Diagnostics

When couples have difficulty getting pregnant, there can be a variety of reasons. Comprehensive diagnostics can help identify the causes and find suitable treatment options.

First, medical examinations and tests are usually performed to assess the physical health of the woman and man. These include, for example, blood tests to measure hormone levels, ultrasound examinations to check the ovaries and uterus, and spermiograms to assess sperm quality.

In addition, specific tests may be performed to diagnose certain causes of infertility. Some of the most common tests are:

1. Hysterosalpingography (HSG): an HSG is an X-ray procedure used to check the fallopian tubes and uterus for blockages or other abnormalities.
2. Laparoscopy: A laparoscopy is an operation in which a small instrument is inserted into the abdominal cavity to assess the condition of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus.
3. Sperm DNA fragmentation analysis: this analysis evaluates the integrity of the DNA in the sperm and can help determine if there are problems with sperm quality.
4. Hormonal stimulation tests: these tests can help diagnose problems with ovarian function or ovulation.

Once the cause of the unfulfilled fertility has been diagnosed, various treatment options can be considered. These can range from taking hormone medication to fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

It is important to note that a diagnosis of unmet infertility can be emotionally challenging for couples. It is therefore advisable to seek psychological support to deal with the challenges and make decisions regarding treatment.

Overall, a comprehensive diagnosis of unmet infertility can help couples understand the causes of their infertility and find appropriate treatment. With support and medical help, many couples can realize their dream of having a family.
