Infertility Treatment Specialist in Austell, GA

Infertility in women refers to the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to full term. It is a common condition, affecting the lives of over six million Americans under 45 years of age. A woman is considered infertile if they have not been able to get pregnant for one year. If they are 35 or older, this timeframe is reduced to six months. Infertility can be caused by problems affecting any aspect of conception, including ovulation, egg transportation, fertilization, and implantation.

The best infertility treatment will depend on its cause, severity, and the patient’s overall health. Every situation is different: what works well for one person may not work for another. A doctor who specializes in infertility will determine what treatment option is best for your situation to produce the most desirable results. To find out what treatment is best for you, come to Cobb Women’s Health today.

There are three main types of infertility treatments:

• Prescription Medications — Pharmacological treatments for infertility can help increase the chances of conception and are typically used before considering surgery.

• Surgical Procedures — When conservative treatments have failed to produce results, surgical procedures may be used, such as fallopian tube surgery, laparoscopic surgery and corrective epididymal blockage surgery.

• Assisted Conception — This refers to procedures that artificially induce impregnation, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and sperm and egg donors.

Several different diagnostic tests can help determine a woman’s fertility, including:

• Hysteroscopy — Hysteroscopies can look for uterine diseases. The procedure involves a thin device inserted through the cervix to look at the uterus and any potential abnormalities.

• Laparoscopy — Laparoscopies are minimally invasive procedures involving the insertion of a thin viewing device via a small incision made beneath the belly button. It can examine the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. A laparoscopy can identify blockages, endometriosis, scarring, fallopian tube irregularities, as well as problems with the ovaries and uterus.

• Ovulation testing — An ovulation test typically involves a blood test that measures hormone levels to determine whether or not a woman is ovulating.

• Imaging tests — Imaging tests, such as an ultrasound, can look for uterine or ovarian diseases.

• Hormone testing — Certain hormone tests can check the levels of ovulatory hormones. They can also check for pituitary hormones that control reproductive processes.
