Overview
Infertility is the inability to achieve pregnancy despite unprotected and regular sexual intercourse for 1 year. For women over 35, this period is reduced to 6 months. Infertility can be caused by female or male factors, or factors may be present in both.
Infertility evaluation includes detailed examination of both partners. Hormonal tests, ultrasound, HSG (hysterosalpingography), and laparoscopy if necessary are performed in women. Semen analysis is the basic evaluation in men.
Treatment options are determined according to the underlying cause. Ovulation induction, IUI (intrauterine insemination), and IVF are the main treatment methods.
Each couple is unique and the treatment plan is personalized. Psychological support is also an important part of the treatment process.
