Our specialized fertility control clinic gives advice, assist, and diagnose infertility problems in new couples. We believe that one in six couples will or is already facing fertility problems.
As a scientific team of the outpatient infertility clinic (IDY) can and will help you find any problems of infertility you may experience. Scientifically and Psychologically, we will always be there for you.
The male factor infertility is estimated to represent 33% of fertility problems, the female 33% and the remainder is considered as unspecified reasons. The most basic point that a couple should understand is that infertility is a problem for the couple and not one of the two partners only. So the solution for both partners and not only one of them. In our infertility clinic we have the opportunity to take an extensive history from both, as well as to make an initial assessment of the problem and have an atrial ultrasound to investigate the anatomy of the pelvis. During the first visit we will request laboratory and imaging tests, such hysterosalpigography and complete hormone tests to investigate fully the female problem. The husband should make a spermodiagramm to study potential problems associated with male infertility. During the second visit to the clinic having on our hands biochemical, hormonal and imaging tests will be able to give a definite answer to the reasons of the problem. There are four main therapeutic methods that the doctor can help the couple. These methods have to do with hormonal therapy, which may relate to either spouse, to the betterment of the semen or to induce ovulation. There are also some solutions such as intrauterine insemination. The gynecologist with a very simple technique, which is painless and without the use of local or general anesthesia, will place the treated sperm inside the uterus, thereby increasing the chances of achieving pregnancy. In some cases there are even more specialized techniques relating to assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization with the classical method or in some cases of male factor infertility using the ICSI. Modern technology has the potential to help the couple from a scientific point of view and greatly increase the chances of achieving that is pregnancy. On the other hand, the psychological support for couples is very important which doctors and nurses will assist with. What we must understand is that a couple entering into this process of investigating their fertility problems must realise that they occur quite often in modern society and is not a stigma or shame. Only your doctor can choose the appropriate treatment and advise you appropriately. You should be aware that the majority of couples who resort to infertility specialists, have a child. A major issue that we must understand is that a very important role, even in the use of new technologies is the wife's age. The earlier you seek assistance of assisted reproductive techniques, the more likely is to achieve the desired goal.
