Diagnosis & Treatment
The assessment begins with both partners’ histories. Depending on findings, tests may include semen analysis, ultrasound, ovulation assessment, selected hormones and fallopian tube evaluation. Treatment may range from addressing underlying conditions to ovulation induction, IUI or IVF when indicated. Your clinician will explain any recommended investigation or intervention, potential risks, alternatives, follow-up and expected limitations. Treatment is individualized and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
