like endometriosis or pelvic adhesions that may be contributing to infertility.

For Men:

Semen Analysis: A semen analysis is crucial in evaluating male infertility. It assesses sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and overall sperm health.
Hormonal Testing: Just like in women, hormone levels play a vital role in male fertility. Blood tests may be conducted to assess testosterone and other reproductive hormones.
Physical Examination: Dr. Sayali will also perform a physical examination to identify any potential issues such as varicocele (swollen veins in the scrotum), which can impact sperm production and quality.

Genetic Testing: In some cases, genetic testing may be recommended to identify genetic conditions that could affect fertility.
