Diagnosis & Treatment


Picture
Every infertility evaluation should include testing of both the male and female partners. These tests are done in a cost-effective way to identify all relevant factors that are contributing to a couple's inability to conceive.

​
INFERTILITY
For women under the age of 35, infertility is one year of trying to conceive without success; for those 35 or older, it's six months. Other reasons to seek an infertility evaluation are irregular periods, sterilization, or history of miscarriage.

ENDOCRINE DISORDERS
Hormones play a large and important role in everyone’s daily health and well-being. Disease, certain stages of life and different health conditions can affect your body’s ability to make or use the hormones you need. LEARN MORE ​
REPRODUCTIVE SURGERY
Sometimes, an anatomic problem prevents a couple from conceiving. Surgery can help fix the obstruction, whether it’s a scarred tube, an abnormal shaped uterine cavity, or other issue. LEARN MORE
