Obstetrics & Gynaecology

• Ovulation Problem
• Tubal Blockage
• Endometriosis
• Male Factor
• Unexplained
• Uterine Anomalies
• Chromosome Abnormalities

We offer diagnostic tests to look for factors that could be affecting fertility. We begin with blood tests to check hormone levels related to ovulation and ovarian reserve as well as a chromosomal analysis to identify any genetic factors that could be affecting fertility. 

Ultrasound examination of the genital tract may also be conducted to assess or identify the following: 

• Ovarian reserve
• Ovulation
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Uterine factor for infertility: fibroids, endometrial polyps, congenital uterine abnormalities, endometrial thickness
• Ovarian cysts

To assess the fallopian tubes, we may recommend either a hysterosalpingography or laparoscopy procedure. These tests help us determine if there are any blockages or abnormalities in the tubes that could affect fertility. For male partners, we conduct a thorough sperm examination using computer-assisted sperm analysis.

The management of infertility depends on the underlying causes, age of the female partner and previous treatment response, including: 

• Medication: usually used for induction of ovulation for women with ovulatory problems
• Surgery:
  • tubal blockage or adhesion
  • endometriosis especially with chocolate cysts
  • ovarian drilling for polycystic ovarian syndrome
  • uterine fibroids
  • endometrial problems: polyps or adhesions
• Assisted Reproductive Technologies:
  • artificial insemination/intrauterine insemination with or without ovulation induction (carefully prepared sperm from husband is injected into the uterus of the woman)
  • In-vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer (IVF or test-tube baby)
  • Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) / Screening (PGS)
