Helping patients identity infertility conditions with expert diagnosis
If you've had regular, unprotected sex for over a year and not fallen pregnant, then you may have a fertility problem.
Specialists in dealing with varied & complex fertility cases
Sometimes patients come to us with a known condition. For those women and men with diagnosed fertility problems, our doctors can suggest the best possible treatment option for the situation, and will always carefully tailor any treatment to account for your known condition. We know how important it is to have a doctor who understands your individual situation.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and polycystic ovaries (PCO) are conditions characterised by cysts in the ovaries.
PCOS key facts:
- PCOS can cause irregular cycles
- The exact cause of PCOS is still unknown
- There is no-known cure for PCOS
- Generally women with PCOS respond well to IVF treatment
Low Ovarian Reserve
Many of our patients come to us with low AMH or high FSH, which is an indication of a low egg reserve. We are experts at treating women in this situation with Natural and Mild IVF
Low Ovarian Reserve key facts:
- AMH naturally decreases with age as the ovarian reserve is depleted
- Women in their 40s frequently have low AMH results
- Low AMH is still a treatable condition
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue, which usually lines the womb, grows outside the womb. As well as causing pain, endometriosis can lead to fertility problems in up to half of the affected people.
Unexplained infertility
Many of our patients come to us with low AMH or high FSH, which is an indication of a low egg reserve. We are experts at treating women in this situation with Natural and Mild IVF.
Unexplained infertility key facts:
- Around 20% of infertile couples fall into this category
- There is no-known cause for this condition
- This condition generally has no particular symptoms
Thyroid disease
Infertility can be caused by diseases of the thyroid, when it is under- or over-active. Women with a thyroid disease will be given tailor-made treatment under the care of our experienced doctors.
Thyroid disease key facts:
- An overactive thyroid can cause mood changes, weight gain & depression
- Lifestyle changes can help to treat some instances of thyroid disease
- Thyroid function can also affect a mans sperm count
Ovulation disorders
Ovulation disorders occur when ovulation is disrupted or absent. These can be treated at our clinic by our team of experienced doctors.
Tubal disease
Tubal disease occurs when the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged. This prevents the egg from travelling down the fallopian tube to meet and be fertilised by the sperm.
Male infertility
There are various causes of male infertility, due to decreased quantity and/or quality of sperm, which can be treated with intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or sperm donation
Hyperthyroidism and fertility
The thyroid has been somewhat overlooked in fertility treatment, unless results are very abnormal. However, there are clinicians that believe that it should be taken much more seriously than it currently is. There is evidence that actually thyroid hormones play a big part in fertility and pregnancy.
Azoospermia & general male infertility
Male infertility accounts for 50% of all fertility problems, but is often overlooked in discussions surrounding fertility treatments such as IVF.
