Infertility Assessments
Infertility Assessments are crucial for identifying the underlying causes of infertility in couples who are struggling to conceive. Dr. S. Vidhyullatha offers comprehensive infertility evaluations that help guide patients through their fertility journey with personalized care and support.
The assessment process begins with a detailed medical history of both partners, including information on menstrual cycles, previous pregnancies, sexual history, lifestyle factors, and any pre-existing health conditions. Dr. Vidhyullatha takes a holistic approach, ensuring that both male and female factors are considered.
Key components of infertility assessments include:
Ovulation Monitoring: For women, tracking ovulation is essential. Blood tests may be used to measure hormone levels such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone, helping to assess ovarian reserve and confirm regular ovulation.
Ultrasound Scans: A pelvic ultrasound is often conducted to examine the ovaries and uterus for any abnormalities like ovarian cysts, fibroids, or endometriosis that could be affecting fertility.
Semen Analysis: For men, a semen analysis checks sperm count, motility, and morphology to assess male fertility factors. This is an important step in understanding potential male-related causes of infertility.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG): A special X-ray that evaluates the fallopian tubes for blockages or other issues that may hinder the egg from traveling to the uterus.
Hormonal Testing: Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact fertility. Thyroid, prolactin, and androgen levels may be checked to ensure everything is functioning properly.
Following these assessments, Dr. Vidhyullatha develops a personalized treatment plan, which may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or advanced reproductive techniques like IUI or IVF. With a commitment to providing compassionate care, she works closely with patients to help them achieve their goal of parenthood.
