Infertility
Infertility is an issue that many couples struggle with and is essentially a condition that prevents pregnancy from happening. Unless you are actively trying to conceive, you may not be concerned about or aware of infertility.
Women who have been actively trying to conceive for over a year should consider an infertility assessment with Dr Orji. This will help diagnose any fertility issues and allow Dr Orji to determine the best course of action.
Other signs that you should consider having a fertility assessment include:
- You have been trying to conceive for over a year
- You are over the age of 35 and have been trying to conceive for over six months
- Have absent, irregular or painful periods
- Have endometriosis
- Have had recurring miscarriages
Dr Orji provides a comprehensive assessment to understand the cause of infertility and check your ability to conceive. The consultation will start with discussing your medical history, menstrual cycle and struggles with conception.
You may undergo several tests during the assessment to allow Dr Orji to create a complete picture of your reproductive health. These tests include:
- A blood test to assess your hormone levels and the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries
- A pelvic examination to screen for structural abnormalities
- An ultrasound to assess the health and function of your reproductive organs
Infertility can be a difficult journey, but it's important to remember that no one is at fault, and there are always options available. Dr Orji will use his expertise to ensure you receive the answers you are looking for and get the treatment needed to start your family.
