Understanding the Causes and Diagnosis of Female Infertility
Overview
Female infertility is a common issue that affects many couples trying to conceive. Infertility can have a number of causes, including hormonal imbalances, structural problems, and age-related factors. To determine the cause of infertility and develop a treatment plan, a female infertility evaluation may be necessary.
Why is a Female Infertility Evaluation Important?
A female infertility evaluation is important because infertility is not always caused by a problem with the male reproductive system. In fact, female infertility plays a role in approximately 50% of all infertility cases. By conducting a thorough evaluation, the specialized doctor can determine the cause of infertility and develop a personalized treatment plan to help the couple achieve pregnancy.
What to Expect During a Female Infertility Evaluation
During a female infertility evaluation, the doctor will perform a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms. The doctor may also perform physical examinations and order laboratory tests to help diagnose any underlying conditions.
Some of the common tests performed during a female infertility evaluation include:
- Ovarian reserve testing: This test measures the quantity and quality of a woman’s eggs.
- Hormonal tests: These tests measure the levels of hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol to determine if there is a hormonal imbalance.
- Ultrasound: This imaging test can help the doctor evaluate the health of the ovaries and uterus, including the presence of fibroids or cysts.
- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): This test uses X-rays and a special dye to evaluate the structure of the uterus and fallopian tubes.
- Laparoscopy: This surgical procedure is used to evaluate the pelvic organs and diagnose any structural problems.
Based on the results of the evaluation, the doctor may recommend a course of treatment, which may include medications, lifestyle changes, or assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
In conclusion, a female infertility evaluation is an important step for couples who are trying to conceive. By understanding the cause of infertility, the doctor can develop a personalized treatment plan to help the couple achieve their reproductive goals. If you are experiencing infertility, speak with your doctor about undergoing a female infertility evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during my care at the center?
Before your first appointment, one of our clinical care coordinators will call you to discuss your case and review what appointments to expect. The clinical care coordinator will make sure all appointments are arranged in a timely fashion. Each of our patients is unique and treated individually, and the schedule of doctors you see will be tailored specifically to your needs. The doctors will discuss your care options with you and answer any questions that you may have regarding your diagnosis and management.
How does the Samrudh Fertility & Urology clinic is differ from other obstetric centers?
We are dedicated to helping pregnant women and their families after a significant birth defect or genetic condition has been detected. Specialists from both obstetrics and pediatrics work together as a team to determine the best way to care for you and your unborn baby, both during and after your pregnancy.
Whenever possible, we create an integrated appointment plan, so that you can meet with the multiple subspecialists involved in your case. Some patients come here for a second opinion and go back to their obstetrician. Other patients transfer their care to Columbia as their delivery date approaches to make sure their baby immediately receives the necessary specialized pediatric care after birth.
